[Charlie] This is my nightmare.

(static crackling)

[narrator] The film which you are about to see

is the dramatized account of numerous tales

and rumors surrounding sacred lands

on the outskirts of a small desert town.

Originally home to ancient tribes

that were known to strip off and consume the flesh

of their enemies to gain their knowledge and talents,

it is believed that the descendants

of these tribes protect the land from pillagers, wanderers

and tourists.

Some even claim to have witnessed

the ritualistic practices continuing to this day.

Now, I know what you're thinking...

This part of our story is not very humorous,

although our protagonist did in fact eat the meat

right off of the "humerus"

which is attached to the funny bone nerve,

but the events that follow would lead to the discovery

of one of the most bizarre mysteries

in stand-up history,

the debut of the original Cannibal Comedian.

...'cause I'm a cannibal, right?

What do you get when you put a 60-year-old woman

in a motorized wheelchair?

Fast food, am I right?

He knows, he knows.

(laughing)

I was dating this girl.

We, you know, ended up separating.

Well, to be honest with you,

I ended up separating her on my work bench.

(laughing)

Oh, I'm killing up here tonight.

I mean, I... I killed last night,

but I wasn't here.

(inhales) Well, anyway, but I digest.

I don't wanna miss DJ Electric Butterfly.

[Jeff] Take a chill pill, we won't miss it!

- [Kate] That gas station has... - (inhales)

...perfectly fine hot dogs.

You expect me to eat a hot dog from a gas station?

Whatever, I'm a sucker for meatballs, though.

- Hey, y'all, you hungry? - [Jeff] You betcha.

[Charlie] Two subs?

No? What?

What are you, one of those vegans or something?

I am, actually.

- How about you, boy? - No way, Jose.

- Yeah, that's what I thought. - [Jeff] Oh, I love myself

- a meatball sandwich, baby. - All right.

That'll be six big ones, chief.

[Jeff] Here you go,

- keep the change. - Uh. Thank you, my man.

[Jeff] I bet you don't get much business out this way.

- Uh, I get some. - (munches)

How's the sub?

[Jeff] These meatballs are off the chain, bro.

What's your secret?

Oh, you now, just a little preparation,

freshest ingredients and of course, sense of humor.

[Eleanor] Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

Whatcha you doing way out here? A long way from home, aren't we?

Ah, I got a music gig at a festival out this way.

How much further up the road you do you live?

Just a little further.

So, are you meeting any friends or... or... or family out here?

Nope, just me. Well...

[announcer] Everybody give a round of applause for Charlie,

- Hey, how we all doing tonight? - (audience cheering)

Good.

So, uh, I was out with this girl last night.

She wasn't too pretty on the outside,

but, uh, as I say, "It's her insides that count."

- Right? - (audience laughing)

[Charlie] I mean, it was only our first date

and she was already spilling her guts.

- (audience laughing) - (laughs)

And then she started to get a little moody.

So, uh, I asked her, "What's eating you?"

- And she said, "You are!" - (audience laughing)

- (laughs) - What the fuck?

Hey, uh, it looks like we got a heckler out there.

- Let me go! - (audience booing)

I'm doing a comedy show, duh.

(sobs) Who are you?

- I'm Char... I'm Charlie. - (breathes shakily)

I don't know what's happening... (breathes deeply)

...but I've got a big show to get to,

and people are expecting me. (sobs)

What is that stench? It stinks in here.

- (sobs) - Oh, you'll get used to that.

What?

You don't know who you're messing with!

I'll rip your fucking eyes out and shove them

so far down your throat,

you'll see me kick your fucking ass!

- (breathes shakily) - Oh.

Would I like to see that? Yes, I would.

It is hotter out here

than an M-80 up in an armadillo's ass.

(laughs)

[Weaver] Catch you at a bad time?

[Charlie] Uh, yeah, kind of. I was just sitting down to eat.

Reason I'm up this way, is the disappearance of a girl.

- (paper crinkling) - [Charlie] Huh?

Just the one?

(both laugh)

- Ooh. - (Charlie laughs)

She's so pretty, she could make a wild boar chirp.

Yeah, well, don't get any ideas, all right?

- She's all mine. - [Weaver] She alive?

- Yeah, with attitude. - Grind her up.

I will, I will.

[Weaver] You get too attached to your captives,

especially the pretty ones.

[Charlie] I'm sorry.

Didn't want you to see me without my face on.

- (laughs) - (audience laughing)

So, where you got her shackled up at?

Oh, she's in the room.

So, what do you think of my performance just then?

- Believable? - Hmm... Mediocre.

- Mediocre? - (Charlie chuckles)

That there was some Oscar material.

(scoffs)

Oh, what's that smell, is that beef stew that I smell?

Uh, no, well, I was just having some--

- (door clatters) - Come on in, then.

[Weaver] I'm so hungry.

- I could eat a horse... - (sighs)

...and chase the jockey for the dessert! (laughs)

(door closes)

(Charlie sighs)

(sighs)

You got a spoon? Mm.

- (spoon clinks) - Yeah, there we go.

Mm-mm.

(chair clanks, creaks)

So, you just talking in one liners now?

I got more lines than a coked-out rock star.

(laughs)

What would you know about that?

[Weaver] Whatever.

Hey, how's your comedy coming along?

- [Charlie] It's coming along. - Oh, yeah, yeah?

Tell me a joke.

[Charlie] Um. (smacks lips) You, dipshit.

Oh, so you think you're gonna make

a career outta being a funny man?

