Comedian Billy Eichner will star in a romantic comedy from Universal that has Judd Apatow attached to produce.
The untitled project follows two men with commitment problems attempting a relationship. Eichner co-wrote the movie with Nick Stoller, who will direct.

His other credits include the series Difficult People and American Horror Story, as well as the Emmy-nominated shortform series Billy on the Street. Eichner is repped by UTA, 3 Arts and Ziffren Brittenham.
