WHO WE ARE
From Vaudeville to Saturday Night Live, Buster Keaton to Howdy Doody, The National Comedy Hall of Fame Museum is home to a wide-spanning collection of comedy memorabilia, including archival footage, authentic costumes, props and more. Since its inception in 1991 at the Beverly Hills Friars Club, The National Comedy Hall of Fame aims to preserve comedy history through education and entertainment, as we believe comedy is a significant player in American popular culture.
