People's Joker, The
Vera Drew directs, writes, and stars in a dark comedy of an aspiring clown grappling with her gender identity combats a fascistic caped crusader.
In an autobiographically inspired story, a painfully unfunny aspiring clown (Drew as Joker the Harlequin) grapples with her gender identity while unsuccessfully attempting to join the ranks of Gotham City's sole comedy program in a world where comedy has been outlawed. Uniting with a ragtag team of rejects and misfits, Joker the Harlequin forms an illegal anti-comedy troupe that puts her on a collision course with the devious caped crusader controlling the city.
A wholly original and affectionate use of storied source material, THE PEOPLE’S JOKER is an invigoratingly inventive story of self-acceptance.
