HYSTERICAL

On the fringe of the New York stand-up scene, there are characters no comedian could make up. At open mikes, they do fascinating comedy which sometimes only makes sense to them. Two outsider comedians let us deep into their lives, which are even more surprising and peculiar than their acts.
RAIL FAN by James Stuart

Hidden in NYC’s subway system there is a thriving subculture, rail fans; young men from the inner city who head into the subway not to travel from A to B, but to revel in the sights and sounds of the system. See what the city’s subway obsessives find so fascinating about this sprawling, crowded and broken-down system.
