A humorless loner (Kentucker Audley) attempts to win the admiration of a drifter with his debut performance at the local comedy club.

This fiercely empathetic examination of pathological loneliness is the debut feature from indie auteur Dustin Guy Defa (Person to Person). Featuring a remarkable lead performance from Kentucker Audley as an aspiring stand-up comedian, Bad Fever is a prickly yet poignant study in social anxiety.
