IKE BARINHOLTZ is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after comedians, writers and actors in the comedy world. Barinholtz is the Writer/Director of upcoming political comedy The Oath, and was recently seen in Blockers, alongside John Cena and Leslie Mann; Bright, with Will Smith; and Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House, opposite Liam Neeson.

Barinholtz may be best known for his role as Morgan on Hulu’s “The Mindy Project.”  To his credit, Barinholtz also served as a writer and producer on the show. In his latest comedy project, “The Oath,” the writer, producer, actor dives into the divisive times of our current political climate. Read more about this film written by and starring Barinholtz and Tiffany Haddish.

SHORT SYNOPSIS
From the producers of GET OUT & BLACKkKLANSMAN comes a raw and riotous political comedy for divisive times.
A controversial White House policy turns family member against family member in The Oath, a savagely funny dark comedy about surviving life and Thanksgiving in the age of political tribalism. When Chris (Ike Barinholtz), a high-strung 24-hour progressive news junkie, and his more levelheaded wife Kai (Tiffany Haddish) learn that citizens are being asked to sign a loyalty oath to the President, their reaction is disbelief, followed by idealistic refusal. But as the post-Thanksgiving deadline to sign approaches, the combination of sparring relatives, Chris’s growing agitation and the unexpected arrival of two government agents (John Cho and Billy Magnussen) sends an already tense family gathering completely off the rails. As timely as it is outrageous, The Oath is a gleefully wicked sharp-witted reinvention of the traditional holiday comedy for our divisive political times.
