comic genius
Brilliantly funny person
Comic genius describes exceptional, seemingly effortless talent for creating humor.
The phrase elevates someone beyond merely funny to suggest an almost inexplicable gift: Chaplin was a comic genius.
It applies to performers, writers, or anyone whose comedic instincts seem innate rather than learned.
The term implies both originality and timing that can't be taught.
