Monkey Man Tells a Joke
Watch TrailerA comedian known as Monkey Man takes the stage at a Los Angeles club with a new set.

The 2025 comedy explores the fine line between self-deprecation and self-destruction, between the desire to be honest and the need to be funny. The film balances stand-up performances with personal drama, showing how humor is born from pain and how a joke can become the most serious statement.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs the narrative around contrast: close-ups of the comedian's nervous face on stage alternate with long, static shots of his empty apartment. The sound design emphasizes the difference between the roar of laughter in the club and the deafening silence of solitude.
Those who tire of predictable punchlines will find a raw examination of comedy's cost. What lingers after the credits is the echo of laughter that feels more like a sigh. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Daniel Kowal
Best Watched
In a diner at 3 AM, under the fluorescent lights, with a half-eaten slice of pie and the hum of a nearly empty room.
