Hysterical
Stand-up comedy had always been a male domain. After decades of fighting for the spotlight, things have finally shifted. HYSTERICAL, a feature documentary from director Andrea Nevins, explores female comics' hard-fought journey to become the voices of their generation and gender. The film is an intimate look into the lives of the ground-breaking women shattering comedy’s glass ceiling with raucous laughter and perfectly timed punch lines. Featuring Margaret Cho, Fortune Feimster, Rachel Feinstein, Marina Franklin, Nikki Glaser, Judy Gold, Kathy Griffin, Jessica Kirson, Sherri Shepherd, Iliza Shlesinger and more. Produced by Campfire, HYSTERICAL premieres April 2nd at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
