Tig Notaro, Margaret Cho, Sandra Bernhard, Joel Kim Booster, Judy Gold, Roz Hernandez, Jim David, Todd Glass, Guy Branum, Robin Tyler, Solomon Georgio and Page Hurwitz, director/writer/producer of Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution attended the screening of the documentary at the Tribeca Festival at SVA Theater in New York City last Friday evening.

Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution
is the first feature length documentary to explore the history of queer stand up comedy. The documentary considers the importance of LGBTQ+ stand up as a driver of social change over the past five decades, actively reflecting and challenging cultural norms and values. Ultimately, the film reveals that queer comedians — whether they intended to or not — helped change the world, one joke at a time.

The doc combines interviews, memorable stand up performances, archival materials, and verité footage featuring top LGBTQ+ comedians including Lily Tomlin, Sandra Bernhard, Wanda Sykes, Eddie Izzard, Hannah Gadsby, Tig Notaro, Rosie O'Donnell, Margaret Cho, Bob The Drag Queen, and Trixie Mattel, among others.
