Paperhouse Productions are pleased to present "Comedians Anonymous", a short film written and directed by Irish filmmaker Thomas McNally ().

Anto (Joe Rooney - Father Ted) leads a support group for recovering comedians. Each week, the group of comedians meet to share their personal stories about how the need to be funny has damaged their lives. Together, they try to help one another to resist the incessant need to make jokes at every little thing in life. But are they strong enough to overcome this devastating addiction to making people laugh?
