Years ago, Nick Abrahams was a successful comedian in Tokyo, starring in his own television show and hailed as the Seinfeld of Japan. He then landed a job at Warner Bros in Hollywood, working with George Clooney on ER and Aaron Sorkin on The West Wing. He produced and appeared in a film with Woody Allen, and then he became a lawyer.
When anyone hears this, their first reaction is, ‘Why so much name-dropping and then they ask, What went wrong? A lot of people escape being a lawyer to do something more interesting. Nick escaped doing something more interesting to spend 16 hours a day arguing over commas. This is a show about how Nick did a career change in reverse and then tried to escape.
And in a twist no one saw coming, he became a senior partner in a global law firm for 25 years.
Not just for lawyers, this show is for anyone who’s ever wanted to change their life but was quietly terrified they’d completely stuff it up.
