About THE ARISTOCRATS:

One hundred superstar comedians tell the same very, VERY filthy joke—one shared privately by comics since Vaudeville.

“a raucous insider docu that invites the viewer to share a secret held exclusively by comics for untold generations” —Todd McCarthy, Variety

To capture the infamous joke’s history and variations from top entertainment personalities, comedians Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza conceived and produced this comedy documentary. The film was a hit at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and winner of Best Documentary at the 2005 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.

“The Aristocrats” was Johnny Carson’s favorite joke, and the film is dedicated to him.
