About this listen

Guns, an ex-con, lots of beer and some stripping; Uncle Chris chronicles the craziest night of a young man’s life while visiting his uncle. The nephew is a recent college graduate about to embark on a cross-country bike trip. His uncle is an alcoholic garbage truck driver who lives in a trailer park. Part comedy, part tragedy and always absurd, Uncle Chris will examine both of their lives, the fascinating family lineage that they share and the reasons for why their lives are so completely different.
