Pete (Pete Holmes) dreams of being a comedian but doesn't truly take his passion seriously until his wife Jess (Lauren Lapkus) cheats on him with a man named Leif (George Basil). Pete is forced out of his home and onto the couches of various comedians that he meets at the comedy clubs he frequents trying to find a place to perform. In the first episode, he has a rough time, getting mugged, bombing on stage, but comedian Artie Lange takes pity on him and invites him back to stay on his couch.
He helps Artie stay sober at a comedy club and runs into T.J. Miller who uses him for a ride and lets him stay at his place. Miller sticks around for an episode cracking jokes and accompanying Pete as he tries to salvage his stuff in a garage sale of his possessions. Pete finds work at a comedy club that is unpaid but allows him to get stage time if he barks on the street promoting the comedy show. He develops his routine and slowly improves throughout the season.
