What a wonderful array of comedians and history. This presentation was well done especially with the interaction with artificial intelligence. We got to see and hear about various forms of comedy including some of more risqué monologues. It was broken into various rooms with different types of entertainment. We also got to connect with the likes of the other patrons. This was truly unique. This is a must stop if you’re in the area.

Terrific, relatively new (opened in 2018) museum. They start by having you build your “comedy profile” which is programmed into your wrist band so exhibits are customized to your tastes. For example, film clips are selected in the movie theatre based on your likes. Very interactive. A green screen let’s you put yourself into famous comedy scenes—I did Lucy & Ethel in the chocolate factory. Lots of info on writers, cartoonists, producers as well as actors and comics. I especially enjoyed the George Carlin and Ernie Kovacs rooms, the prop exhibit with clips, and the stand-up club.

Plan on several hours of laughter and fun. So many interactive displays. Star's clothing and props. Great fun.
