Exclusive Interview: Jorgy Cruz Talks ‘Funny Pains’

Acting may be tough, but being a standup comedian is even more grueling. We explored this in one of our early interviews with Paul Smith, but filmmaker Jorgy Cruz went full speed ahead and made a full-blown documentary about one comedian’s journey. Funny Pains follows New York comedian Wendi Starling. It offers up an unflinching look at all the highs and lows that come with carving out one’s nitch in the entertainment business.
