If contemporary professional comedians were magically taken to the Paleolichic, they'd probably work much earlier in the day. Back then, there were no Late Night Shows or well-lit comedy clubs.

They'd probably die long before they had a chance to try working.

Idk, they're going to the Paleolichic era. They might survive if they're sent back in some great outfits.

And even if they did have clubs, they're not speaking the same language, so no one would get the jokes

I laugh at jokes I didn't hear if the one who says them is smiling or laughing, so I wouldn't be so sure

If they did speak the same language what jokes could they tell that would be relatable?

Dick and fart jokes maybe?

They'd be giving a show in front of a campfire. During times with natural light everyone would be too busy gathering food to survive to spend time listening to a comedy show

Yeah, comedians would be hard pressed to compete with Britney.

People telling jokes around the at night seems like a very ancient human tradition.

I'm imaging Seinfield-like observational comedy but with other themes. "Hunter-gathering? What's the deal? I do all the gathering and none of the hunting!"

I'm struggling with Richard Pryor shit jokes. "You ever have a shit that sticks to the toilet bowl?"

"Boo! Grog not know what toilet bowl is. Don't like intellectual humour."
