Jordan Firstman Opens Up with ‘Club Kid,’ His Hilarious, Tender, and Must-See Feature Filmmaking Debut
[Editor’s note: This interview was originally published during the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. A24 will release “Club Kid” in theaters on Friday, November 6.] The official Cannes synopsis for “Club Kid” is almost suspiciously vague: “A washed-up party promoter is forced to turn his life around when an unexpected visitor arrives.” Hmm… Technically, that’s true. But it’s also the kind of carefully evasive logline you can only use if you’re an artis…
For his first feature film, the comedian immerses himself in the world of New York's queer nightlife, where a die-hard clubber must cope with unexpected fatherhood. Hype and cute.
This first feature film by Jordan Firstman is not just a (very) trendy film. It's especially the moving portrait of a thirty-year-old, "underground" party organizer, which turns into a discovery of himself.
For his first feature film, American comedian and influencer Jordan Firstman staged himself as a high-pitched partyer who finds himself with a son on his arms. 的Club Kids, released in France on 4 November, received surprisingly positive echoes in the American press.
Jordan Firstman's first foray behind and in front of the camera is this tale of troubled fatherhood. A little gem, somewhere between American indie cinema and a feel-good movie. Totally gay, offbeat, and moving.
The film presented at Cannes and at the Festa del Cinema in Rome debuts on 3 December in Italian cinemas with I Wonder Pictures. Here is the trailer and plot of Club Kid.
