This film is a recording of a stand up comedy show with 7 gay and lesbian comedians.
Each comedian had only 10 minutes each, and I think it was not quite enough. It feels as if each of the show is just warmed up and it has to stop. All the comedians are really funny, and they tell their coming out stories in a touching but fun way. I particularly enjoyed John Riggi and Jackie Beat's performances, because they were the most touching and personal (yet fun).
Maybe this video will encourage people to come out, but as Terry Sweeney said, "There's still fear in the air". People refused to be in this show because they feared they would lose future job prospects. Between the jokes, it reminds people that coming out is not easy, and life is simply not easy.
