Stop, Snap, Sign: Here’s Every Backstage Polaroid from Netflix is a Joke Fest
These photos are a joke.
If you haven’t been following Netflix is a Joke Fest, you might be living under a rock — or a universe where Tom Brady doesn’t exist. Roasts aside, it’s the biggest comedy event in the world … at least, since the last Netflix is a Joke Fest. From May 2 through May 12, the one-of-a-kind event brought out the biggest names in comedy, playing in venues across Los Angeles. The festival took over the city in the funniest way possible, so joke’s on anyone outside Los Angeles. And if you weren’t able to make it out, we’ve got the inside look, getting up close and personal with today’s top stand-up stars who performed across more than 500 live shows.
Ahead are a collection of polaroids captured by Emily Soto, taken over the course of two weeks of the festival — while stars like Nikki Glaser, John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, and Adam Lambert stopped, posted, and even signed photos amid all the laughs.
