# AARP Movies for Grownups Award for Best Comedy

The AARP Movies for Grownups Award for Best Comedy was one of the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards presented annually by the AARP. The award honored the best comedy in a given year made by or featuring artists over the age of 50. The first award for Best Comedy was given to The Producers at AARP's first in-person awards ceremony in 2006.
In 2017, the AARP changed the category name to Best Comedy/Musical for just one year, discontinuing the award before the next year's ceremony.
