Director Statement

I'm so excited to start getting Cannibal Comedian out there! After finishing my previous film Big Top Evil, I had my hand at stand-up comedy and discovered how brutal that world was. Comics also use phrases like “I killed” or “I murdered tonight” and thought it would be fun if we had a serial maniac who really did kill on and off stage, and so Cannibal Comedian was born! We shot out in the high desert around and throughout the pandemic which made things more difficult with a skeleton crew, but we safely got it done! I’m super proud of this passion project and everyone involved!
