Great Trailer For Documentary ANXIETY CLUB Explores the Cross Section Between Anxiety and Comedy
A great trailer has been released for the documentary feature Anxiety Club, which explores anxiety within the comedy community. It features interviews, stand-up, and even therapy sessions with comedians Tiffany Jenkins, Joe List, Marc Maron, Aparna Nancherla, Mark Normand, Baron Vaughn, and Eva Victor. The doc is directed by Wendy Lobel (Bold Visions: Women in Science & Technology).
The synopsis reads: “Anxiety Club provides an intimate and humorous look at anxiety through the eyes & minds of some of the most brilliant comedians today. Marc Maron, Tiffany Jenkins, Baron Vaughn, Aparna Nancherla, Mark Normand, Eva Victor, and Joe List offer candid reflections on their relationship with anxiety in exclusive interviews, standup performances, sketch videos, therapy sessions, and everyday life.
“With rare access to private therapy sessions, the film follows comedian Tiffany Jenkins (a content creator with over 9 million followers) as she undergoes behavioral therapy, capturing the profound changes her treatment brings about.
“Others find support in alternative sources, such as world-renowned meditation expert Tara Brach, PhD, or the psychologist-in-residence at The Laugh Factory, or other mentors in the comedy community.”
This looks like a great watch. We’ve all been touched by anxiety in one way or another, and I like looking at it through the perspective of comedy.
Check out the trailer below, and watch Anxiety Club when it’s released on the streaming service Jolt on August 15th.
