The Brush

The Brush

Incidental Films LLCProfessional company

The Brush tells the story of how I tried to keep up with a pack of feral British comedians at Russell Howard's 2019 Las Vegas bachelor party (you call it a 'stag do'), nearly died in the process and had an existential crisis that led me to question the meaning of life, emojis, regret, failure, proper urinal protocol and the exquisite sadism that is the American healthcare system. Part confession, part apology, part love letter to life, The Brush is a bittersweet, darkly humorous reflection on friendship, middle-aged ennui and the quantum nature of the universe.
