Comedy! I’ve looked at the websites of about 75 living English-speaking stand-up comedians that I like or I’m familiar with. A third of these websites are powered by WordPress.
Out of these 25 websites, 6 are powered by Avada and 1 by Divi. Most of these are updated to 5.5 and 5.5.1, though some are surprisingly outdated.

In Conclusion
You would think that most of these entertainers would have websites in a better shape, but that’s not the case.
Russell Brand’s homepage has 113 external Javascript scripts and 42 external stylesheets. That’s just crazy, and not in a good way.
Many of these websites have a terrible performance, something that could be improved in a few hours of work. Is it that people try to charge them too much for services? Could be.
Or maybe they just don’t care too much for their websites? More likely.
P.S. I was desperately hoping that Norm MacDonald would have a WordPress website, just to be able to put that old chunk of coal on the list. No such luck 🙁
