From The Comic's Comic

Time to update the yearly records since Wikipedia doesn’t seem up to the task!

I mean, just look how haphazard Wiki’s list is. It’s like no comedy fans are even trying over there. We can do better. So let’s do better.

I’ve added a page onto this site as a handy guide for you to see just how many comedy specials have come out during the calendar year! Just look to the sidebar for the label, Stand-Up Comedy Specials of 2024, then clickity click on it and there you go.

Here’s what I spotted across the transom these past two months, not counting re-releases. If your special isn’t on this list but should be, or if anything else needs to be added or corrected, then please let me know. Thanks!
