Dying Laughing is a candid look inside the complicated and fascinating lives of some of the world’s greatest stand-up comedians. A beautiful, moving, funny and unique feature length documentary on the agony and the ecstasy of making people laugh. A stand-up comedian must be the writer, the director and the star performer, and unlike any other art form there is no rehearsal, no practice, no safety net as stand-up only works in front of a live audience – with feedback being instantaneous and often brutal. For most people baring their soul on stage and having an audience boo would be a life-changing trauma, for stand-ups it’s a nightly challenge. Revealing original interviews are interlaced with stunning footage of life on the road, the comedy clubs and seeing the world from a comedian's point of view. Love them or hate them, you will never look at a stand-up comedian the same way after seeing this extraordinary film.
