Nothing tops The Book of Mormon. In my opinion, saying otherwise is just recency bias. There are some funny "newer" ones on right now, though. The Prom being one of them. Youʻll have fun.

Moved off Broadway, but I loved The Play That Goes Wrong

Came here for this - The Play That Goes Wrong is two hours of pure side-splitting laughter, plot not needed!
It's like watching the Three Stooges live, great slapstick humor.

Holy shit, I just saw The Play That Goes Wrong on tour and it was hysterical. I honestly can't remember the last time I've laughed that much! I know there are some people who aren't into that type of humour (my older hairdresser told me she walked out at intermission with several older folks), but god, I thought it was hilarious.

I saw it last year and I loved it! I want to see it again but I’m trying not to see the same shows over lol

I quite enjoyed The Prom. And I was going to say that before even seeing your description. It’s very funny but also has it’s dramatic moments as well. Won’t say more. Enjoy the show.

Hasn’t started previews yet, but Beetlejuice is opening very soon, and it’s supposed to be super raunchy and funny.

Oh yeah I am SO excited for Beetlejuice!

I’m not sure if The Play That Goes Wrong has closed yet, but DAMN as it funny. I’m sure there wasn’t a solid 20 seconds that hadn’t brought the house down in laughter. Would definitely recommend it. It’s also very immersive, as the cast will roam the audience before the show and during intermission and interact with you. The stagedoor is nice because the actors don’t need a rail and all of them came out when I was there. Amazing show.

Yeah it closed January 6th! But it moved Off-Broadway!

Well I wish it happy trails!

Book of Mormon is pretty funny
Second this one!
Definitely, agree! It' pretty funny.
Thirding. I saw it twice, the 2nd time last year. My friends and I practically fell out of our seats
I just recently listened to the album for the first time and I was not expecting it to be like that! I think it’s really funny though, I was actually laughing out loud at parts while listening to it lol. Definitely going to see it this year
