POLITICAL HUMORISTS
For as long as the comedically inclined have grabbed the microphone, their local and national politicians, have and always will, grace the brunt of their jokes. Comedy and politics have always gone well together; whether it be Steve Bridges’ George W. Bush impersonation, Dennis Miller’s literary conservative oratory, Al Franken’s liberal commentary, Tim Watters’s the premiere imposter of President Bill Clinton, or the renegade social commentary of Will Durst, political humorists are in demand whether it’s television or for personal appearances.

It’s extremely hard to turn on the television and not come across a political humorist at work. Bill Maher has risen to success at the late night slots with his barbed left sided winged laughs. A political humorist gives their audience what they want to hear; a witty way to put down the politicians they love to hate. Many of the best political humorists in the nation are represented by Comediansusa.com, providing the comedy that corporate meeting & association planners and their audiences want to hear.

The political humorist is not your average standup comedian, he or she has to be educated and well rounded. To be a political humorist or satirist you have to keep up with your current events, whether the target be Democrat or Republican, in the House or Senate, a non-elected bureaucrat, the person who occupies the Oval Office or a member of the Supreme Court, no one in Washington is spared the wrath of a political humorist when they slip up. Today’s comedy relies heavily on political humor; it seems we can’t get enough of it. Any chance to see Jay Leno, David Letterman , Craig Ferguson, or Conan challenge a national politician is reason enough for a household to stay up and turn on the television. Can you imagine Saturday Night Live without their healthy dose of political satire and parody? The political humor of Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart, host of the Daily Show and Stephen Colbert, host of The Colbert Report are literally the backbone of that network.

But why do we love the political humorists like Comediansusa.com’s Dennis Miller. It’s because they use their intelligence to turn the actions of politicians into witty dialect. Whatever the approach may be, comedy that’s based on those who walk the halls of Congress or reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will always have an enticing appeal!
