Tribeca & Spring present Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

JULY 27th @ 6:30PM JOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK
W/ ALL-FEMALE STAND-UP COMEDY SHOW FEAT. ILANA GLAZER (BROAD CITY), KARA KLENK (MTV), MICHELLE BUTEAU (COMEDY CENTRAL), BROOKE VAN POPPELEN (TruTV) + INTRO BY AWARD-WINNING FILMMAKER RICKI STERN

Following the comedy trailblazer over the course of a year, renowned documentarians Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg's vérité film captures the sheer amount of work that Rivers does, stumping for herself across the country at standup gigs, television stints, and live performances. Her signature saucy humor is on full display both in the spotlight and behind the scenes, often betraying an obsession with success, celebrity, beauty, and superficiality, while always lambasting all of these trappings of fame to shocking comic effect. A Piece of Work reveals the fascinating combination of self-determination and self-deprecation, vulnerability and irreverence that fuel the Rivers empire, adding up to a quintessential film about a quintessential American icon. The film will be followed by an all-female stand-up tribute to Joan Rivers. Cocktails at 6:30PM, Screening & Show @ 7:30PM
