FX is stepping behind the velvet rope with
Hysterical, a documentary about emerging and established female comics that looks at how the comedy world is finally catching up with the times.
Feature-length, the piece explores the joy of stand-up, tackles the “women aren’t funny” trope, tiptoes into cancel culture from a female perspective, and reveals a heartfelt camaraderie behind the scenes something that hasn’t always existed in its current form.
“The idea came from Jessica Kirson,” executive producer and Hysterical director Andrea Nevins told
SPIN of her fellow producer, who is a full-time standup. “She looked around at the community of women that she was spending time with and she thought, ‘People should know about them. People should know who they are, how funny they are and what it took for them to get there. ”
Directed by Andrea Nevins (The Other F Word), the documentary feature takes a behind-the-scenes look at women in comedy. See the Hysterical trailer here.
