Watch The Makings of a Stand-Up Comedian

Stand-up comics. Most love 'em, but few know little about 'em... Until now. In The Makings of a Stand-Up Comedian, the curtain is pulled back, and audiences follow a group of up-and-coming comics - all of whom are at different stages in their career - as they work to pursue their dream of becoming one of the greatest comedians of all time. Whether it's Louis C.K., Jim Carrey, or Ellen DeGeneres, the world's introduction to most comics is usually about 15-20 years into the game, after they've already struck gold and secured lead film and television roles. Well, this is the journey they took to get there. If a stand-up's career were boxing, the fame would be the parading of the title belt, their journey, the fight, and this documentary your front row ticket... Enjoy.

The Makings of a Stand-Up Comedian is a 2015 arts entertainment and culture movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes.
