"You don't stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing." George Bernard Shaw -- And no one takes this to heart more than 74 year old Andy Huggins. Huggins has been a stand-up comic for over 45 years, much of it on the Houston comedy scene. Last year, at the age of 73, Andy Huggins finally got his own comedy special, although he did appear on America's Got Talent in 2018. If you do watch this video, do you find him funny?

His comedy act makes fun of aging, especially dating at an advanced age. One of my friends who is dating at the age of 68, finds this particular bit hilarious, as do I. If you are in a similar situation (dating at the age of 60+) do you relate?

Andy is, of course, not the only comedian making a living in comedy at an advanced age. D'yan Forest is an American comedian, who was named the Oldest Working Female Comedian in the World by the Guinness Book of World Records at age 87. She is now 91, and still working in comedy. If you watch this video, do you enjoy her comedy?