- [Charlie] And why wouldn't I? - (smacks lips)

'Cause you need to have an audience

to make it in these days.

(smacks lips) I do have an audience.

I ain't talking about your captives,

they don't count.

Oh, they count.

I'm just trying to help.

Well, you're not.

(Weaver sighs)

You know, you got a real shit hole here.

(inhales) Yeah, and I love it.

(chuckles)

[woman over TV] They really are, too.

Good evening, I'm Bart Cooper.

the strange disappearance of Chrystal Jennings.

Last seen leaving the country liquor market...

- Oh. - [Bart] ...outside town,

she was on her way to play

- Well, this is a good bit. - [Bart] ...a music festival

and shortly thereafter,

reported missing by her grandmother.

Chrystal, honey, it's granny.

I'm so worried,

- please come home. - (laughs) Oh!

If anybody has her out there,

please, please let her go,

- she's an angel. - (laughs)

[granny] And I just want her home.

[Bart] That's some real compelling stuff.

- (laughs) - In other news,

Can you take your headphones off?

What?

[Chrystal] You're talking real loud.

Oh! Oh, yeah.

You... you got some... got some good stuff here.

Definitely some hits.

Shit, if only you were the head of a major record label.

- (song fades) - (machinery whirring)

Why don't you just give me a break, man?

I'm a standup comedian, damn it.

Oh, really?

Really.

Well, are you gonna go out and do the open mic or what?

(scoffs) I don't really know yet.

(exhales) Pathetic.

You know, if you're so smart,

why don't you think of something?

We're the same person, dummy.

[Charlie] I don't know if I can do this.

(chuckles) I... I can't, I can't do--

Well, what do you think I should do?

Why are you asking me?

[Charlie] Because, you know, you're... (exhales, inhales)

...you're a performer.

You've... you've experienced this before.

You know, the pressure.

The pressure?

That's nothing compared

to what you've been putting me through.

(Charlie scoffs)

Jesus, I can't believe

I'm talking to you like a normal fucking person.

You brutally slaughtered two guys in front of me

the other day, and... (scoffs)

...I don't even know if you're gonna kill me.

[Charlie] Can we just focus on the problem at hand, please?

Focus?

Just go and do the show already.

When do you ever get out of this shit hole?

[Charlie] I get out, I venture out sometimes,

you know, not very far and maybe not for too long.

Well, maybe that's why you're such a psycho.

Or is it the poor toilet training?

- (Charlie exhales) - (smacks lips) Look,

if you want to do comedy for real, just fucking do it.

I mean, if you don't go to prison for murder

- or anything. - (Charlie scoffs)

(sighs) You gotta take risks in life.

I'd rather fail trying than not try at all.

And that's my motto.

[Charlie] You know, maybe you're right.

Yeah, no, you're right.

You're right, I could do this.

Yeah, no, I'm... I'm going, I'm doing this.

So, uh, tonight's the big night, huh?

Hey, thanks.

And don't forget to bring it home

while it's still fresh.

Right.

Hey! What are you doing?

- You doing a character tonight? - [Charlie] What do you mean?

[Juan] What's with the whole apron

and the bloody shirt?

- You a butcher or something? - Oh, a cannibal.

Nice, cannibal comic!

Yeah!

[Juan] Ah, that's original, haven't seen that before.

[comedian] So, I just deleted all the German names

from my phone.

It's now completely Hans free. (laughs)

Will you light this guy already? Jesus.

Enough with the fucking running the light.

Don't be that guy, all right?

You get five minutes, man. Get off, don't be that guy.

(clinks)

- Guess that's my time... - (tense music playing)

- (chokes) - So, what do you say, Bruce?

Oh... Whatever you want, Carrey. I didn't even like those jokes!

So, you're not gonna say anything, right?

No way, man.

It's officially your material. (gags)

And this meeting, it never happened,

not ever in your life.

- What meeting? (groans) - Exactly.

We got a special guest coming for you guys.

A special treat.

Coming to the stage is Carrey the Entertainer!

(audience cheering, applauding)

[Carrey] Hey everybody! My name's Carrey.

Not to be confused with, uh, Jim Carrey. (chuckles)

- (glasses clinking) - (Vic laughs nervously)

Did you hear about that frog that parked his car

in the restricted zone?

Yeah, he got toad.

- (Vic laughs) - He got toad!

(audience laughing)

(laughs) Yo! (laughs)

You know, technology today, man, they're taking over our kids.

You know, I remember back in my day,

if a bully came up to me at school

and demanded lunch money, you just have to give it to 'em.

Now, it's like, "Hey, transfer me your lunch money

- through the Cashapp." - (Vic laughs)

You got bullies sending invoices now.

Do you accept yes or no?

[Vic] Hell yeah. (laughs)

[Carrey] Question for you, what do you call a midget,

that lies, cheats and steals, huh?

- You call him a real low life! - (laughs)

'Cause he's a midget!

- (Vic laughs) - Sorry, little midget.

- (Vic laughs, yells) - Out of respect.

I guess that's my time, folks, thank you so much.

- (distant coughing) - Three-drink minimum...

(mic feedback screeches)

(indistinct chatter)

(sighs) Even Bruce's jokes suck.

(soft music playing)

[Vic] Well, uh, welcome to open mic.

We about to get this thing started.

So, we got the next comic coming to the stage.

Uh, I've never seen him before,

but he calls himself the Cannibal Comedian, Charlie.

