Stand-Up Comedians

30 items

Comedy has been flattened into thirty-second clips, which is roughly the worst possible format for an art form built on a long setup. Draw a comedian and watch one complete special, start to finish, no phone. The structure only becomes visible at that length, and the good ones are building something across an hour. Thirty performers spanning styles and generations. Expect to bounce off at least a third of them; taste in comedy is unusually personal.
