- John Kiernan was active as a stand-up comedian in the 1980s and 1990s. His collection of comedy materials dates from 1986 to 1994 and consists primarily of periodicals. The collection contains issues of Comedy USA (1986-1989); Comedy USA Newswire (1987-1991); Just for Laughs: The Comedy Newspaper (1986-1994); Stand Up, the Professional Comedians Association (PCA) newsletter (1986-1994); and Laughtrack: The Comedy Audience Magazine (1989-1990), which includes performance calendars for the Treehouse Comedy Club in Connecticut.