- (exhales) - [Vic] Is Charlie in the house?

Come on up, Charlie.

- Give it up for Charlie, y'all. - (mic feedback screeches)

Sorry. Hey, hi everybody.

(exhales) Uh.

So-- (clears throat)

So, I was going out with this girl the other night,

and, uh, she wasn't too pretty on the outside, but, uh,

well her insides sure were tasty.

- (Vic laughs) - (audience laughing)

I mean, she was already opening up to me, the first date,

uh, with the help of a fishing knife.

- (audience laughing) - (laughs)

And, um... (smacks lips) ...you know, she was real smart.

She had... she had big brains, they were delicious.

- (laughs) - (audience laughing)

But, unfortunately I had to dump her the next day,

'cause, uh... the smell was getting pretty bad.

- [Vic] Oh, no. - (audience laughing)

(smacks lisps) I'm... I'm a starving artist,

but, uh, it's people like you guys

- that really fill me up. - (audience laughing)

(groans, sighs) Yeah, so, um...

(smacks lips) You know, I... I gotta admit,

not all my food has been as warm as you guys.

I occasionally enjoy a cold shoulder.

(audience laughing)

(Charlie chuckles)

Anyway, I think that's my time, guys.

- Uh, thank you. Appreciate it. - (audience applauding)

[Juan] Dude, good set.

[Charlie] Thank you man, appreciate that.

- Hey, I'm Carrey. - Charlie.

Charlie, I loved your set.

Was this your first time up?

Yeah, yeah, actually-- Well, I've done it before, but...

- Uh-huh. - ...a little more, uh,

like an intimate thing.

Intimate... I know what you mean.

So, where have you been hiding, huh?

I didn't know standup was so popular here.

Oh! It is the main entertainment out here

in the boonies, let me tell you.

I mean, that and, uh, and meth.

(breathes deeply)

So, I do a show here on Tuesdays,

I'm... (chuckles) ...kind of a producer.

Uh, no big deal.

And maybe you should come by and perform.

Wait, me?

- Yeah. - Shit, yeah.

- Really? - Yeah.

Okay. So, we're tryna fill up this joint with bodies.

So, if you could bring some in, that'd be great.

And bring your A game too,

'cause a lot of competition comes through here, a lot of it.

And yeah, don't forget, your like, um...

I don't know, this... this, uh, getup. (sniffs)

It's great, love it.

Gotcha, man.

- (gentle music playing) - (crickets chirping)

(wolf howling)

[Charlie] I wanted to thank you for your encouragement.

I murdered tonight.

No, no, no, not like that.

I... I meant-- I mean like at... at the club... with my comedy.

Oh, good for you.

Yeah, good for me.

Well, eat up and, uh, you can have a shower.

And I have some women's clothes that might fit you.

Why do you have women's clothing?

They were donated.

(tense music playing)

Okay.

(Charlie grunting) She was pretty, but...

(panting)

...beauty only runs skin deep.

No, I'll... I'll do a...

Yeah. Yeah, beauty only runs skin deep.

It's not what's... it's not what's on the outside,

it's the inside that counts.

Yeah... (laughs)

Yeah, that'll be good, that'll be a good tag.

- (body bag rustling) - (pants)

- What a drag. (chuckles) - (audience laughing)

(Charlie laughs)

- (gentle music playing) - (Charlie grunts softly)

- (grunts softly) - (trunk clinks)

(sighs)

- (body bag rustles) - (Charlie grunts softly)

(sighs)

(breathes heavily)

(sighs)

- (truck tailgate squeaks) - (Charlie sighs)

You wanna come over to my house for dinner tonight?

(smack lips) I mean, do you wanna...

be my dinner tonight?

(audience booing)

(laughs) Oh, no... Oh, not the same attitude, huh?

That's okay. So hey, get this guy a drink, huh?

- (laughing) - (audience applauding)

[Charlie] Oh, yeah, personally, um,

my favorite drink is a Bloody Mary,

uh, minus the Mary, plus the O positive.

(audience booing)

[Charlie] Oh, I... I dated a diabetic, uh, recently.

Little sweet for my taste.

- (audience laughing) - (Eleanor scoffs)

Ah, it's lunchtime! Where is this guy?

[Juan] All right, how you guys doing?

[audience] Yeah!

[Juan] We're out living the dream, doing it.

Let's go dancing.

You guys look like a dancing crowd.

Latinos, when... when we dance,

we got that fucking baby making face on

like we're taking a shit, but it feels good.

- You know what I mean? - (audience laughing)

Like, maybe we put too much Tapatío on that shit.

Ooh... We're in there, right, we're fucking...

Ba-- Latinos fucking basically have sex

while we're dancing. You know what I mean?

That's why we're having all these kids.

(audience laughing)

[Juan] Boom, you know, she's pregnant,

and still fucking dancing, you know what I mean?

She's giving birth... Oh, shit, check this out.

- Oh, fuck yeah. - (audience laughing)

Oh, shit, she's having twins, all right, fuck yeah. (chuckles)

(audience laughing)

[Juan] Uh, that's all my time, guys. Thank you so much.

- (audience applauding) - (body thuds)

- Checking out our display, huh? - (indistinct chatter)

Yeah, got some of the greats here.

Got Don Wrinkles, got Andy Milonakis.

Wow. Oh, you got him in here?

No, no, we didn't get any of these people.

I mean, except for that guy.

This guy right here. Who put that up there?

Seriously?

I got some silly people that work here. I...

It's-- Probably someone else put that there...

