No laughing matter: documentary on endurance tickling runs into legal issues

Tickled, an investigative documentary into the strange, litigious world of “competitive endurance tickling”, has proved no laughing matter for its subject and producers.

“From what I understand [during the screening] he made a lot of loud ‘hurmph’ noises and took extensive notes on a legal pad.”

More recently people from Jane O’Brien Media have attended festival screenings of the documentary, which was acquired by HBO Films for a June release.
