Robert Johnson and the Devil Man (2017)

Overview

It's said that Robert Johnson, one of the most influential, pioneering musicians in history, met the Devil at a crossroads at midnight and sold his soul to be the greatest there's ever been. A century later a hapless millennial of the same name attempts to follow in the footsteps of his namesake and not only does he find the myth to be real, but the parameters of becoming the best not as straightforward as he might have hoped. Written by and starring Joz Norris and directed by Matthew Highton (two award winning comedians and founding members of the critically lauded, alternative comedy groups, Weirdos Comedy Club and Comedians Cinema Club), this is a sweet, absurd take on one of the most famous legends in music history. Also starring David Mills (Florence Foster Jenkins) in the role he was born to play, the Devil.
