The Killer and the Comic

by Andy Bloch

aka Rooster Mitchell

2 Males

Synopsis: Barney Goldrose is a sloppy, aging, joke teller.  Barney always wanted to be a famous comedian; but he's not.  His failures on the stage have lead him to yet another road gig and another hostile audience who won't find much love for his tired Catskills-wanna-be shtick.

     Carl Dean Tucker is a menacing serial killer working on his memoirs in a remote log cabin near Buffalo, New York.

     Following a car accident on the icy winter roads their worlds collide.  As the night unfolds we begin to cringe at the comic/tragic rat-in-a-cage train wreck, anticipating the inevitable bloody conclusion, and how tonight... only ONE man will truly "kill."
