American Comic is a verité-style mockumentary from Daniel J. Clark and Joe Kwaczala. It follows two up-and-coming stand-up comedians, who, despite their superficial “cultural” differences, share remarkable similarities when it comes to egotism, self-destruction, and social ineptitude. Joe plays both of them.
