- Synopsis:
- Stand-up comedy can be a cut-throat business, but in Sam Coex's world, it's downright murder! From the annals of bizarre cinema comes perhaps the most bizarre one of them all 1985's 'The Comic'! In a dystopian police state reality of indeterminate time and place, orange bouffant-haired comedian Sam Coex is eager for his big break. Realising that desperate times call for even more desperate measures, he slits the throat of his rival Joey Myers, leaving the way clear for him to carve his own niche on the comedy circuit. But success can be a fickle and fleeting mistress, and Sam soon finds his career on a downward turn when he falls foul of the powers that be.

Chaotic and weird - The Comic review by LT
I do try not to show bias towards low-budget productions but this was rather awful, perhaps I was not the target audience or perhaps it was just too "niche" for me. Nonetheless, there are some nice parts, but in far too small a dose unfortunately.
