Documentary about the life of Christian comedian Chonda Pierce, the RIAA's number one selling female comedian of all time.
The documentary was a pleasant surprise. One might think it would consist of Christian comedian Chonda Pierce's performances only, but its main theme is about her life's struggles and how she overcame them through her faith in God. The movie title, Laughing in the Dark, really demonstrates Chonda's life story.
There are some great clips from her comedy routines sandwiched in between her honest and touching revelations about her troublesome past - a great way to write and direct the film as well as to make it interesting and entertaining. The audience comes away with sympathy for Chonda, but also satisfaction that she has overcome her trails by trusting in God to help her and ultimately, an example for us to follow. An excellent film.
