Things shifted when Funny AF launched on April 20th. The show features 44 comedians competing for approval from judges like Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani, Tom Segura, Chelsea Handler, and Keegan-Michael Key. It’s created a real event around stand-up comedy, which is unusual these days, and comedian Shane Taylor has been gaining fans throughout the competition. He easily made it to the semifinals and finals, which were broadcast live on Netflix May 4th and 5th as part of the Netflix Is a Joke festival. During the show, Taylor proved he’s charming on stage, can make people laugh even when talking about difficult topics, and is surprisingly good at roasting—even managing to playfully tease special guest Marshawn Lynch. Ultimately, after viewers voted, Taylor was named the show’s first winner.

In an age where the tangible seems to fade, we find ourselves enthralled by the intangible, chasing shadows of wealth across the ether. The demand, it appears, has returned-though one wonders if it ever truly left, or merely hid in the corners of speculative fervor.
