Sometimes, you need a laugh – and in the current political climate, those can
be few and far between.
Luckily, there’s always Netflix and its stand-up comedy category to grant
you some escapism from your Brexit / Trump presidency worries (depending
on which side of the Atlantic you live on).
From Donald Glover to Iliza Shlesinger, the streaming platform is home to
some of the most entertaining, biting, and moving comedy available
nowadays.
Here are the 10 best comedy shows currently featured on its catalogue, with
one standout line singled out for each line.
Be warned: while each standout line aims to embody the particular style of a
specific show, it doesn’t necessarily represent the funniest bit from that
show. Tone, body language and comic build-up are sadly nigh-on impossible
to transcribe in the written form, and will of course only be appreciated by
watching the actual sketch.
