Release

The documentary premiered at the 2016 Los Angeles Film Festival in Culver City, California.[1] It was later released for wider audiences on February 24, 2017.[2]

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 82% based on 22 reviews, with an average rating of 6.30 out of 10.[3]

For The Guardian, Gwilym Mumford gave the documentary a 3 out of 5, stating, "the endless conveyor belt of talking heads does rather lose its lustre over time, and some actual standup would've been welcome, but there's a real dizzying amount of insight, not to mention a real poignancy to some of the contributors".[4]
