Where the stand-up comedy news comes from
Every story is the publication's own: its headline, under its name, links to the article itself. The one or two sentences beneath a headline are D.O.C.'s summary of it. A story is linked to a SUCDb record when it names that comedian in full, and to the Club Directory when it names the room with its town.
The publications read for this page:
- British Comedy Guide
- Chortle
- Deadline
- Rolling Stone
- The A.V. Club
- The Comic's Comic
- The Guardian
- The Hollywood Reporter
- Variety
- Vulture
Their dates are on the Comedy Calendar, and the comics D.O.C. follows are on See Them Now.
