Billy Plimpton took to the stage and captivated the crowd at the
triumphant ending to THE BOY WHO MADE EVERYONE LAUGH, and in the
sequel, he's going to go viral. Celebrity comedian Leo Leggett
takes Billy under his wing, as his new sidekick: when Leo tweets
a clip of his stand-up act, Billy suddenly becomes the most
famous boy in the country. At first, this is GREAT - all the kids
at school think he's cool and he gets to appear on his favourite
morning TV show. But Leo's motives turn out to be shady and Billy
must turn the tables in a very public way...

starring a child like him.
