Product Description
In 1986 Eric Bogosian brought the first of his solos, "Funhouse", to Los Angeles for an eight week run at the Matrix Theater. This is early Bogosian in all his sweaty, maddened glory. Before "Talk Radio", before "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll", before he became such a big deal. This is Bogosian at his best, as the desperate, hungry performer. Directed by Jo Bonney. Color, 80 minutes.
