If contemporary professional comedians were magically taken to the Paleolichic, they'd probably work much earlier in the day. Back then, there were no Late Night Shows or well-lit comedy clubs.

  They’d be giving a show in front of a campfire

  People telling jokes around the at night seems like a very ancient human tradition.

  And even if they did have clubs, they’re not speaking the same language, so no one would get the jokes

    They surely did have clubs in paleolith.

      I think they were bigger on spears though.

    I laugh at jokes I didn’t hear if the one who says them is smiling or laughing, so I wouldn’t be so sure

    If they did speak the same language what jokes could they tell that would be relatable?

    Dick and fart jokes maybe?

      I’m imaging Seinfield-like observational comedy but with other themes. “Hunter-gathering? What’s the deal? I do all the gathering and none of the hunting!”

  They’d probably die long before they had a chance to try working.

    Idk, they’re going to the Paleolichic era. They might survive if they’re sent back in some great outfits.
