This comedy documentary performance film premiered in 2007. The film shows a live stage performance of a theater troupe group called the Neo-Futurists. This group of actors try to explain why we find comedy funny and what is responsible for making us laugh. The goal of the Neo-Futurists in this performance is to try and make humor not funny by offering explanations into why we find humor funny. Theories of psychology are discussed that relate to comedy and humor from figures such as Sigmund Freud and Milton Berle as the troupe tries to kill comedy as we know it in their performance.
