Blurb

Joe thinks he’s quite the catch. He plays bass in a semi-successful Bushwick band and has a sweet part-time job. But when his date suggests commitment, he can’t help but wonder if someone else might be for him. Enter SOMEONE BETTER, an AI dating app that allows Joe to date numerous women from the comfort of his couch. What ensues is a scathing yet darkly funny look at men and modern dating.

THIS SHOW IS 30 MINUTES LONG
