A Chronicle Cinema Original

It’s not easy.

A Danny Franzese comedy special

In his first-ever comedy special, comedian and actor Danny Franzese (Mean Girls, HBO’s Looking) sings, spills, and sets the record straight. Featuring two original songs, It’s Not Easy covers his Italian mother’s one-of-a-kind vocabulary, surviving Hollywood on residual checks, coming out after playing the world’s most famous gay bestie, and why Pompeii is scarier than any horror movie. Taped in front of a sold-out crowd.
