Comedy Records began on July 10, 2010 in Toronto, Canada and was founded by former CFNY-FM personality, Barry Taylor.

After being let go from his on-air position in 2009,[2] Taylor began to pursue a career in stand up comedy.

One of his early projects was recording a compilation album with ten other up and coming Toronto-based comedians.

[4] In November 2014 Taylor partnered with one of the original Comedy Records comedians, Tim Golden to expand the label to the United States.

[7] The label currently manages a select group of comedians and celebrated their ten year anniversary by pressing a vinyl compilation album featuring their roster that can otherwise only be heard on SiriusXM.