But yeah, the greats, kings of comedy.

- Wow. - What do you got here?

[Charlie] Oh, you said you needed bodies.

(leg thuds)

(laughs)

That's good, you're gonna do great.

(body bag rustles)

I watch a lot of YouTube videos

where, like, struggle rappers go up

to famous rappers trying to get signed.

Maybe someone goes up to like a famous rapper.

Like, "Hey, man, can I spit some bars for you, dawg?"

Thanks, man. (chuckles)

[Fanto] He's like, "Yeah, go ahead."

He goes, "Hey man, I used to gang bang,

sell dope, kill the opps. Pop, pop, pop!"

Sometimes they get a feature, sometimes they get signed.

Like, I'm bitter, 'cause like

I can't do that shit as, like, a comic, right?

I can't go up to like a famous comic,

be like, "Hey, man, can I spit something for you?"

He goes, "Yeah, go ahead. Go."

"All right, so like, dating is hard, right?"

(audience laughing)

Like dating... dating is difficult.

[Vic] All right, so are you guys hungry

for some more comedy?

- [woman] Yes! - (audience applauding)

[Vic] Are we in church?

I said, are you hungry for some motherfucking comedy?

(audience cheering)

All right, coming to the stage is our loved one,

Charlie, the Cannibal Comedian!

- (audience cheering) - (Charlie grunts)

[Charlie] Oh, this?

Uh, the promoter told me to bring some bodies in tonight.

(audience laughing)

- (chuckles) - (body thuds)

Oh, whoa. Wow, you guys look great tonight.

I'm getting hungry.

- (audience laughing) - (laughs)

Hey, don't worry about you in the back, all right?

There's always room for second helpings, huh?

(audience laughing)

- What a mouthful. - (audience laughing)

Total narcissist, really into himself.

I mean, he only eats his own flesh.

- (audience laughing) - (chuckles)

Is that too much dead time?

(audience laughing)

Ah, of corpse, you'd like that joke.

(audience laughing)

(audience applauding)

(lights matchstick)

I wanna thank you for joining me

for dinner tonight.

- Did I have a choice? - (laughs) No, not really.

What is it you want from me?

Mm. Well, I don't really know.

(smacks lips) I guess I just like having you around.

But I can't be here any longer.

I've got a life on the outside.

And, like, just let me go, or kill me already.

Don't you dare ruin this dinner!

(shudders)

I worked all day on this, I prepared--

Uh, how... how's your food?

It's been making me ill.

Yeah, well...

that's just 'cause your body's not used to this type of meat.

What is it, roadkill?

Well, for a lack of a better culinary term...

- Yeah. - [Chrystal] Ugh, ugh!

Hey, come on, you know, roadkill, it's...

- it's highly underrated. - [Chrystal] Ugh.

I mean, the hunting's already been done.

I mean, you just pick it up off the ground,

rinse it off, and add some of my famous herbs and spices.

You know, like the Colonel does.

Cover up the burnt tire track flavor, I'm sure.

Okay, I'll... I'll tell you the truth then.

It's not roadkill.

Okay, what is it then?

- (smacks lips) - (ominous music playing)

No. Don't tell me.

You wouldn't! You fucking wouldn't!

But I thought that whole cannibal act was just for show!

- (retches) - (laughs)

- It is roadkill. - (retches, coughs)

(sobs)

(groans, sobs)

(whines, sobs)

[Mindy] I like smoking weed.

I just... I don't feel hot when I'm really high.

Like weed's not the best drug to take to make you feel sexy.

No one's ever been like,

"Oh, you need a confidence boost?"

"Here, try this edible."

"Guys love it when you lose all your motor skills."

[audience member] Yeah, we do. (laughs)

[heckler] I got something for you to eat.

Yeah, what do you have for me to eat?

- A hoagie. - (all laugh)

Are you guys ready for your next comedian?

[audience] Yes.

Everyone welcome to stage, Charlie the Cannibal Comic.

- [man] Whoo. - (audience applauding)

They're fucking awful.

(indistinct chatter)

Hey. Hey... hey y'all.

- How, uh-- - Not funny!

- (all laugh) - [Charlie] Okay, well,

you know, hey, you'd be surprised. It's...

it's... it can get kind of tough doing the, uh,

cannibal comedy thing, you know?

And, uh, I'm getting fed up with you guys.

I'm fed up with bad comedy.

(all laugh)

(grunts)

- Hey, you know... - (mic feedback screeches)

You know, uh--

It's okay, I'll let that one go. You know, um...

Oh, maybe I'll have you over for dinner sometime.

- Eat me! (laughs) - (all laugh)

[heckler] You should be paying me to be here.

(heartbeat thumping)

(all laugh maniacally)

[heckler] You call that comedy?

Jesus Christ, my dead grandmother's funnier than you.

(laughs wickedly)

What fucking kind of comedian are you?

You suck!

I want my money back.

[man] Douche bag.

- (crowd yelling) - (inhales deeply)

(heartbeat intensifying)

(upbeat music playing)

(exhales deeply)

Fucking loser!

Loser!

- (knife clinks) - (groans, chokes)

(audience cheering, applauding)

(labored breathing)

(laughs)

What a loser, pathetic loser, oh, my God.

- (laughs) - (mic feedback screeches)

(heckler laughing)

- (mimic sobs) - He ran off the stage. (laughs)

Like a little girl. (laughs)

All right. (laughs)

Give it up for Charlie, y'all.

