I Used To Be Funny – Watch Rachel Sennott in the trailer for the new indie dramedy

I USED TO BE FUNNY is a comedy-drama that follows Sam Cowell (Rachel Sennott), an aspiring stand-up comedian and au pair struggling with PTSD, as she decides whether or not to join the search for Brooke (Olga Petsa), a missing teenage girl she used to nanny. The story exists between the present, where Sam tries to recover from her trauma and get back on stage, and the past, where memories of Brooke make it harder and harder to ignore the petulant teen’s sudden disappearance.

Sennott was fantastic in Bottoms and Shiva Baby so looking forward to this one.

Writer/director Ally Pankiw’s debut feature is both funny and heartbreaking in its honest and refreshing look at trauma and recovery, and how they affect the relationships and communities that shape us.

The film also stars Sabrina Jalees, Caleb Hearon, Ennis Esmer, Dani Kind & Jason Jones.

I Used To Be Funny opens in select US cinemas on 7th June 2024.
