1215 - Shakes the Clown (1991)
Singular-voiced American comedic auteur Bobcat Goldthwait writes, directs, and stars in his absurdist satire of the 1980s stand-up comedy scene reimagined as a grimey city infested with infighting sub-castes of clowns whose insecurities, addictions, and lack of talent lock them in a perpetual rut of demeaning gigs, black-out benders, and petty jealousies. \xa0But one stands apart: Shakes. \xa0Perhaps the most talented and definitely the most alcoholic and self-sabotaging of them all.
