How to make a documentary film about comedians: I Am Comic director Jordan Brady 2 of 3

Jordan Brady has been on stage, told the jokes, suffered the hecklers and luxuriated in the belly laughs.

He also knows the pitfalls of standup comedy and comedians. So who better to chronicle their lives than one of their own?

I just finished watching I Am Comic, Brady's funny, fast-moving tribute to the men and women who make their living analyzing their lives, picking at their own zits on stage, humiliating you, me and that fat, obnoxious idiot who made the mistake of sitting in the front row.

More than 80 people were interviewed for the film, including comics such as: Sarah Silverman, Carlos Mencia, Jim Gaffigan, Jeff Foxworthy, Tim Allen, Nick Kroll, Kathy Griffin, Dave Attell, Janeane Garofalo, Carrot Top, Louis C.K, Roseanne Barr, Todd Glass, Iliza Shlesinger, and Phyllis Diller.
