Ape

Struggling comedian Trevor Newandyke not only bombs on stage, but he ignites bombs offstage as a pyromaniac frustrated with the barrage of static surrounding him. He's fed up with the threats from the cable company, 7-11 raising the price of Slurpees, and all the jerks who think they can push him around. He turns to the din of his headphones and the crackling glow of fire to ease his mind. After a typical night disappointing the crowd, Trevor finds that one of his jokes comes to life. A fruit salesman posing as the Devil, or vice versa, strikes a bargain with him: a golden apple for a joke. Trevor sees the apple as a magical force. Eating it gives him the power to get angry and fight back. Of course, deals with the Devil never turn out well.
