YOU MUST BE JOKING

Dir. Jake Wilson (91min, USA, 2014)
Narrative
East Coast Premiere

Barb is an aimless, confrontational 27-year-old paralegal in this edgy comedy of reinvention. Sas Goldberg gives a frenetic, biting performance as a listless woman inspired by her childhood best friend, a ballet dancer, to pick up her long-shelved passion for standup comedy. Featuring a painfully authentic and endearing look into the New York improv scene, You Must Be Joking is a gut-busting, warm comedy with no shortage of emotional outbursts, awkward office dynamics, and dysfunctional families. An original feel-good comedy that asks the question: what makes you so happy you giggle?
