If you’re a bald man, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard some bald jokes in the past, probably at your own expense (although hopefully not maliciously). It may be the case if you’re a bald woman too, although many bald jokes tend to be men having a ‘friendly’ joke with other men.

As a bald man myself, I know I’ve heard a few jokes about being bald, or had some nicknames thrown my way. It’s inevitable.

Best bald comedians

Bald comedians don’t tend to make jokes about baldness too much, although they might reference it. However, there are some incredible comics who are bald, and it’s worth highlighting just how many of the best comedians have no hair.

Bill Burr

Bill Burr is a popular stand-up comedian and comic actor who has performed stand up for 30+ years. He has a number of Netflix specials, as well as appearing in multiple movies and TV shows.

Here’s a clip of his podcast where he talks about going bald in his own, inimitable style:

George Carlin

A highly prominent and respected comedian (with quite the foul mouth), George Carlin was regarded as one of the most influential stand-up comics ever.

But he wasn’t a fan of white men shaving their hair bald, despite his own hair loss, as this old clip shows:

Dave Chapelle

Often ranked as one of the best comedians in the world, Dave Chapelle has worked on sketch comedy and standup as well as several movie and TV roles.

He’s won multiple awards and while he has attracted some controversy, he still has immense popularity both with the public and with other comics.

Jeff Ross

Jeff Ross has sported some… interesting hairstyles in his career as a roast comic, but for a while now he has embraced the bald look. He doesn’t make many jokes about it, though he receives plenty – that’s the nature of roast comedy, which is all about insults.

Dara O’Briain

O’Briain is an Irish comic who is primarily popular in the UK, although he has several world tours under his belt. As well as stand-up, he hosts panel shows and some science shows. He is often the brunt of jokes from other panelists, including about his head – though more about the size than being bald.

Steve Harvey

A TV show host and actor as much as he is a comedian, Harvey is probably best known for his work as Family Feud host, where he often has to deal with questions and jokes about bald heads.

Is it ok to joke about bald people?

Whether it’s OK to joke about bald people depends on the context. You shouldn’t make a joke about someone being bald without knowing them very well and knowing they would take it in the intended spirit. Many people are sensitive about hair loss, and malicious jokes about baldness are discriminatory.

Context really is key here, but if you’re with friends and you enjoy insulting each other for fun, and you know that the bald people in your group aren’t upset about being bald, then it’s OK to make those jokes.

Outside of that, you really shouldn’t. You shouldn’t make jokes about baldness to people you don’t know, or that might be sensitive to their baldness. It’s pretty cruel, when you think about it.

This was covered on a UK morning news programme back in 2019 – there was a debate about whether it was offensive to make jokes about baldness. This came after Gary Lineker, a former soccer player and sports program host, made some jokes about his colleagues during a show.

Here’s the debate:

And here are the jokes, if you want to judge for yourself:

As you can see, the pundits on the receiving end take the jokes in good spirits – one of them can’t even help but laugh.

Summary

Bald jokes have been around a long time, so you’ve probably heard a lot yourself already. But instead of jokes with a punchline, it’s often more about nicknames or baldness insults.

Whether you think these are acceptable is a matter of personal taste. But if someone ever pushes the limits, ask them if they would say the same thing to Jason Statham. Then you’ll see how they really feel!
