Watch a Documentary About How to Build a Comedy Scene Outside of LA and NYC in “Make Fun”
It’s kind of an amazing time in this millennium where comedy can live outside of cities with less than 10 million people. Still, outside of comedy meccas like LA and NYC as well as Chicago, a whole separate set of challenges present themselves when trying to make a go at being a comedian in smaller cities.
Jim Tews and Ramon Rivas II’ Make Fun: Building a Comedy Scene is a documentary that chronicles doing comedy in Cleveland, OH and how the scene there and elsewhere is built from the ground up.
The feature length doc is available to watch now for $5.
