Shakes the Clown

Comedian Bobcat Goldthwait (Scrooged) wrote, directed and stars in this minor cult favorite about the trials of an alcoholic clown trying to make it in the cruel show business world of Palookaville, U.S.A. In between beating up mimes and escaping from brutal rodeo clowns, Shakes (Goldthwaite) gets framed for the murder of his boss. Comedienne Julie Brown plays Shakes's girlfriend. Look for Robin Williams and Adam Sandler in cameos.
