The Dark Backward

A struggling stand-up comic, supported by his garbage collector friend, attempts to make a name for himself. Despite his friend's unwavering encouragement and accordion accompaniment, his comedic talent is severely lacking. When an unexpected third arm sprouts from his back, the friend seizes the opportunity to pitch him to a dubious talent agent, believing fame is finally within reach. As his career starts to take off, the comic's personal life crumbles, particularly after his girlfriend walks out on him, leaving him to navigate the bizarre intersection of success and loneliness.
