Celebrated comedians Kate Clinton, Suzanne Westenhoefer,
Marga Gomez, and Karen Williams are four unique veteran performers
with different backgrounds, identities, ethnicity and economic
status. There are two things they do have in common: All
four are professional standup comedians, and all four have
been out lesbian comedians the entire duration of their careers,
even before it was fashionable to do so. LAUGHING MATTERS
is a humorous and insightful documentary showcasing these
four hilarious comedians. Directors Andrea Meyerson and Nancy
Rosenblum touch on each icons presence, with one-on-one interviews
that offer a behind the scenes look at the personalities
off stage, revealing some hilarious stories, as well as solo
performance highlights. The comedians discuss their upbringing,
struggles, triumphs, and what it’s like coming out
and being out as a performer. LAUGHING MATTERS shows us how
these four women became role models in the queer community,
as well as icons for other mainstream performers.
