A comedy about depression, alcoholism, suicide and the other funniest parts of life. Gethard holds nothing back as he dives into his experiences with mental illness and psychiatry, finding hope in the strangest places. An adaption of his one-man off-Broadway show of the same name.
A dive into the heart of sketches by comedians who poke fun at our quirks, our foibles, and our habits, making us laugh with talent at who we are, us French people! France is as much in the comedians' sights as it is in their hearts. Playing on our behaviors, over time they have become the best observers of France and our lives. Who loves well, chastises well! Beyond self-deprecation, it is certainly out of love that our comedians tease France, its culture, its regions, and its inhabitants.
