“Comedy isn't funny.”
Comedy
Comedian Henry Phillips is lured to LA by a renowned TV producer who wants to bring his story of failure to the screen. But when a major network gets involved, Henry must decide whether he wants to make jokes for a living, or be the butt of them.
VIBE
A painfully relatable cringe-fest about the anxieties of a struggling artist. It feels like watching your most awkward friend navigate a minefield of professional and personal humiliation, all while trying to keep a smile on.
