CGiii Comment

'A Tough Act To Follow' is a documentary film that follows some of the experiences of Sampson, an internationally touring, veteran black, gay comic, and delves into the experiences of LGBT and other minority entertainers in the business of stand up comedy and the entertainment industry. Through humor as well as serious inquiry, it focuses on the homophobia, sexism and sometimes racism and other challenges that affect the level of visibility of diversity in comedy houses, television and on stages across the country.
