Vicious Cycle
Poet and comedian Pete Strong performs stand up then gets on his bike. Drunk, angry, full of self-loathing and regret; veering through traffic, his past mistakes, and many regrets, it will take all his energy to finally get home safely. Poems, stories and jokes from a life lived at full pelt, head down, and to hell with the carnage caused. Can he get home? Can he find peace?
