It was one of the 19 feature films selected for what is one of the largest comedy festivals in the USA, featuring film, live comedy acts and a screenplay competition. The festival runs from the 23rd of April to the 6th of May with all film screenings and live shows taking place at the Let Live Theatre in the heart of Hollywood.
‘Jack and Ralph Plan a Murder’ is an independent, Irish, gross-out comedy about a man called Jack who is bullied at work and plots the murder of his bully with an imaginary friend called Ralph. The feature is written, produced by and stars Jeff Doyle.
Doyle says, “I am genuinely delighted that ‘Jack and Ralph Plan a Murder’ is premiering at the LA comedy Festival, America’s biggest comedy festival. The film was made just over a year ago and to be having its premiere in Hollywood, Los Angeles, is awesome.”
