We saw this film in NYC and thoroughly enjoyed it . You'll find that In this day and age of 'fake news' and sadly fake presidents, it is truly spot on ! The images will remain in your head as you look around at our so called 'Real World". The Art of The Prank is from the brilliant and somewhat skewed mind of Joey Skaggs. Don't miss it.

Brilliant and Entertaining!
Hilarious Takedown of Culture and Media
Hilarious takedown of the culture and media. Original, witty and not to be missed!! From the cathouse for dogs, to the cockroach cure for everything, to the fat squad, this film satirizes the culture. It's amazing how ahead of his time Joey Skaggs has been, and how he continues to come up with new and piercing critiques.
Brilliant Doc on Performance Artist/Media Prankster Joey Skaggs with haunting message
Watching the Art of the Prank was a totally joy inducing experience. Marini takes us through 30+ years of the career and times of Joey Skaggs, performance artist, provocateur, culture jammer, and media hoax extraordinaire, in what is a fascinating study of not only Mr. Skaggs artistry but also a haunting look at how our current systems of information are warped and easily manipulated. While this documentary is a highly entertaining journey about the life and art of Joey Skaggs, more aptly it reflects how broken and unreliably modern media outlets are. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Highly recommend it. I laughed, I cried. It was better than "Cats".
