To put it plainly, I’m not typically a fan of stand-up comedy, but Lobel’s movie managed to draw me in deeply to the stories shared by the comedians. The lineup includes Tiffany Jenkins, Marc Maron, Joe List, Aparna Nancherla, Mark Normand, Baron Vaughn, and Eva Victor. Each contributes their unique brand of humor to the film. However, what truly resonated was when they opened up about their personal struggles with anxiety.
