Comedians’ Wives Club

When a group of comedians' wives begin talking about their significant others, they realize that none of their husbands are particularly funny people at home. They just perform well on stage. Whitney (Brie Larson), the clever and quick-witted humorist of the group, decides that she is more than capable of being a successful comedian.

However, she is soon forced to face the discrimination of the comedy business. Despite an outstanding performance, she is subjected to heckling and jeers from male members of the audience. Instead of cowering away from these bullies, Whitney uses the opportunity to confront the sexist tendencies she sees in not only the comedy industry, but society as a whole.

Avery Videll's award winning film, Comedian Wives Club, makes a profound statement about the gender prejudice that still exists in many fields of entertainment.
