The Shorty Awards honor the best of social media and digital. View this season's finalists!

From the 12th Annual Shorty Awards Best in Comedy

Life is serious, and sometimes the best way to analyze a real-world issue is through comedy. Or sometimes it just helps to escape through laughter. Either way, these comedians have used their platforms to test out bits, characters and showcase their work on stage or on screen. These nominees are using social media to help spread their comedy and further impact the world.

If you’re a brand looking for recognition for your use of social media in this space, enter the Best in Entertainment Shorty Award.
