Jennifer Aniston will be hitting the big screen once again, in the new drama The Comedian.

Aniston is set to star opposite Robert De Niro, with plans in progress to commence production next year in the Big Apple.

The plot revolves around De Niro, who will star as a stand-up comic known for dishing out insults.

Enter Aniston, who will play the role of the female protagonist who meets the comic at a wedding, after which they develop a close relationship.

When it comes to the stand-up material, you can rest assured; the material has been written by Jeffrey Ross of the Comedy Central Roast, so there’ll be plenty of laughs to be had.

In the meantime, the former Friends actress has been busy shooting The Yellow Birds, a drama based on the Iraq War and due to be released in 2016.
