Solved Mysteries

Alex Malt projects the jittery reserve of an accountant who wandered onto a comedy club stage, using that stiff posture to recount life unraveling in awkward increments. The strongest bit hinges on the misfortune of sharing an Amazon Kindle account with his mother, which lets him monitor her reading progress in cowboy romance novels while pitying his father, an unathletic Jewish lawyer.

Released by Comedy Dynamics in July 2025 and directed by Mardana Mayginnes, Solved Mysteries runs 55 minutes and serves as Malt’s debut hour. Malt spent over a decade working Los Angeles rooms and directing independent shorts before compiling this set about rehab, marriage, and panic disorders. It arrived on on-demand platforms with little fanfare and virtually no critical notice.
