The last 7 days brought a whole flurry of comedy news, and I’m not talking about a bunch of people dressing up in offensive or insensitive costumes on Halloween thinking it’d be OK. Stand up specials from comedy giants and brand new shows that might give a little faith to this latest crop of TV shows, to a certain creator of a show that rhymes with “Raking Rad” guest-starring on another show that rhymes with “Immunity,” and much more.

So, I won’t even do the ‘further adieu’ part in order to save you some reading of these Biggest Happenings in Comedy Right Now.
