About the event

AFI Silver After Dark: THE PEOPLE'S JOKER
THE PEOPLES JOKER

Tickets just $8 + drink specials

After being pulled from the Toronto International Film Festival immediately after its midnight madness premiere due to an “angry letter” from a “media conglomerate” in 2022, Vera Drew’s transgressive take on DC Comics’ Joker character triumphantly returned from the ashes two years later to have the last laugh. With comedy criminalized in Gotham City, the late-night sketch show UCB LIVE serves as the only outlet for aspiring Jokers and Harlequins, including Vera (played by Drew herself), a trans woman from Smallville, Kansas. Unfortunately, the show’s gatekeeping practices are maddening, and Vera decides to mount her own comic revolution in response. THE PEOPLE’S JOKER is an inventive take on the superhero genre, torching all preconceived notions audiences — and publishers — have about Batman’s rogues gallery, reinterpreting it to tell a funny yet poignant queer coming-of-age tale, co-starring alt-comedy legends Maria Bamford, Tim Heidecker, Scott Aukerman and Bob Odenkirk. NOT RATED
