Dumb Show

DUMB SHOW by JOE PENHALL (A comedy about fame, betrayal and greed) When Barry, a famous comedian and TV celebrity, is introduced to personal wealth managers Jane and John, he can’t wait for their gold-plated advice about how to get rich quickly. Opening up to them, he willingly shares his views and details of his personal life. But soon he discovers he might become the victim of ruthless tabloid journalism in search of a sensational story. And a tense game of power and manipulation follows. Penhall, creator of Mindhunter on Netflix, has the gift of making serious points about our seemingly insatiable hunger for celebrity scandal wrapped in biting satire.
