Summary

Comedian/producer Page Hurwitz takes time out of a summer day in Provincetown to talk about OUTSTANDING: A Comedy Revolution, the Netflix documentary she directed. In keeping with the spirit of the doc, we talk about the LGBTQ+ legends of standup (Lily Tomlin! Sandra Bernhard!), the unsung heroes (Robin Tyler!), the guys who white-knuckled it through the intense homophobia of the ‘80s (Todd Glass! Scott Thompson!), and the big show at the Greek that brought them all together. OUTSTANDING is streaming globally on Netflix now, and it is not to be missed.
