Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents, formerly known as The Half Hour, is an American stand-up comedy television series that airs on Comedy Central in the United States. The program features various stand-up comedians in each episode. It replaced the similar program Comedy Central Presents in 2012.
The Half Hour shines a spotlight on some of the funniest and most unusual voices in stand-up comedy.
Every episode features an up-and-coming comedian or sometimes a group performing an original set of stand-up. The first four seasons of the show were filmed at the Royale theatre in Boston, Massachusetts.[2] Beginning with the fifth season, the comedians now perform their sets at the Civic Theatre in New Orleans, Louisiana.[3] It was announced that a sixth season was picked up with 14 new stand-up comedians given their own set. It was also announced that the show will be retitled Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents.[4]
