The laughing club
Project Overview
Here’s a concise and engaging description of The Laughing Club tailored for a casting call or production listing:
The Laughing Club – Indie Series Casting CallGenre: Psychological Thriller / Dark Comedy
Setting: 1920s New York City
Logline:
When a washed-up vaudeville comedian reunites with his childhood friend — a psychiatrist trying to keep his life in order — the two are pulled into the bizarre world of underground “laughing clubs,” secret gatherings where laughter becomes ritual, obsession, and possibly madness.
About the Project:
The Laughing Club is a stylized, character-driven indie series blending vintage aesthetics, psychological tension, and absurdist humor. Think The Lighthouse meets Hazbin Hotel by way of Cabaret — exploring art, sanity, and the terrifying joy of losing control.
Tone:
Darkly whimsical, theatrical, and unnervingly funny. The world feels like it’s always one bad joke away from falling apart.
