For Madmen Only: The Stories of Del Close is a 2020 comedy-documentary hybrid film about comedian Del Close (1934–1999), who coached many of the best-known comedians and comic actors of the late twentieth century.[1] Its stories are drawn in part from Wasteland, an autobiographical horror comic co-written by Close and John Ostrander and published by DC Comics (1987–89).[2] Directed by Heather Ross, the film stars James Urbaniak (as Close), Patton Oswalt, Bob Odenkirk, Jason Sudeikis, Matt Walsh, Josh Fadem, and Lauren Lapkus.[3] It premiered at SXSW in 2021.[4] The Hollywood Reporter called it "a funny and poignant look at a man to whom comedy nerds owe an incalculable debt."[4]
