This is a horror matinee of epic proportions. Twisted plot. Twisted characters. A dose of woman comeuppance. Comedians aren't people. They're lunch.
Veteran comic Bob Devore keeps a secret. He also keeps his assistant Violet under his thumb with promises of future fame. But Violet's getting tired of playing second fiddle and wants to strike out on her own. She's been feeding Bob's addiction too long. Which makes her a little bit responsible, and now she wants out.
Can Violet break loose of Bob? Can she settle into a decent relationship with comic hunk Jimmy Rhodes? Can she doing standup on her own? Success is just a burp away, if only she can shake off Bob.
The real comedy of this movie isn't the standup. It's the deadpan manner the characters deliver their lines and sell their depravity for laughs. A lot of fun. An honest look at how cannibalism isn't just about enjoying a good meal. This flick goes well with popcorn and a roomful of raucous company.
Enjoy.
