Ask HN: How do you choose comedians to watch live?

2 pointsalastairr2 comments

Prompted by Edinburgh Fringe festival which is starting soon, but in general it's really hard to remember who you like, find names of comics you might like. Interested in any services or tools that you use. I was hoping that some kind of AI personalisation app might be out there!

I check out some of their stuff and if I like their vibe or they make me laugh, I’ll go see them. I just make sure to only check out a joke or two, not a full set. I made that mistake once, where I saw a comic live, and after the first 5 minutes, I had heard every joke before. That wasn’t very fun.

I'm not very good at comedic sources, so I look for recommendations on old reddit posts.
