About Beyond a Joke
Comedian Adam Rowe sets out to explore the question: what is the role of comedy in today’s increasingly divided, febrile and hostile world? In order to answer this, he is tasked to explore the controversial subject of Cultural Appropriation and then deliver a brand new stand-up comedy routine about it to an audience who have been affected by it.
Directed by Nicholas Ahlmark, Beyond a Joke leans on a strong ensemble — Adam Rowe, Eshaan Akbar, Kemah Bob — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2023.

7.0Call Me Lucky
2015 7.0
An inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of one of comedy’s most enigmatic and important figures, CALL ME LUCKY tells the story of Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, politically outspoken and whip-smart comic whose efforts in the 70s and 80s fostered the talents of the next generation of standup comedians. But beneath Crimmins’ gruff, hard-drinking, curmudgeonly persona lay an undercurrent of rage stemming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child – a rage that eventually found its way out of the comedy clubs and television shows and into the political arena.
