The Comedy Store is a 2020 documentary miniseries directed, produced and starring Mike Binder about the American comedy club The Comedy Store.[1][2][3]
NPR said "This documentary contains plenty of laughs to make it very entertaining. But it also says a lot about fame, about the drive to succeed, and about both competition and friendship. Such topics as sexism and racism are addressed frankly also. In putting this all together, Binder has access to a seemingly endless stack of candid photos taken at the club, and uses them very well. He also folds in some very specific music choices on the soundtrack, ending each episode on one emotional peak or another."[4]
IndieWire wrote "Had “The Comedy Store” been more focused on story and less on free-wheeling chats, it might have accurately captured The Store as Binder and so many other comedians see it. But, as such, what the viewer is continually told was wild and reckless, more often than not, comes off as mild and feckless.[5]
The Hollywood Reporter said "It’s a five-hour commercial for The Comedy Store, but darned if it isn’t funny and entertaining."[6]
