Questions

The hardest working comedians, answered

Who is the hardest working comedian right now?

Ahren Belisle, with 41 nights on stage in the next 90 days: 56 shows in 34 towns, 9 states, 2 countries. Ingo Appelt is next, with 34 nights.

How are the standings decided?

By nights on stage in the next 90 days, from the dated shows on the Comedy Calendar and the comedians' own tour pages. Several shows on one night count as one night. A tie goes to the comedian in more towns, then the one with more shows.

Every day. A night that has passed drops off and new dates come in, so the 90 days always start today. These run from 6 November 2026 to 4 February 2027.

Which rooms book the hardest working comedians?

Hollywood Improv in Los Angeles, CA (27 nights), Stress Factory New Brunswick in New Brunswick, NJ (14 nights), Helium Comedy Club in Indianapolis, IN (13 nights) lead, counting the nights the top 25 play each room.

Who has the longest run of nights in a row?

Jim Gaffigan: 9 nights in a row, 14 November 2026 to 22 November 2026.
