Lily Tomlin, Robin Tyler, Margaret Cho & more queer comedy legends get the last laugh in new doc
Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution. Tyler’s deadpan delivery of coming out in 1958 at the age of 16 is one of many gems captured by director Page Hurwitz in a film that will likely become part of the queer cultural canon. With a starry lineup including icons like Lily Tomlin and newer voices like Patti Harrison, the interwoven commentaries and historic footage provide a framework for the previously produced Netflix comedy special, Stand Out: An LGBTQ+ Celebration, filmed live in 2022 at Long Angeles’ Greek Theater and featuring dozens of queer comedians.
