‘By seeking humor in the darkest dark, The Last Laugh gets at the intrinsic nature of comedy.‘
Jake Coyle
‘A viciously humane work, on a journey as vigorous as any contemplated by D.A. Pennebaker and his sort. ‘
Christopher Campbell
‘At a time when many of look to comedy to keep us sane, the question is especially pertinent. ‘
Peter Rainer
‘Insightfully open-ended inquiry into the role of humor as it relates to unspeakable tragedy. ‘
Nick Schager
