Punching the Clown

The comic folksinger Henry Phillips stars in this wry, poignant, smartly satirical comedy as himself, and puts himself into uneasy situations in which he doesn't always come out as the hero.

Every aspiring performer will appreciate Gregori Viens' unassuming comedy, which cheerfully skewers industry pretensions and media-fueled trends.

Familiar show-business satire is enlivened by genuinely witty, off-kilter humor.

A quiet jewel of smart, unexpected laughs...as old vaudevillians would say, "It's funny because it's true."
