A feature film about featuring standup comedy? Six feature films? This project snuck up on us.

Hollywood Report says the series of films will hit theaters soon.

The programming network arm of cinema advertising firm Screenvision has partnered with production firm Waggingtail Entertainment for seven original stand-up features set to hit theaters across the U.S. starting in May under the series title “Stand-Up 360.”

Caroline Rhea serves as the lead host of the live-recorded features, which typically include 100-plus minutes each of stand-up from six headline and up-and-coming comedians as well as behind-the-scenes footage.

The “Stand-Up 360” series also includes special-theme presentations, such as two “Muy Caliente” editions, featuring Latino talent and hosted by Erik Rivera, and “Inside Out,” headlined by popular gay and lesbian comics.

Among the featured comics in the series are Roz G, Judy Gold, Godfrey, Modi, Poppi Kramer and Wali Collins.

“Muy Caliente” includes Angelo Lozada, Cristela Alonzo and Sara Contreras, while “Inside Out” puts the spotlight on such performers as Jackie Hoffman, Frank DeCaro, Jaffe Cohen, Hedda Lettuce and Michele Balan.
