About this movie

I Used To Be Funny is a female-driven dramedy about hope, love, and how humor can heal. It follows Sam Cowell (Rachel Sennott), a young 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 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 disappearance.
