Directed by Wendy Lobel, Anxiety Club takes viewers behind the curtain of stand-up comedy to explore anxiety not as punchline but as lived experience. The film interweaves stand-up performances, sketch videos, intimate interviews and therapy sessions to follow a cohort of comedians—including Marc Maron, Tiffany Jenkins, Aparna Nancherla, Mark Normand, Baron Vaughn, Eva Victor and Joe List—as they navigate the anxieties that fuel their art and their lives. Among its sequences: Tiffany Jenkins openly undergoes exposure therapy, Joe List participates in guided meditation with teacher Tara Brach, and others reflect on how anxiety drives creativity, performance, fear and laughter. In this way, the documentary offers a compelling blend of vulnerability and humor—showing anxiety’s shadow and its surprising power in the comedy world.
