The documentary "Call Me Lucky" about a never really successful stand up comic named Barry Crimmins, who I'd never heard of before, but was doing stand up in the 80's in the vein of Bill Hicks. But the documentary is more than just about his career, as it goes into a traumatic incident in his childhood as a sexual abuse victim, and how that's affected the rest of his life. The film is at times very funny, as he is very funny, but delves into some dark stuff, and certainly not everyone wants to imagine. That said, the movie is very good.
