Shorts Program 1: Dark Humor in the Dark
Running time: 103 mins
That sound you hear is comedy sneaking up behind you. Cinequest is proud to present a dark collection of hilarious shorts that show just how funny topics like bank robbery, the history of Cold War scientific pursuit and labor relations can be. You can?t help but laugh at the moms who fuss, time travelers who fight among themselves and the mourners who take charge of the funeral. There?s something here for every comedic taste bud. Laughter will come at times that are wrong, whacky and weird. Comedians ranging from club-circuit performers to respected television personalities lay it all down for the entertainment of us all!Warning: Some of these films contain adult content and are not suitable for younger viewers...or adults that faint easily.
