Maeve Higgins: Laugh your ass off with some of America’s finest comedians

Name-checking a few hilarious comedians working in the comedy world in the US who also happen to be black

THANK me now, dear reader, because this week’s column as a public service that will bring you from where you are now, unsmiling and alone, to where you could be — laughing your butt off in the company of others. You’re welcome!

I’m writing this column to remind you of, or possibly introduce you to, some of the funniest comedians in show business today. It’s the final part of my Black History Month series, where I promised to include silliness and joy.
