Frequently asked questions
What are the best stand-up comedy podcasts?
Stand-up comedy podcasts range from recorded live sets to behind-the-scenes conversations with working comedians about the craft. The top-ranked shows on this page include both formats, featuring some of the best-known names in stand-up as well as rising talent.
Are stand-up comedy podcasts different from comedy podcasts generally?
Yes — stand-up comedy podcasts specifically feature stand-up comedians and the world of live comedy, as opposed to general comedy podcasts which might be conversation-based, improv, or sketch comedy. Stand-up podcasts often include recorded material from live shows or in-depth discussion of the craft and business of stand-up.
Where do stand-up comedians talk about their craft?
Several excellent podcasts feature comedians discussing the technical and creative aspects of writing and performing stand-up — how jokes are constructed, how sets are tested, and how comedians develop their stage persona. These are particularly popular with aspiring comedians and comedy enthusiasts who want to go beyond just watching specials.
