Full Plot Details

A group of stand-up comics, comedic actors and comedic filmmakers are individually interviewed about different aspects of the profession especially as it relates to their personal life. The topics of questions and answers include: the relationship with their parents with regard to their comedy; why they chose what is a natural kid's path of wanting attention as a career; when and/or how they discovered how comedy really works; the rush or high of performing; the need for public adoration; the comics that they admired early in their career and what material they may have stolen from other comics; when they knew their comedy had matured to professional status; the feeling of bombing; the relationship with peers, especially in comparison to relationships with non-comics; and the process of putting in the countless hours. The ultimate question placed to them is do you have to be miserable to be funny?

Movie Reviews

New York Daily News - 8/10 by Joe NeumaierExplaining humor is usually like boiling water — it evaporates. But the funny folks in actor Kevin Pollak’s well-structured doc can actually break down what they do.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Josh ModellTo a person, these comedians are looking for a connection, some attention, and appreciation — which makes them, as Penn Jillette points out toward the end, just like everybody else, only they have microphones and spotlights.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Alan ScherstuhlMisery Loves Comedy reveals artists adept at sounding out the darkest depths of our lives — and then transmuting what they find to laughter, a gift I bet sad young poets might ache for.
RogerEbert.com - 6/10 by Matt Zoller SeitzIt's hard to tell if Kevin Pollak's documentary Misery Loves Comedy is too much of a good thing or not enough.
Empire - 6/10 by David HughesIf only he had probed a bit deeper, and widened his scope beyond the predominantly white, male subjects (including our own Rob Brydon, Steve Coogan and Stephen Merchant), this could have been a fascinating film as well as a funny one.
Seattle Weekly - 5/10 by Sean AxmakerIf comedy is tragedy plus time, is stand-up comedy a kind of higher math used to survive that equation?
Movie Mezzanine - 5/10 by Sean BurnsThere was a time when all this might have felt, if not revelatory, then perhaps not quite as exhausted as it does during this particular moment in popular culture.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by David LewisFor the most part ... this is a pretty safe discussion about a very unsafe art form. We can only imagine what's in the outtakes.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 5/10 by Betty Jo TuckerIf you want to be a comedian, see this Kevin Pollak documentary first. However, although amusing and enlightening, it's also a bit scary and incoherent at times.
The Dissolve - 5/10 by Nathan RabinMore than anything, Misery Loves Comedy does not need to exist. The niche it aims to fill has already been occupied by people willing to go much deeper than Pollak.
