Andy Kaufman is one of the most influential entertainers/performance artists of the American 20th century. Whether delighting club audiences with his Foreign Man character or infuriating them with a live reading of the entirety of The Great Gatsby, Andy was a self-described “song and dance man” who would entertain by pushing the limits of performance, and without ever telling a joke. With the help of Andy’s friends, lovers, co-conspirators, and official collaborators, this documentary looks back at Andy’s performances, the complicated life that inspired them, and searches for the truth about the enigmatic man who gave birth to modern comedy.
