The Comedy Store (Documentary)

By Mike Binder

Mike Binder's five-part 2020 Showtime docuseries on the Sunset Strip club that built modern stand-up. Through Pryor, Letterman, Leno, Williams, Rock and the rest, it portrays The Comedy Store as both proving ground and pressure cooker — the place where being funny is a vocation paid for in pain. The best film about what the craft actually costs.
