Watch the trailer: Here Win: We have 3 dbls for Sun Sept 12, 6pm. To enter, email win@threethousand.com.au with the subject 'This is how Marie Antoinette woulda lived. If she had had money' Print Email Share Even though saying 'I love to laugh' comes from the land of like-no-duh, it's also from the land of obvs-because-its-true, riiiiight? Y'know I've sat at home alone and LOL-ed along to live stand-up DVDs and I'm not ashamed to admit it. So, as much as I marvel at anyone who can actually make me laugh at their cute and impish antics, I also have a lot more love for what we like to call the dark side of humour, aka the gravel pit of funny. This sort of funny is kinda like holding up a fat mirror to a car accident and showing the hilarity of the horrible. Joan Rivers does that. In her new doco Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, she is so balls-out-honest about everything people normally try to hide about themselves (pettiness, insecurity, blatant ambition, vanity) you can't help leaving the film feeling like you're BFFs (or her therapist). Like the opposite of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedian, finally here's a doco about the funny people that doesn't just ‘make ‘em laugh'.
