The value of a stand-up comedy event depends entirely on how good its comedians are. But just how much truth is behind this statement?
To find out, we turn towards Dry Bar Comedy. This stand-up platform has routinely proven to feature some of the industry’s top comedians.
This article will introduce you to 5 stand-up comedians that we cannot recommend enough. And to convince you of this, we guarantee that they will give you that healthy dose of laughter.
1. Chad Thornsberry
Chad differentiates himself from fellow stand-up comedians with his laid-back attitude and slow-paced delivery. However, he doesn’t refrain from delivering uninhibited punchlines when he needs to.
Self-deprecating humor, sarcasm, and a hearty dose of observational comedy – are all key ingredients in his performances, and you will find them in his Dry Bar Comedy special. On the stage, Chad talks about all kinds of topics, some that are day-to-day occurrences, while others are unique experiences that he’s been through.

Tommy Drake takes everyday life and finds the funny in it with his unique blend of observational comedy and self-deprecating humor. His gestures, facial expressions, and inflection drive the scenario, gripping the audience in the hilarious stories he shares with us.
He has been in the comedy business since the early 90s. In 2020 he eventually landed on the Dry Bar Comedy stage with his special: You Shouldn’t Share Anything with Your Wife.
In his act, he is constantly poking fun at one of his most intimate relationships (his marriage) in the name of comedy. He knows precisely what topics to approach and how to phrase everything so that even his wife will have a good laugh about it.
