About this album

Comedy is a polished late-1980s pop-rock statement from Black, the project of singer-songwriter Colin Vearncombe. Released in 1988, it refines his gift for bittersweet melody, wry lyricism and sleek studio craft, balancing radio-ready hooks with a thoughtful, emotionally guarded tone. The album moves between bright synth-pop textures and guitar-led pop, giving songs like The Big One and I Can Laugh About It Now a sharp, modern edge while keeping the focus on Vearncombe’s distinctive voice. Arriving after his breakthrough success, Comedy confirmed Black as a sophisticated songwriter able to turn polished mainstream production into something personal and understated.
