As of now the series is untitled, but it will be comprised of six episodes focusing on comedy clubs where all the highs and lows of working in comedy will be felt. Whenever you see stand-up comedy on TV, that’s the result of workshopping material for months, even years. That’s why it always goes so well on those specials. But in the lower echelons of the comedy world, there are far more frustrations, especially when it comes to balancing a career in comedy with a day job, the presence of hecklers, and the dread of bombing on stage.
For those who might be unfamiliar with the Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival, it features some of the biggest names in comedy. And the New Faces showcase is where some of those big names got started. Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Kumail Nanjiani and many more came through the New Faces showcase.
As a stand-up comedy nerd, this is a documentary series that I can’t wait to see.
