Stand-Up Comics

I consider stand-up comedy to be the most under-appreciated free form of writing & possibly the most difficult business to succeed with in the entertainment industry. I set out to draw 100 comedians using their birthdays as my deadline. The original criteria was to only draw those who got their start in stand-up which does apply to over half of these but I eventually fudged that rule as there were others I really wanted to draw. Many of my choices came simply from selecting those I admire & the legends who had a big influence on them. Here is an assortment from the 100 I drew.
