A law-breaking comedian who is grappling with her gender identity forms a new anti-comedy troupe and finds herself battling a fascistic caped crusader. This revolutionary DIY parody film and hilarious reimagining of the classic autobiographical coming-of-age story follows an unconfident, closeted trans girl as she moves to Gotham City to make it big as a comedian by joining the castof a government-sanctioned late night sketch show in a world where comedy has been outlawed. As mainstream success eludes our heroine, leading her to unite with a ragtag team of rejects, misfits and loverMister J, she is born again as a confident (and psychotic) joker on a collision course with the city's fascist caped crusader. Vats of feminizing chemicals, sexy cartoon interludes, scarecrow psychiatrists, CGI Lorne Michaels, and psychedelic gender dysphoria all play supporting roles. Writer / Director / Editor / Star Vera Drew created this maximalist masterpiece using her own life experiences which was stuck in copyright hell until this year’s release. Join us for this gender joyride that is as much of a deeply felt personal journey as it is a hilarious parody.
