Inside Jokes

I highly recommend this show. The talented Mr. Berkeley continues to deliver. A true behind the scenes look at what it takes to make it or not in the world of comedy.

We usually like comedy "competitions" so tried this. Got through about 5 minutes ... gay jokes, jokes about various, dare I say, unconventional sex acts. This should come with a warning: Not For Those With Any Taste.

I didn't laugh once and I'm really wondering how on earth these comics ever even got a show. It's just so unfunny. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a joke that these people are trying to be comics. This was highlighted when the gay Gent (whose every joke was about being gay or mentioned being gay) said "I don't know want to be known as the gay comedian, I want to be known as a comedian who happens to be gay"

Don't waste your time with this.

I watched this documentary because the Rosebud Baker told me to. I love her podcast Two Less Lonely Girls. She is so weird and dark and wonderful. Her outlook on life is actually inspiring. This documentary made me look at the art of stand up a lot differently. These comedians are so passionate and proud to get to this comedy festival in Montreal. It made me really appreciate the art form. Also now I have found new comedians to look into! If you listen to comedy podcasts and watch stand up specials like me, I believe this documentary will be enjoyable for you! Thanks for this documentary I had a good time watching it.

Behind the scenes realism of comics trying to get into "JFL" Montréal's just for laughs festival new comic showcase. The editor shows the festival judges taking themselves way too seriously and the least funny sets I have ever seen. Not flattering for either party and an overall very bleak view of trying to make it. I don't understand these choices.
