Ape is a 2012 American independent black comedy film written and directed by Joel Potrykus, starring Joshua Burge as Trevor Newandyke.[1] The film was a precursor to Potrykus's later film, Buzzard, which also starred Burge.
A black comedy and rage fantasy, the film follows failing stand-up comic Trevor as he suffers one humiliation after another, both on stage and off. His only outlet is a secret pyromania on display at home and in public.[2] His anger hits the streets after making a deal with a man dressed as the Devil.[3]
