Comedian is a 2019 artwork by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. Created in an edition of three (with two artist's proofs), it appears as a fresh banana duct-taped to a wall. As a work of conceptual art, it consists of a certificate of authenticity with detailed diagrams and instructions for its proper display.
Two of the editions were originally sold for US$120,000 each at Art Basel Miami Beach to significant media attention. The third edition was donated to the Guggenheim Museum. In November 2024, an edition of Comedian was acquired by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun for US$6.2 million at Sotheby's in New York. Soon afterward, he ate the banana onstage, comparing it to a crypto asset and saying, "the real value is the concept itself". Sun also stated that he would buy 100,000 bananas from the street vendor that sold the banana used in the artwork.
