Consisting of both vintage footage from the era and interviews with the people who were a part of the scene, the film showcases how this fertile comedic territory produced such famous names as Steven Wright, {Denis Leary}, Bobcat Goldthwait, Colin Quinn, and Paula Pundstone. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
Fran Solomita can hold his breath and stamp his feet, but that isn't going to make 1970s-to-80s Boston much more than a footnote in the history of stand-up comedy

Rory L. Aronsky, Film Threat
After watching "When Stand Up Stood Out", you will not need Comedy Central as much as you think you do.

When Stand-Up Stood Out is enough to make any stand-up nut happy.
