As reported by Variety, Joan Rivers’ estate has given “hundreds of hours of content” to a production and distribution company called Comedy Dynamics, and it’s going to use them to put together a new box set and digital albums of previously unreleased material next year. Rivers died in 2014, and while posthumous albums are nothing new to musical artists, it is slightly more uncommon in the comedy world—if only because not as many comedians are as big as Joan Rivers was and they don’t seem to leave behind massive archives like Prince or Michael Jackson did.
