SUMMARY:Anxiety Club documentary screening
DESCRIPTION:Anxiety’s a hell of a thing. But it also makes for some great material. From Emmy Award-winning producer Wendy Lobel (Nick News) comes this peek behind the curtain as a group of comedians—Marc Maron and Aparna Nancherla among them—share stories of how they turned trauma and angst into art. \nANXIETY CLUB provides an intimate and humorous look at anxiety through the eyes and minds of some of today’s most brilliant comedians\, including Tiffany Jenkins\, Joe List\, Marc Maron\, Aparna Nancherla\, Mark Normand\, Baron Vaughn\, and Eva Victor. Through exclusive interviews\, stand-up performances\, sketch videos\, therapy\, and everyday life\, they share their personal relationships with anxiety. With rare access to private therapy sessions\, the film follows Tiffany Jenkins—a comedian and author with millions of followers—as she undergoes the often grueling process of exposure therapy\, capturing the transformative impact of her treatment. World-renowned meditation teacher and author Tara Brach\, Ph.D.\, guides one comedian through meditation to help him transcend his fears and anxieties\, while others find support from The Laugh Factory’s psychologist-in-residence and mentors in the comedy community. Each comedian in ANXIETY CLUB has created stand-up or sketch material about their mental health that is not only funny but uniquely relatable and disarming to audiences. By blending vulnerability with humor\, these comedians offer powerful insight into anxiety\, the world’s most prevalent mental health condition\, affecting more than 300 million people globally. \nContent Warning: This film contains material that may be difficult for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised. \nONLINE Q&A WITH THE cast & crew after the sreening
