Comedy Tickets

Ready for some big laughs? Every year, the finest comedians around the world plan their schedule and announce headlining standup shows, as well as appearances in comedy festivals. The best thing about being a comedian on tour is that you don’t need a new album – all comedians need to do is bring their A-game to the stage and treat the audience to their impeccable humor.

Sure, it’s not as easy as it sounds. Comedians have to come up with fresh material, hilarious punchlines and new acts, but many comics also thrive on spontaneity. They use their observations to improvise and some even come up with the most hilarious jokes by just being inspired by an audience member. And that’s why the comedic gurus claim that comedy is a talent, a natural in-born ability that can’t be taught.

Some of the greatest comedians in the world have been lauded not just for their humor but also the skill of educating their audience. According to these veterans, comedy is not just about making people laugh hysterically, but to also provoke thinking so that they question their cultural beliefs and their surroundings. George Carlin, Bill Hicks and Lenny Bruce are among the few comedians who fall under this type of comedy.

Just like the other performing arts, comedy has also evolved and come a long way. Today, a successful comedian is one who presents an artistic balance in work that’s a blend of creative merit, perfect timing, technical proficiency, degree of influence, along with the quality and delivery of written material. It’s the craftsmanship of these performers that has increased the demand of comedy tickets world over as more and more people attend standup shows.
