THE COMEDY HALL OF FAME ARCHIVES

About the Archives

Unlike The Baseball Hall of Fame, which has bats, balls, uniforms and plaques, The Comedy Hall of Fame has stories. Comedic history is defined not by statistics, but by the biographies of individual artists.

The Comedy Hall of Fame Archives is a group of biographies that form the most comprehensive oral history in the history of the field. These biographies tell the stories of the artists in their own words, serving as a platform for both education and recognition while simultaneously defining the history of comedy.

The Archives are the cornerstone of and basis for The Comedy Hall of Fame.
