Dying Laughing

Dying Laughing offers a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of stand-up comedians, exploring where they find their inspiration and how not every night is a good one, no matter how experienced a comedian may be.

Featuring some of the funniest stand-up performers, including Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Sarah Silverman, the documentary provides a wealth of candid interviews in which these comedy greats, along with many others, offer insight into their careers. Living for the laughs rather than just the money is presented as a driving force for most of these comedians.

However, drawing laughter from a crowd is not as easy as it may seem, and these comedy professionals share their struggles to make a name for themselves, often using self-deprecating stories and learning to laugh at themselves. The film delves into the serious side of building a career in stand-up comedy.
