National headliner Michael Jr. takes his comedy on the road to places where laughter is sorely needed, but in short supply.

This comedy tour is like no other and brings him face to face and heart to heart with hurting souls across America: the homeless on Skid Row in Los Angeles, abused children in Colorado, imprisoned youth in California, and those suffering with HIV in Fort Worth, Texas.

Overwhelmed by their stories, Michael Jr. offers his gift of comedy, hoping that he will deliver—and that they can receive.

Viewers agree -- Comedy: The Road Less Traveled motivates people to do something more, to step out of their comfort zone and make a difference in and out of their community by showing a way to give tangible love to the otherwise and forgotten and cast aside.

The interviews and testimonies in the film help put a face to despair and brokenness; hurting people talk about their trials and heartaches, yet we also see a glimmer of hope and strength as they respond to Comedian Michael Jr.’s performance. Common ground is found in laughter--comedy connects people.

Because the film merges compassion with comedy, TRLT creates a non-threatening opportunity to invite people to church. With this release strategy, viewers are invited to see a full-feature film shot in high definition for a much lower price than they would in a traditional movie theater. Or, if you prefer, you may opt to raise the ticket price by a small margin and donate the additional funds to a charity of your choice.

A large portion of the proceeds are going to help people like the ones you meet in the film, you will bless others just by showing up. As a fun activity for the whole family, CTRLT also creates opportunities for teachable moments between parents and their children, pastors and congregations, friends and neighbors.
