Need a laugh amid coronavirus blues? We enlisted these 10 Chicago comics to give you one.

They say tragedy plus time equals comedy. Well, it hasn’t taken long for some lighter sides to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic.

The radical lifestyle changes brought on by social distancing have provided ample fodder for humor, as anyone who follows memes or watches late-night TV comics knows. And every laugh is a welcome break from the boredom, or the fear, or the grief.

That’s why the Sun-Times asked 10 Chicago comedians to tell us their best jokes from this bizarre moment of sheltering-in-place.

Don’t worry: They’re pretty much safe for the workplace — not that many of us are at a workplace anyway.

So here’s our cavalcade of quarantined comedians. Please give them a nice — and thoroughly washed — hand.
