Logline:
“Gluten is a Joke” examines how gluten-related illnesses, especially celiac disease, have become
the subject of jokes in pop culture, stand-up comedy, and everyday conversation. While the
world laughs, millions suffer. This documentary challenges our assumptions about food, illness,
and the way we treat invisible suffering. It's time we stop laughing and start listening.

Gluten is a Joke weaves together cultural critique, personal stories, and medical insight to
explore how gluten-related disorders became misunderstood and dismissed in the public eye.
Through interviews with comedians, advocates, influencers, doctors, patients, and media analysts, we
expose the tension between perception and reality and ask what it costs when comedy punches
down.
