Timed to Pride, Netflix has dropped the trailer for its first-of-its-kind documentary about the history of standup comedy in the LGBT+ community. “Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution” will premiere on the streamer June 18 following its Spotlight Premiere at the Tribeca Festival on Friday.
“All kinds of comedy is accepted now that I never thought would be accepted in my lifetime,” Rosie O’Donnell says in this first trailer. “When I was a young comic, you had to be careful what you did and who you talked to and who knew.”
“It wasn’t accepted to say you were gay onstage,” Lily Tomlin says in the video.
