In this hyper-intelligent comedy, a journeyman comedian (Henry Phillips) is lured to L.A. by a TV producer (J.K. Simmons, “Whiplash”) who wants to make him a reality star. As reality sets in, he must decide whether his legacy will be to tell jokes for a living or become the butt of them. With an all-star cast including Sarah Silverman, Tig Notaro, Jim Jefferies, Doug Stanhope, and more, “Punching Henry” is a hilarious and heartwarming glimpse behind the curtain at the weird world of comedy.

Simmons, with appearances by Al Madrigal, Doug Stanhope, Mike Judge, Ashley Johnson, Myq Kaplan, Matt Kirshen, Michaela Watkins, Chris Fairbanks, Angela Trimbur, Brendon Walsh, and Nikki Glaser.
