When you grow old, what new creative pursuit will you passionately throw yourself into? For two octogenarians, the rather awe-inspiring answer was standup. Watch a new documentary about their journeys into comedy here.
The comics Natalie K. Levant and George Saltz became friends after meeting on the comedy circuit.
Levant, a veteran of community theatre, had never considered doing standup until an acquaintance urged her to, when she was eighty-one. “I found myself really a misfit being an older woman, widowed,” she tells McDonough in the film. “There was, like, a format that I was supposed to follow. But I didn’t fit.” She adds, “The first time I attempted standup, I thought, Yeah! You know, this is where I belong.