(audience applauding)

Uh-huh, yeah, I just died, and not from laughing.

(all laughing)

[Vic] Anyway, coming to the stage

is a house favorite. You know, we all love...

[Mindy] Rough crowd tonight.

- (indistinct chatter) - Yeah.

Lighten up, everyone bombs. In my experience,

if you show any sign of weakness,

they'll immediately pick up on it and they'll pounce.

You become the prey.

You'll learn.

Yeah, it sure is a predator prey thing.

You know, I've got no problem with my victims and, you know,

dragging them around, hanging them,

sawing them from head to groin, fileting them alive...

But up there,

oh, the table is turned.

Yeah, so if you just go up, you know,

every night you'll get better.

Yeah, thanks for the advice.

Do I know you?

This is gonna sound so crazy,

but I feel like we had a class together.

Oh, shit, it's the cannibal guy.

Hey!

That was ten minutes of my life

I'm never gonna get back, you owe me.

(laughs)

- (chuckles) - (scoffs)

What's the matter, bro, can't you take a joke?

Big, dumb, unfunny loser.

- What was that? - (laughs)

You know...

if a cannibal ate a comedian,

that would lead to some pretty funny shit.

(group laughing)

(laughs)

["Friend" by Sean Haitz plays, fades]

(screaming in distance)

["Stranger" by Sean Haitz playing]

(crickets chirping)

♪ We can go, it's not that far ♪

♪ I gave you directions straight to my heart ♪

(chuckles)

Stupid shirt.

(scoffs)

(mocking) "That's ten minutes I'll never get back."

- (fly buzzes) - Who wears yellow, anyway?

♪ She was just a stranger ♪

♪ Passing through town ♪

♪ From the city of angels ♪

♪ Got turned around ♪

Last night was rough.

But that's okay, I got thicker skin now.

- (flesh squeaking) - (audience laughing)

So this killer guy I know asked me to look up this chick.

She had blonde hair, a bunch of tattoos.

- (breathes heavily) - (eerie music playing)

Real pretty.

So I looked up my Facebook...

(audience laughing, applauding)

(audience cheering)

Whoo! Yeah, that was-- Oh.

(mocks) "Don't eat my boyfriend!"

(audience laughing)

I got a like on that one.

- (audience laughing) - Oh...

So this dude I used to know,

uh, he said he was a really smart guy.

He had an education.

Well, when I put him through the meat grinder...

- (machinery grinding) - ...that's when I knew

he was a well grounded individual.

(audience laughing)

(chuckles)

Oh...

Well, speaking of food...

(clicks tongue) ...um, you guys try this...

this new plant-based diet thing, craze?

I don't... I don't know... (splutters)

So I start... I started to eat plant-based.

- I only eat vegans now. - (munches)

(groans softly, spits)

Oh...

God, that really is impossible.

(audience laughing)

Oh, which of course, uh...

of course tastes like annoying.

(audience laughing)

So what's this all about?

Ah. I, uh, made it.

Dude, this looks real.

(Charlie chuckles)

Maybe it is.

(both laugh)

Okay, so...

I mean, where do you live, what do you do?

I feel like I know nothing about you.

Well, I live at the end of the old Desert Road.

[Carrey] Oh, shit, I know that old dirt road.

I used to hear stories about that place

when I was a kid.

- (heartbeat thumping) - (eerie music playing)

The natives would...

cannibalize their... their enemies and...

- (suspenseful music playing) - You know,

I really don't remember, I was like four.

But that place always weirded me out.

The people that lived there are fucking weird, too.

- No offense. - [Charlie] Oh, none taken.

Charlie, you were hilarious tonight,

you kill me!

- Not yet. - (laughs)

Whoo!

People really seem to like

the whole killer cannibal routine.

I mean, it's funny.

[Charlie] Thanks.

Where'd you come up with that?

I didn't come up with it, I live it.

(Carrey laughs) Okay.

Okay, I... I get it, you're crazy.

But for real.

I mean, what do you do for a living

when you're not obviously slaying

and cannibalizing on stage, huh?

[Charlie] I do roadside meatball subs,

little side hustle.

The roadside meatball sub side hustle, yes.

- You get any business? - Yeah, from time to time.

I mean, the locals, they come around all the time.

But, uh, you know, once in a while

I'll catch me some kids

on their way to a music festival,

you know, for a quick bite.

Yeah.

Hey, boss. (mumbles indistinctly)

I gotta go.

- Mm. Later. - [Carrey] Ugh.

Hey, next drink is on me for this guy.

Thank you, man.

(gentle music playing)

[Charlie] "Public cannibalism in Tampa...

suspect shot 18 times...

in the face."

(audience laughing)

Marty, what the hell were you doing in Florida?

(audience laughing, cheering)

Well... little birdie told me

you've been doing standup comedy.

Yeah, so?

[Eleanor] So? You didn't invite us to your show

and you've been telling everybody

about our little secret.

(audience booing)

- [Charlie] That's exactly... - [Eleanor] Stop!

...why I didn't want you guys to see my act.

I knew you'd react this way.

I thought standup comedy was another one

of your crazy obsessions and would pass.

(audience laughing)

Standup comedy, it makes me feel alive.

You know, Jerry Seinfeld,

he once said, "To be successful,

you gotta be a relentless, ruthless person," and that I am.

Who the fuck is Jerry Seinfeld?

- (audience laughing) - One of the greats.

You are an odd duck.

Yeah, but I can still quack you up.

