For all comedy

9/10

"This show, will showcase multiple generations of comedy. You cannot like one single generation of comedy and completely enjoy the show, but that's also the point. Comedy evolves. Whether you have clean comedians, or dirty ones, or realistic ones, or anything else. The thing about comedy that brings us together is laughter.
