Short synopsis:

Everybody has had annoying neighbors, but Raymond Huffman, a short-tempered homophobe, and Peter Haskett, a cocky homosexual – both alcoholics – are in a league of their own. The two roommates terrorize their neighbors with aggressive yelling and loud insults day in and out. Two college students start to record them and create an 80s pop culture phenomenon, by accident. The viral medium isn't YouTube; instead tapes get passed around between friends. The audio recordings of Peter and Raymond are broadcast on the radio, performed in theater plays and used in comic books. The two of them are famous and, at the same time, the only ones that don't know anything about it. 

Why this comedy matters:
SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! lets the audience participate in its voyeuristic pleasure, but also explores (self-)critical questions about the limits of fun and art. Where does creative freedom end? Where do you start to the violate personal rights and privacy? And what happens when, all of a sudden, there is the opportunity to make money from a little prank?
