That’s not necessarily a bad thing; times and taste change at a rapid clip in the 21st century.
Still, for our money, there’s absolutely no better way to see stand-up, sketch or improv than IRL amongst other fans.
There’s simply nothing better than coming together with strangers and sharing a collective laugh (possibly at the audience’s expense if a crowd work comic is onstage).
And, thankfully, many of the biggest names in comedy are going to take their acts to the people all 2026 long.
We’re talking reliable household name vets like Bill Murray, Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy, Katt Williams and Weird Al along with huge 2020s stars Sebastian Maniscalco, Nate Bargatze, Nikki Glaser and John Mulaney as well as rising indie acts Gianmarco Soresi, Stavros Halkias and Jay Jurden.
And, if you happen to be in the Big Apple, the new Broadway show “All Out” features a stacked rotating cast made up of comedy ringers Jim Gaffigan, Ray Romano, Sarah Silverman, Wayne Brady and Jon Stewart among others.
Can’t wait to get out of the house?
Honestly, us too.
We can’t wait to share a laugh with you live in 2026.
Note: This lengthy list might be a bit overwhelming. We recommend bookmarking and re-visiting to check up on your favorite comedians.
