Comedy is destigmatizing society’s concerns over physical and mental health in the new official trailer for the upcoming documentary, ‘Anxiety Club.’ The trailer is promoting the project’s digital release this Friday, August 15 by Jolt Films.

Wendy Lobel directed and produced the funny, heartfelt and deeply relatable exploration into anxiety through the lens of modern society’s most brilliant comedians. The movie features interviews with Marc Maron, Tiffany Jenkins, Baron Vaughn, Aparna Nancherla, Mark Normand, Eva Victor and Joe List. The performers all open up with humor and vulnerability about their experiences with anxiety.

‘Anxiety Club’ provides an intimate and humorous look at anxiety through the eyes and minds of some of the most brilliant comedians working today. The performers offer candid reflections on their relationship with anxiety through exclusive interviews, standup performances, sketch videos, therapy sessions and everyday life.

With rare access to private therapy sessions, the documentary follows Jenkins, a comedian and content creator with over 9 million followers, as she undergoes behavioral therapy. The movie captures the profound changes her treatment brings forth.

Other patients find support from alternative sources, such as world-renowned meditation expert Tara Brach, PhD. There’s also a psychologist-in-residence at The Laugh Factory.

All of the comedians in ‘Anxiety Club’ have created standup or sketch material about their mental health that’s not only funny, but also uniquely relatable and disarming to audiences. With comedy and honesty, these comedians provide remarkable insight into anxiety –  the most prevalent mental health disorder affecting an estimated 300 million people worldwide.
