All attributes are optional.

{| class="wikitable"
! style="text-align: left" | Parameter
! style="text-align: left" | Explanation
|-
| '''<code>child</code>'''
|
|-
| '''<code>pre-nominals</code>'''
| To appear on the line above the person's name. This is for things like <code><nowiki>|pre-nominals=Sir</nowiki></code> – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as knighthoods and titles of nobility; do not use it for routine things like "{{!mxt|[[Dr.]]}}" or "{{!mxt|[[Ms.]]}}"
|-
| '''<code>name</code>'''
| Common name of the person (defaults to article name if left blank; provide {{para|birth_name}} (below) if different from {{para|name}}). If middle initials are specified (or implied) by the lead of the article, and are not specified separately in the {{para|birth_name}} parameter, include them here.  {{em|Do not put honorifics or alternative names in this parameter.}} There are separate parameters for these things, covered below.
|-
| '''<code>post-nominals</code>'''
| To appear on the line below the person's name. This is for things like <code><nowiki>|post-nominals=[[Officer of the Order of the British Empire|OBE]]</nowiki></code> – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as national orders and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "{{!mxt|[[Bachelor of arts|BA]]}}". It is permissible but not required to use the {{tlx|post-nominals}} template inside this parameter; doing so requires {{tlx|post-nominals|size{{=}}100|...}}. 
|-
| '''<code>abovestyle</code>'''
|
|-
| '''<code>image</code>'''
| Image name. Use just the image name without the {{samp|File:}} or {{samp|Image:}} prefix: {{kbd|abc.jpg}}, {{kbd|xpz.png}}, {{kbd|123.gif}}, etc. If an image is desired but not available, one may add {{kbd|yes}} to the {{para|needs-photo}} parameter of the {{tlx|WikiProject Biography}} on the talk page. If no image is available yet, [[Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Image placeholders|do not use an image placeholder]].
|-
| '''<code>image_size</code>'''
| Size to display image: {{kbd|200px}} (set width), {{kbd|x300px}} (set height), or {{kbd|200x300px}} (max width & max height). If empty or omitted, this defaults to <code>frameless</code> (default is {{samp|220px}}, but logged in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size). This parameter should not normally need to be set.
|-
| '''<code>alt</code>'''
| Alt text for image, for visually impaired readers. {{crossref|See [[WP:ALT]]}}.
|-
| '''<code>caption</code>'''
| Caption for image, if needed. Try to include date of photo and name of the photographer.
|-
| '''<code>pseudonym</code>'''
| Any of the comedian's aliases or pen names.
|-
| '''<code>birth_name</code>'''
| Name at birth; only use if different from the value in {{para|name}}.
|- 
| '''<code>native_name</code>'''
| Name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{tlx|Plain list}} or {{tlx|Unbulleted list}}
|- 
| '''<code>native_name_lang</code>'''
| [[ISO 639-2]] language code e.g. {{kbd|fr}} for French. If more than one, use {{tlx|lang}} instead
|-
| '''<code>birth_date</code>'''
| Date of birth: {{tl|birth date and age}} (if living) or {{tlx|birth date}} (if dead).  {{crossref|See [[Template:Birth date and age/doc]] for details on usage.}} If only a year of birth is known, or age as of a certain date, consider using {{tlx|birth year and age}} or {{tl|birth based on age as of date}}.
|-
| '''<code>birth_place</code>'''
| Place of birth: city, administrative region, sovereign state. Use the name of the birth place at the time of birth, e.g.: Saigon (prior to 1976), Ho Chi Minh City (post 1976). [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (icons)#Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth, residence, or death|Do not use a flag template]].
|-
| '''<code>death_date</code>'''
| Date of death: {{tl|death date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{tlx|death date}} (if birth date unknown). {{crossref|See [[Template:Death date/doc]] for details on usage.}} If exact dates are unknown, consider using {{tlx|death year and age}}.
|-
| '''<code>death_place</code>'''
| Place of death: city, administrative region, sovereign state. Note: [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (icons)#Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth, residence, or death|Do not use a flag template]]. Use the name of the death place at the time of death, e.g.: {{kbd|Saigon}} (prior to 1976) or {{kbd|Ho Chi Minh City}} (post 1976)

| 
|-
| '''<code>years_active</code>'''
| Date range in years during which the comedian was active in their mediums, and/or other activity for which they are notable. Use the format {{kbd|1950–2000}}, or {{kbd|1970–present}} if the comedian is still active (note the use of an [[WP:ENDASH|en dash]], not hyphen). If no dates of birth and/or death are known for the comedian, only a ''[[floruit]]'' date range, this parameter can be used for it. If approximate (''[[wikt:circa#English|circa]]'') dates are known for either or both, put them in the {{para|birth_date}} and {{para|death_date}} parameters.