- (Eleanor laughs) - (audience laughing)

Uh, whatever happened

to that pretty little thing, Chrystal?

- She's long gone. - (audience gasping)

I told you, I wanted a taste of her.

- (audience gasping) - [Eleanor] She probably

didn't taste that good anyways.

No. No, she was a real...

bitter bitch.

- (audience laughing) - (Gimp laughs)

[Eleanor] Shut up! Nobody told you to laugh!

Fuck gave you permission? Get back in the car.

- (audience laughing) - (exhales) I hate my neighbors.

(audience laughing)

(audience applauding)

- Hey. - Yeah?

Um, so what's the story with Carrey?

What do you mean?

Like, is he the manager or does he...

does he own the place?

- Yeah, it's his joint now. - (indistinct chatter)

His mom is the one who started it and...

after she died, he... took over.

But, uh, when she was around,

at least this place had a bit of integrity.

What do you mean?

Uh, you didn't hear this from me, but, uh...

some of us around here... (snickers)

...think he might have...

offed her for the club and the money.

You know what's odd?

You know, I had a great set a few weeks back.

Yeah.

Ever since then, it's almost impossible

for me to get any stage time.

Huh, that is odd.

(grunts) Stabbed you in the back!

Hey, uh... Hey, Carrey, how you doing, man?

I'm doing good, man.

Little drinky poo.

- But good. - Yeah.

Yeah, hey, listen, um, I was wondering,

um, do you think I could maybe get some time up there tonight?

(sighs) You should have said you were coming by, Charlie.

We got a packed house tonight...

- (sighs softly) - ...but we'll get you on soon.

- Get you on soon, all right? - Yeah.

[Ryan] I met this guy the other day.

He's like, "Oh, I'm a writer and a director and a producer."

I was like, "Wow, that's amazing."

"Could you produce more breadsticks for our table?"

- (audience laughing) - "'Cause we're fucking out."

Yeah.

Maybe direct some appe-teasers over here?

(crickets chirping)

[Vic] All right, everyone,

the last comic coming to the stage is, uh...

Slappy! Slappy is our last comic for tonight.

But listen, don't worry if you didn't get

to go up tonight, there's always next week.

Give it up for Slappy, everyone.

(audience applauding, cheering)

S... Slappy?

He sucks.

So, uh, you gonna stop killing

now that you a working comedian?

(chainsaw whirring)

(screams)

Ho... ly shit.

Nah.

Well, some of the locals are getting nervous

about your little comedy act.

They don't like you going around

advertising human flesh in public,

bit close to the bone. Well...

I agree with them. (sighs)

I wouldn't worry about it. I mean, it's just an act.

And besides...

they haven't been, uh, putting me up there lately.

- What, you ain't funny enough? - Oh, I'm funny, motherfucker.

It's just... politics or something.

(chuckles softly) Who ain't letting you up?

Carrey, he owns the place,

and, uh, turns out he's a real douche.

You want me to, uh, take him downtown?

(laughs) No, no, it's... it's not that easy.

I mean, without Carrey, there's no standup.

It's his club...

and I don't wanna go back to doing comedy for my guests.

Yeah, they laugh, but I think it's just

to avoid me sawing their faces off.

You ever think about expanding your menu?

Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm.

(thumping)

Hey, hey, hey, what's with the banging?

You haven't fed me yet!

Oh, I'm sorry, my life's been a little hectic lately.

Now, they... they stopped putting me

they stopped putting me on stage at the club.

Why, did you talk to them about it?

Yeah. (sighs) But, uh...

I don't know, I don't... I don't know what to do.

Should get in their face and demand stage time,

don't be a pussy.

Okay.

Yeah, okay. Um... still craving the meat?

I'm starving, I'll eat anything.

(sighs) That's the best thing I've heard all day.

You know, they said you had to be born into cannibalism.

I didn't think that was the case. (chuckles)

I mean, yeah, sure, I've had some,

you know, they... they eat it, they get sick, they die.

But, uh, I knew I could turn someone onto this.

You used me as a Guinea pig?

Guinea pig.

Wow, that was a long time ago.

- (gentle music playing) - Little old Mr. Muffy.

Yeah. Killed him, cooked him. My first culinary experience.

You were an only child, by chance?

(munches)

Did you know that, uh, Friends was filmed in front

of a live studio audience, who knew?

Hey, boss, here go the comics for this week.

There it is.

Hey, Carrey!

Oh, hey Charlie, we were just talking about you.

- [Charlie] Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

[Charlie] Yeah, when am I gonna get back up there?

What are you talking about?

Weren't you up there the... the other night?

[Charlie] No, it's been like forever.

Oh, well, we gotta get you up then.

Yeah, so what about tonight?

(tense music playing)

Tonight's booked up.

Yeah. So when then?

When I feel like it.

I'm getting a little sick of waiting.

And I'm getting tired of your attitude.

[Charlie] You know, when I was up there

you know, they really liked my act.

Yeah, I know,

I also know you're getting kind of a big head about it too.

And I don't like people that think their shit don't stink.

I don't think that at all, I just wanna do my act.

(mocks) "I just wanna do my act!"

"I'm a fucking artist!"

Think of this as one big audition, okay?

And at the end of it, you just didn't make the cut.

- Really? - [Carrey] Really.

The club's going in a new direction.

And your brand of comedy just it,

ah, it just doesn't fit.

It's... it's this cannibal thing,

it's just kind of stupid.

And that apron, just hang it up.

You don't wanna put your foot in your mouth.

