2025, Clay Tweel, USA
Audacious performer Andy Kaufman blazed a new trail for American comedy beginning with his guest appearance at SNL’s inaugural show in 1975. Notoriety and fame burned brightly but he was dead of cancer by the age of 35. Kaufman’s daringly over-the-top routines and impersonations – Mighty Mouse, Elvis, abrasive lounge singer Tony Clifton and the “foreign man” of sitcom TAXI—made him the most unconventional of comedy stars, and one with a pronounced dark side. As chronicled through family stories, home movies, the revealing memories of personalities including David Letterman and Carol Kane, and scores of outrageously funny performance clips, Kaufman’s persona comes to life in all its in-your-face provocation.
Producer Shannon Riggs and director Clay Tweel will be present for audience discussion.
“Shows us the legendary comedian in a new light, while giving us what may be one final gift.”—Danielle Soltzman, Soltzy at the Movies
