Jason,

This was hilarious. Well written.

I loved Albert and even the random characters at the meeting hall.

The sock puppet was a nice touch.

in the end, all he cares about is his free t-shirt. While I agree that in comedy, a lot of things happen just fr the sake of comedy, still what you can do is make "that" thing Albert's characteristic. Make Albert more interested in free things. In the opening scene, when he asks for the burger with gluten, his priority is probably the free cookie or something that they give with burgers.

Just my two cents. I loved this script, though.
