    A man, a taxi cab, and a dream. Comedian Sam Dingman weaves personal tales with revealing audio recordings from his days driving a New York City taxi. While dreaming of finding fame and fortune as an actor, Sam actually spent his days with toothless convicts, frozen embryos, and murderous city buses. Along the way, he started recording his (mis)adventures.

    On stage, with a computer and a beer at his side, Sam plays these random solo ruminations and conversations with anonymous passengers. They accompany, interrupt, and counter his stories, creating an intimate and imperfect portrait of a person trying to find his way. Sam discovers that no matter how many insane people or wild things he encounters on the pothole-ridden streets of New York, he may be the craziest one of all.
