You would think it would be easy to pick out the absolute funniest comedian from each state, but it turns out it’s quite difficult. Especially because a lot of legendary comedians are from the same state.
So before you go getting all upset at the picks on the map below, take a look at our criteria to understand how we came to these selections:
- The comedian had to be BORN in the state. Even if it was only for 6 months of their lives. Things got too complicated once we starting looking into where people grew up.
- If a number of legendary comedians were all born in the same state, we watched some clips of each comedian doing stand up back to back and brought it to a vote. We wish we could’ve included more than one for some states.
- A few very popular comedians weren’t even born in the U.S., so they were out of the running from the get go.
- We’re very sorry about Larry the Cable Guy and Carrot Top. We really had no other options.
- States with X’s. You seriously need to step up your funny game.
Now that that’s out of the way, we look forward to your spiteful and angry comments. Here is a map of the funniest stand-up comedian from each state.
