Welcome to SOMEONE'S UP LATE!, this universe's answer to THE TONIGHT SHOW or THE LATE LATE SHOW! Anything can happen here — celebrity interviews! Games! Ego trips! Murder! Stand-up comedy!

On the set of a late night comedy show, a team of industry sycophants and major stars manages the emotions and whims of the violent, volatile Host in an absurd peek behind the curtain at the natural consequences of failing upwards. PLEASE LAUGH is about power (and who can wield it) and what becomes of the soul of the underdog when they become the top dog. It's also about the power an audience has to shape a narrative.
