A deep dive into the pursuit of purpose through the lens of stand-up comedy. The Hustle of Funny follows six comedians from the DMV area as they navigate the highs and lows of building a career on the D.C. comedy circuit.

With raw honesty and humor, they lay themselves bare on stage for a laugh, and in the process, they reveal what they’ve learned about themselves. Through their journeys, the film explores the meaning of purpose, the grit it takes to follow it, and the quiet power of vulnerability.
