'Are comedians more depressed?'
"All of us learn a skill set inherently as children that gets us through childhood," Silverman tells the camera."A hundred percent of comedians become comedians because somewhere in their childhood they needed to be funny in order to survive."
In light of the recent high-profile deaths of comedian Brody Stevens, designer Kate Spade, musician Avicii and media personality Anthony Bourdain, Wilson and Soulpancake general manager Shabnam Mogharabi, told"We've talked about mental health for years. We care about this issue, we care about our audience," Mogharabi told.
Actor Rainn Wilson and SoulPancake CEO Shabnam Mogharabi attend SoulPancake LIVE at The Los Angeles Theater Center on December 04, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.Along with Stevens, the deaths of comedians Robin Williams in 2014 and Chris Farley in 1997 rocked audience members to their core."Comedy is not going to save you," Chris Gethard said in."If you are thinking about doing comedy as a substitute for therapy, it doesn't work — I tried, I tried for a long time.
Going through the door of comedy is a unique pathway into the conversation of mental health; however, Wilson wants to make clear what the purpose of the documentary. "This isn't about 'Oh, funny people are f***ed up,'" Wilson said."This is about what we are all messed up ... a lot of this conversation is about young people knowing that they are not alone."documentary is still in the works.
