Inside Jokes

Inside Joke delivers all the way through. It was so interesting to hear each comedian's origin story and unique style, and see how they'll slightly tweak jokes each time they tell them. Every comedian was interesting and funny but one really stood out to me, Simon Gibson. He is a true artist and was so funny that I was crying from laughing so hard.

Being a practicing stand up comic myself I understand the effort and time and the patience that goes into making people laugh and still being yourself. Simon Gibson got in, he's tough to watch. Daphnique Springs is straight up shrill I would get up the chair of the place she's performing. It's only 2 or 3 people who have a style of their own and are utterly impressive. Overall this show is an okayish watch. As an audience member, you might not feel all that engaged but if you're into doing comedy, empathy is all you got for these guys.

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.

This is the perfect reality show, cause it fairly accurately shows real people in their version of reality. No one is really acting for the camera or anything. It's genuine. You begin to root for every single one of these comics because you see them as people.

And these people are trying so goddamn hard to get somewhere as comedians and I really thought it was amazing to watch. It inspires hope I think.

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.
