Don’t ever let someone tell you that comedy is dead. While some older comedians like to proclaim that “cancel culture” and “diversity” are making audiences too sensitive to deliver great comedy, we’ve seen some incredible new artists announce their presence over the past few years.
Comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham with his friendly"woozle" Peanut will be back in his hometown in January.Don’t ever let someone tell you that comedy is dead. While some older comedians like to proclaim that “cancel culture” and “diversity” are making audiences too sensitive to appreciate great comedy, we’ve seen some incredible new artists announce their presence over the past few years. Like everything else, club comedy took a dip in 2020 due to COVID-19-related shutdowns.
Seeing a live comedic performance is a special treat. While many specials now stream on services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max, it’s hard to capture the same magic that laughing with a live crowd provides. Seeing someone land a punchline or fumble a joke live just gives it more impact. It’s fun to laugh in the company of strangers; even if you never see any of these people ever again, you'll have formed one of those strange short-lived bonds.
Right now, comedy is more important than ever, with all the global turmoil, economic troubles and all. Comedy can serve as escapism, but it also can create conversations. Sometimes, the best way to make a point — or challenge someone else’s — is by making everyone laugh. Here are some of the shows we’re looking forward to most in 2023.
