An overview of new stand-up comedy videos (22 minutes or longer) released in October 2023. DISCLAIMER: Stand-up comedy remains completely unhinged, dare I say the comics are unleashed, when it comes to keeping track of new releases, and the platforms aren’t much better in terms of allowing anyone to find new comedy specials, either, and then you’ve got all of the comedians and networks re-releasing old specials as if they were new, so yeah, it’s all sorts of sideways but if you want to have any idea of just how much new comedy is coming out in a given year or month, then you’ve got to try all sorts of search methods and my secret blend of search herbs and spicy search terms have resulted in this list. If you see anything I missed or listed here in error, please let me know, thanks!
