The People’s Joker is back at The Frida, and this time we’ve got a very special treat for you: writer/director Vera Drew is joining us in-person for a Q&A after the film moderated by Louise Weard, director of the Castration Movie Anthology!

Set in a dystopian Gotham City, the film follows Vera, played by Drew herself, who aspires to become the first openly trans comedian. Struggling with oppressive societal norms and personal demons, Vera undergoes a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Infused with dark humor, surreal visuals, and a satirical edge, “The People’s Joker” challenges traditional narratives and delivers a poignant message about authenticity and resilience.
