Punching the Clown

If you mixed the Barenaked Ladies and Larry David, you’d get a reasonable approximation of Henry Phillips, a struggling singer/songwriter whose witty lyrics and acoustic compositions are heads above what you might think of as comedy songs. After a disastrous screw-up at a religious fundraiser, Henry abandons the road to try his luck in L.A. He’s doing okay when two miscommunications occur—one that could make him and one that could break him. Before he knows it Henry’s career is tangled in a wacky game of “telephone” he might not be able to get out of so easily. This fresh, sharp, sophisticated farce stars the real-life Henry Phillips, who co-wrote this award-winning film with college pal Gregori Viens. It’s a blend of the innocent-bystander concept, a caustic look at the music industry, and Phillips’s wonderfully original stage performances in an authentic, sugar-free look at how the fame game works and how one misunderstanding can change everything.