(sighs)

Whoa. (laughs)

(door slams)

(tense music playing)

I should've never listened to you.

Now I am not allowed to step foot in that club again.

My career's over.

(chains rattles)

I was only trying to help.

What happened?

I... I asked Carrey...

(sniffles) ...why he wouldn't let me up anymore.

And he just said...

the... the club doesn't want my act.

(sobs)

He... he said they... they think cannibals are stupid.

(sighs, smack lips) Hey.

I think cannibals are cool. And...

I love your jokes.

Your act's original, unique.

Shit, I wish I would've thought of it.

I need to reevaluate my career...

and my life options. (sighs)

Don't let that stop you, this is just a setback.

A true artist never gives up.

(sighs)

(dramatic music playing)

Hey, man, look--

What's up?

You really gonna steal Charlie's cannibal act?

Would you keep your voice down.

- (sighs) - Who told you?

This is a small club

and the other comics are talking.

- I'm just saying. - What's it matter to you?

Charlie has fans,

and they're gonna know you stole his act.

Do you think I'm a fucking moron?

- Well? - Well what?

Do you think I'm a fucking moron?

Of course not, Carrey,

- I'm just try-- - Okay, then make sure

these comics are in check or it's your ass.

Guys are sounding like a bunch

of schoolgirls on their periods.

Okay, boss, I'll... I'll get right on it.

Oh, and I'm taking the show on the road.

No one outside the club knows about this.

Okay.

Smart.

(door shuts)

[Juan] Oh, hey, hey, sir, we're not quite open yet, uh...

Come back around seven--

Oh, all right, what's your poison?

Hey, how's it going, folks?

I am Carrey, the first ever Cannibal Comic.

And I'm also, fun fact, the owner of this place.

So if any future comics wanna be on this stage,

it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg. (laughs)

(scoffs)

Uh, who am I kidding? I butchered that joke.

- [Vic] Yeah. - Whoa! 'ho 'ho 'ho 'ho!

Whoa!

I got you, that was... that was real.

- [Vic] Oh, man. - Oh, come on,

gimme a hand, will you?

Whoa, hey!

Unfortunately,

I had a victim that got away from me.

[Vic] Mm.

Then I later found out that she hung herself.

Ugh. Yeah, I read about it in Noose Weekly.

(all laugh)

The newspaper that reports on people that hang themselves!

[all laugh]

[Carrey] All right guys, well that is my time.

Thank you for coming out. Four drink minimum.

(telephone ringing)

(telephone ringing)

Hello?

[Weaver] That club owner guy, Carrey,

he's doing your act.

Wait, what... what... what did you say?

Oh, I was just down at the club and he's doing cannibal jokes.

The asshole even had a bloody apron. (laughs)

Are you jerking off?

(Weaver snorting)

(grunts)

(exhales)

(gentle music playing)

(phone dings)

[Charlie] Fuck!

[Director] This is Carrey commercial B, take number two.

(slate claps)

Let me axe you a question, does comedy make you laugh?

It should, so you should come down to The Funny Pit,

where tickets are still free

with the purchase of a four-drink minimum.

And you'll get to see me, Carrey,

the original cannibal comedian, the first one ever.

No one else has ever done it before.

And we are still located in the middle of the desert.

How convenient!

And if you can't make it at that, guess what?

I'm going on tour,

and I put my whole heart into it.

Well, someone's. (laughs)

Come on down, now.

- Dude, I slayed tonight... - (laughs)

- murdered! - (laughs) Yeah, man,

I guess you could say there were, uh,

- no axe-cidents! - (Vic laughs)

You crazy, boss, you crazy. Look, here go the keys.

Uh, the building is locked up,

- I'm out, peace out. - All right.

All right, see you later, man. (laughs)

(villagers chanting)

(Charlie breathing heavily)

(axe clinks)

(western music playing)

Charlie?

No. Hey, Charlie, is that you?

Hello?

Why you acting all weird and shit?

Didn't I tell you not to come around here, man?

Damn.

Hey!

Okay, Pleatherface, really scary.

(metal scraping)

- (Charlie breathes heavily) - (metal scraping)

[Carrey] Wow.

Dramatic.

Fucking weirdo.

Stop doing that!

Oh, shit, shit. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

(tense music continues)

(gasps, groans)

Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

(groans)

- (blood splashing) - (Carrey groans)

(groans)

(grunts)

(groans)

- (truck tailgate opening) - (body thuds)

(Carrey whimpering)

(truck tailgate shuts)

(blood squelching)

(eerie music playing)

(Charlie sighs)

(inhales, clears throat)

- (mic feedback screeches) - Wake up, sleepy head.

Oh, and you!

(sighs) You're always in my way.

(breathes deeply)

- Holy shit. - Well, Carrey, it's official.

You're a certified schmuck, you know that?

It's true, huh?

You... you really are...

are a cannibal, huh? I don't believe it.

[Charlie] Oh, oh, believe it, bud.

- Well, I don't. - [Charlie] Because, uh,

I've been thinking of what I'm gonna do to you

and, uh-- (inhales)

I dunno, maybe use your skin as a...

as a lampshade, you know, to lighten up my life.

A cannibal joke, yeah.

(scoffs) Listen, man, if this is about... this...

if this is about stage time, I... I... we could fix that.

I could give you more stage time.

I mean-- Hell, I could give you the whole club.

What... what if we... Hey, what if we called it

the... (hesitates)

Ch... Charlie's Comedy Club?

That has a ring to it, does to me.

