The Joke

Frankie Gallows, a struggling comedian, gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to headline at London’s historic King Alfred’s Theatre, but it comes with a chilling demand from the theatre manager: perform a secret joke or face dire consequences. Blending dark comedy and supernatural elements, the story explores themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the shadows that reside behind the curtain of entertainment. It’s a haunting look at the price of fame and the dangers lurking in the pursuit of success.
