The first feature film to explore in depth the transformative impact of LGBT+ stand-up
Through interviews, memorable stand-up moments and behind-the-scenes footage, it highlights how queer comedians, with their talent and courage, have helped change attitudes and shape contemporary culture. It also analyzes the importance of LGBT+ stand-up as a vehicle for social transformation. The film traces the evolution of queer stand-up and its crucial role in challenging cultural norms and values.
Using a combination of interviews, archival footage and behind-the-scenes footage, the documentary features renowned comedians such as Lily Tomlin, Sandra Bernhard, Wanda Sykes, Eddie Izzard, Hannah Gadsby, Tig Notaro, Rosie O’Donnell, Margaret Cho, Bob The Drag Queen and Trixie Mattel. The film shows how, joke after joke, these artists used their humor to provoke discussion, break stereotypes and influence society.
