This documentary showcases how LGBTQ+ comedians use humor as a tool for resistance and liberation, weaving together personal narratives, archival footage, and live performances. It opens with scenes from a historic 2022 show at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, featuring over 20 queer comedians on stage. With contributions from icons such as Lily Tomlin, Wanda Sykes, Eddie Izzard, Hannah Gadsby, Margaret Cho, Rosie O’Donnell, Bob the Drag Queen, and Trixie Mattel, the film traces the evolution of queer comedy from the pre-Stonewall era to the present day.
