I KILLED TONIGHT!
By Mark Palmer

GENRE: Horror, Thriller
LOGLINE:

A vengeful stand-up comedian moonlights as a murderous vigilante, dodging police as he delivers laughs and dark justice in equal measure.

SYNOPSIS:

When a stand-up comedian says "I killed tonight", it means that they had an incredible comedy show, it doesn't mean they actually killed someone...or does it?

I KILLED TONIGHT is a short film about a stand-up comedian with a very dark side and a very sharp cutthroat razor. Every comedian has daydreamed about what they’d like to do to that unsmiling, rude, miserable audience member that they constantly focus on, even though the room is filled with 100’s of smiling, laughing faces. They will always come back to that one face over and over again, without fail. These daydreams wouldn’t be filled with jokes and laughs, they’ll be dark and even edged with violence, remaining hidden, safe in the dark recesses of their minds. But when this audience member goes too far, a comedian decides to unleash those dark and violent thoughts and does the unthinkable, he makes that audience member pay, with their life.

This action, thriller set against a backdrop of stand-up comedy is like Dexter with elements of Birdman.
