What is dead pan comedian?

Dead pan comedy is a style of humor that is delivered with a straight face and an emotionless or monotone voice. This style of comedy often involves the telling of unexpected or absurd jokes, which are meant to catch the listener off guard and evoke a reaction through their sheer absurdity. In dead pan comedy, the comedian deliberately avoids showing any signs of amusement or emotion, making the jokes all the more unexpected and effective. Famous dead pan comedians include Bob Newhart, Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg, and Demetri Martin.