You know, you'd do something like that for me?

Oh, yeah!

I mean, as long as we agree,

you're not gonna eat me or something like that.

(laughs)

Carrey, I'm not gonna eat you.

I don't eat rotten people.

Wait... wait, what--

Who, who said I was rotten?

Wait, you... you think I'm rotten?

(Charlie chuckles, inhales sharply)

I'm gonna enjoy this.

[Carrey] Ah. Fuck.

Ugh.

(groans) Ah.

Ugh.

[Charlie] Hmm...

["Summertime Love" by "Rockin" Rick Haitz playing]

Oh, this is a great song, you heard this one?

No, no, come on.

Don't be rude now, yes or no, no?

(laughs)

(sighs) It's funny, you know, this artist,

he actually stole this from somebody else.

Yeah, yeah, apparently made a fortune off of it.

God, who does that remind you of?

Hang on!

You don't wanna put your foot in your mouth... (chuckles)

[Carrey] Oh, no, no, no, I--

Allow me.

- [Carrey] Please, st-- - (Charlie laughs)

- (wheezing, spits) - [Charlie] Oh.

(coughs)

I guess you don't like eating your own words, do you?

[Carrey] Fuck...

Well, you know what I like to say?

Five second rule.

- (munches) - Ugh.

Mm. (munches) I tell you,

with the music and this,

and you, it's like a, what a toe jam!

- (chuckles) - Please stop...

with all the cannibal jokes!

- (song stops playing) - [Charlie] Cannibal jokes...

(tense music playing)

You know, being a cannibal, you think it's a joke?

You think being a cannibal is a joke?

You know, this is my life!

You know, you think you could just take people's things?

You could take people's lives?

You can't take someone else's material!

You want my life, you want this?

Take me for everything I got?

Okay, I... I... it's... it's clear you're upset

and I'll stop taking all the cannibal jokes.

Can I trust you? Can I take your word on that?

Trust me, I will leave, I will go off to some...

Uh... beach resort on an island somewhere, all inclusive.

You'll never hear from me again, okay?

It's too late for that, Carrey.

[Carrey] Listen here, motherfucker,

don't get it twisted!

Who else do you think would put your creepy face on stage?

Who else do you think would actually

give you any stage time?

(heartbeat slows down)

The same cannibal joke over and over again.

Oh, it's another pun!

Hilarious! Oh, it's hilarious!

Oh, I got thicker skin this time.

Oh, that's hilarious. [laughs]

Oh, it's so funny.

You're one note.

You go in with the same material over and over.

(chuckles)

Look, man, I don't know how you did it,

but... (laughs) ...you're a has been,

and you haven't even been famous yet!

(pants)

You...

you just... you wait right here!

You wait right here...

I'm sorry...

Hey!

Hey...

It's better to be a has been than never was.

[Charlie] Chrystal!

(exhales) Chrystal...

- Huh? - (Charlie pants)

Oh, my God...

I, uh, I gotta talk to you.

(upbeat music playing)

- Hmm, what's wrong, sweetheart? - (grunts)

(audience cheering, applauding)

(audience screaming)

(dramatic piano music playing)

(groans)

(breathes heavily)

Huh...

(sighs)

(breathes deeply)

(sighs)

(audience laughing)

(tape warps)

[Chrystal] Hello, Charlie.

It's your favorite captive, Chrystal.

- (laughing maniacally) - (Charlie groans)

[Chrystal] I bet you're not feeling real great.

- I reckon you had it coming. - (groans)

[Chrystal] You got careless and really underestimated me.

You don't know who you're messing with!

I know we had something special between us.

We both share that hunger for the spotlight

and I've worked up a very different appetite,

thanks to you.

(bones crack)

(Chrystal sighs) Maybe we'll meet again,

one day, in another life.

Just know your act is in better hands now.

(groans)

- [Charlie] Chrystal... - [Chrystal] Oh,

and sorry for recording over your favorite comedy tape.

- No... (groans) - [Chrystal] Gotta go.

Bye, sweetie.

- (tape warps) - Chrystal...

(audience laughing)

- (audience booing) - What? Why?

Chrystal!

(echoes) Chrystal!

(gentle music playing)

[Charlie] Chrystal! (echoes)

[Vic] All right, everyone, and now, under new management,

boys, eat your hearts out, eat your hearts out!

Coming to the stage is the very funny

and desirable, which means she fine,

Chrystal the Cannibal Comic!

- Give it to her, y'all. - (audience cheering)

See, she fine.

(upbeat music playing)

[Chrystal] You ever been up late at night,

with the munchies, and you just wanna snack?

[man] Yeah.

(Chrystal groans)

I'll be damned if I know where to find

jalapeño-flavored babies at 3:00 AM.

(audience laughing)

(laughs maniacally)

(tense music playing)

I was with this waitress the other night.

She asked me, "Do cannibals eat ya whole?"

I said, "No!"

"We spit that part out when we get to it."

(audience laughing)

[Chrystal] Tastes like shit.

She asked if she could go down on me.

(audience hooting)

Mm-hmm...

I said, "Sure, can I go first?"

(audience exclaiming)

I got a little carried away...

Mm.

(audience gasping, applauding)

All that's left is her wedding ring.

(audience gasping)

Hey, I thought it was an all-you-can-eat deal.

(audience laughing)

(tense music playing)

Hey, I'm Chrystal, the Cannibal Comedian.

And if anybody tells you cannibals ain't funny,

well they can eat me!
