Comedians Perform In A Sauna At New York Comedy Festival

Would you be willing to watch comedians perform in a sauna? It's a different approach but it actually happened!

Typically, comedians perform on stage at a comedy club. The lights are dim and there's a certain look that you become used to. However, not every comedy show is like that. There's a recent show at the New York Comedy Festival that's going viral on social media and it's far from your ordinary set. The comedians performed in an actual sauna--bringing the heat. They say laughter is the best medicine and saunas are supposed to be good for your health and wellbeing...so, is this the healthiest comedy show of all-time?

Some big names performed in the sauna at the New York Comedy Festival including Mark Normand, Juan Nicolon, Sienna Hubert-Ross, and Gabe Rodriguez-Tossas. The show was hosted by Andrew Packer.

You don't hear about sets like this often but I think it's really cool. Sounds like the comedians tailored their sets for the occasion too. Normand even rocked a towel over his trunks! Juan did his set while sipping iced tea, per The New York Post.

Not only was there a show in the sauna but there was also a cold plunge room so you could cool off. This is really unique but I think it would be a cool experience to see a comedy show like this--especially if the comics are leaning into the bit. Have you ever seen anything like that?
