'Group Therapy' Review: A Candid Look At Mental Health Through The Lens of Stand-Up Comedians - Tribeca Festival

Starring a stellar cast of comedians, including Neil Patrick Harris, Gary Gulman, Nicole Byer, Mike Birbiglia, London Hughes, Tig Notaro, and Atsuko Okatsuka, the film delves into the ways these performers use humor as a coping mechanism and a form of catharsis. Each comedian in the film shares their journey of developing their unique sense of humor, often citing the autobiographical storytelling style of Richard Pryor as a major influence. Gary Gulman’s story is equally harrowing as he discusses his battle with major depression and anxiety, his suicide attempt, and his subsequent time in a mental institution.
