Sure, you get bruised. Your ego takes a pummelling.
But you get some new jokes.
This show isn't for every comedian: only the crazy ones.
Are You Laughing Yet? follows a comic who willingly chucks himself at raw physical challenges where failure and laughs are guaranteed — think pro wrestling, self-defence, pole dancing — yes, for the stunt, but mostly to get new material for his standup.
He faces real fear, real pain, and real humiliation, just to go on stage and get real laughs. Physical comedy isn't a device here — it's the whole point.
Sure, your ego takes a pummelling. But you get some new jokes.
Are You Laughing Yet? is an unscripted comedy format that blends reality hijinks with live stand-up. The 4-episode pilot season aired on Bell Fibe TV1 — proof of concept for a format that's fully scalable, from short-form to half-hour or hour-long runs.
