🏆 2020 Comedy Favorites
Full list and links below! This was fun to make, rolling through some stand-out specials and all of the comedy things from 2020 that made me happy. Sending my best. :)
More good stuff than I thought there would be in comedy this year, frankly. This list is going to look a bit strange, because it's half fully produced big-budget specials, and half comics in their basements. I have a list of my top five favorite specials from this year, and then some honorable mentions and some favorites from the comedy world outside of just specials, some funny happy things from elsewhere in comedy.
