Great comedians are built on great influences. The Recommendations section of Banter is where Tough Crowd members share the podcasts, books and live shows worth your time — the ones that made them funnier, sharper, or just kept them going through a tough gig. Our community of comedians curates the comedy canon that actually matters, from classic albums and must-watch specials to the niche podcasts that will change how you think about the craft.
