DYING LAUGHING

OUT 16 JUNE

There’s nothing radical about this comedy doc’s talking-head format, but it’s a sharply edited masterclass with a formidable roll call: Seinfeld, Silverman, Rock, Coogan, dozens more. Their insights into the process and psychology of making audiences laugh offer a rare glimpse behind the mic – but it’s also proof, via hilarious tales of dealing with hecklers, that some people can’t help being funny.
