If contemporary professional comedians were magically taken to the Paleolichic, they'd probably work much earlier in the day. Back then, there were no Late Night Shows or well-lit comedy clubs.
They'd be giving a show in front of a campfire. During times with natural light everyone would be too busy gathering food to survive to spend time listening to a comedy show
I'm imaging Seinfield-like observational comedy but with other themes. "Hunter-gathering? What's the deal? I do all the gathering and none of the hunting!"

I feel like you wasted your shower thinking time

We hear you. We see you. We feel you.
At snek_boi, we tend to hold ourselves to pretty good standards. We are sorry to hear that your experience with us was anything less than alright.
We want to ensure our time in the shower is used as efficiently as possible. No dilly-dallying. No half-baked thoughts. In and out. Swish and flick.
Rest assured, we are escalating this internally to ensure a swift resolution.
As a gesture of goodwill, have a good one.

People telling jokes around the at night seems like a very ancient human tradition.

And even if they did have clubs, they're not speaking the same language, so no one would get the jokes

They surely did have clubs in paleolith.

I think they were bigger on spears though.

Yeah, comedians would be hard pressed to compete with Britney.

I laugh at jokes I didn't hear if the one who says them is smiling or laughing, so I wouldn't be so sure

If they did speak the same language what jokes could they tell that would be relatable?
Dick and fart jokes maybe?

I'm struggling with Richard Pryor shit jokes. "You ever have a shit that sticks to the toilet bowl?"
"Boo! Grog not know what toilet bowl is. Don't like intellectual humour."

They'd probably die long before they had a chance to try working.

Idk, they're going to the Paleolichic era. They might survive if they're sent back in some great outfits.

Time to get out, you're running up a bill
