Entertainment is a 2015 American drama film directed by Rick Alverson, starring Gregg Turkington, Tye Sheridan, and John C. Reilly.

After touring an aircraft boneyard in the California desert, The Comedian performs a stand-up routine in character to an audience of prisoners following a clown act by "Eddie the Opener".

After the show The Comedian's cousin John converses about the unenthusiastic audience while passively criticizing the distastefulness of his routine.

The next day The Comedian goes to a bowling alley then a shooting park before crashing a chromotherapy seminar and falling asleep in the midst of it.

The show goes badly and the comedian aims vulgar insults at a woman, who throws a drink at him before leaving the bar, then assaults him as he is walking to his car.

He hits a dog on the road and, in a public bathroom, a stranger named Tommy says his car has broken down and asks The Comedian to keep him company while he waits for help.

As he wades to the edge, images appear of him dripping wet on stage, wearing the same white outfit seen before, and exiting a jail cell.

[3] Alverson proposed to Turkington the idea of making a film based on his character Neil Hamburger.

Turkington described the dialogue as "really more based on descriptions of the tone or the mood that was needed in particular scenes, and kind of running with that.

[3] Alverson felt the film wouldn't be credible if Turkington constantly spoke in his Neil Hamburger voice.

"[6] Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score, gave the film a 65 out of 100 based on thirteen reviews from critics.

[7] In The New Yorker, critic Richard Brody calls Turkington's character an "intentionally, repulsively unfunny comedian" and Alverson's film a "wildly imaginative, grimly sardonic anti-comedy.
