Hysterical : the fiercest funny Ladies

 



Hysterical a documentary from FX that is now screening on Hulu has one of THE best line ups of fierce funny women for a very long time 

They remind us that Stand-up comedy had always been a male domain. Only a tiny handful of women have broken out of the brutal world of comedy clubs to become household names. Now after decades of fighting for a place in the spotlight, things have finally shifted.

This feature documentary from director Andrea Nevins (Tiny Shoulders: Rethinking Barbie), takes us backstage and on the road with veteran comedians, rising stars, and novices to discover how an intrepid group of boundary-breaking females are changing the game and exploring what it takes to become the voices of their generation and their gender.

It features newcomers to superstars, the funniest women in comedy drop the mic with their heartfelt struggles, personal stories, and hilariously bold opinions. Featuring Kelly Bachman, Margaret Cho, Fortune Feimster, Rachel Feinstein, Marina Franklin, Nikki Glaser, Judy Gold, Kathy Griffin, Jessica Kirson, Lisa Lampanelli, Wendy Liebman, Carmen Lynch, Bonnie McFarlane, Sherri Shepherd and Iliza Shlesinger.

 

Now we can never get enough of Margaret Cho  so here’s a video of her on  Collider Ladies Night talking about her early days, and her successes right up to working on Hysterical.
