I liked the combination of commentary (a bit of history) and snippets of the many stand-up comedians. I wish the excerpts were longer, but it gave a good sample of many performers past and present.

Very old interviews with these ladies. It was interesting but by no way entertaining. Would not want to see it again. Dozed off the last 30 minutes. Too long for such weak interviews and clips
