"C'era un cinese in coma" is reminiscent of Verdone's 1996 film "Sono pazzo di Iris Blonde" in that both have as their plot Verdone the show business pro guiding his young discovery on the road to fame and fortune, eventually eclipsing Verdone's capacity to control the situation. The co-star in this movie is male however, unlike the love-interest-with-a-younger-woman theme in most of Verdone's films.
When Ercole Preziosi (Verdone) discovers that his driver, Niki Renda, has a natural talent for "sexy comedy", he puts him on the stage. How will Niki deal with his instant celebrity status? How will it affect Ercole and Niki's friendship and Ercole's family relationships?
The title of the film refers to a joke, mentioned continually throughout the film. For the punch line, you'll have to wait patiently until the end.
