Brief thoughts on Anxiety Club (2024) DOC NYC 2024


Wendy Lobel looks at how we deal with anxiety and the related issues through the lives and experiences of comedians Marc Maron,  Baron Vaughn, Aparna Nancherla, Mark Normand, Eva Victor, Joe List and especially Tiffany Jenkins who takes us into her therapy sessions with her therapist.

This film is impossible to really review. That's not a slap or snark, it's simply a statement of fact. Because the film is exactly what the write up says it is, no more, no less, you will know exactly what you are getting going in. 

You will forgive my brevity but this film is similar to GROUP THERAPY which played earlier this year at Tribeca and was a filmed group therapy sessions between comedians. That film covered similar ground and was much more raw and in the moment with no cut aways for jokes

My quibble aside, ANXIETY CLUB is very funny and thought provoking  and recommended.
