In this funny and poignant documentary, former Allure magazine editor Joan Kron pairs female comedians with a taboo topic: plastic surgery. From late greats like Phyllis Diller and Joan Rivers to present-day icons Kathy Griffin and Roseanne Barr, Kron prods our love-hate relationship with cosmetic surgery, and follows local comedian Emily Askin (Steel City Improv) as she contemplates a nose job. Take My Nose…Please! is a hilariously unforgiving exposé of the pressures on women to be attractive. (Adult content: language)
