Speaker 1: Kalaroga, Shark Media, Helloon, Johnny Mack with Your Daily Comedy
Speaker 1: New is. One of the most interesting lists that comes
Speaker 1: out every year is from Vulture. It is the Comedians
Speaker 1: You Should and Will Know List. This year it is
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four's Comedians You Should and Will Know List
Speaker 1: two dozen of tomorrow's stand up sketching online comedy superstars,
Speaker 1: according to industry insiders. Not just to add a curiosity,
Speaker 1: let's look at a twenty twenty three's list to see
Speaker 1: how good they do. All Right, So from twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three Fumi Abe that was a good call. He had
Speaker 1: a good year. Brian Baje had a good year. Ralph
Speaker 1: Barbosa for sure. Charlie Bartley and Natalie Roger Lateman still
Speaker 1: not sure who they are all right? Three and one
Speaker 1: Sophie Bottle sure four and one Curtis Cook, Katrina Davis,
Speaker 1: Stavros Hakki has had a monster year. Rob Hayes. This
Speaker 1: is the twenty three list. Jordan Jensen, Andrea Jin, Rachel Kayley,
Speaker 1: Eddie Modica, Opie A La Baju, Nimesh Patel had a
Speaker 1: pretty good year. Richard Perez, Jordan Temple, Asha Ward, August White,
Speaker 1: Maggie Winters, Sabrina Wu cut through Zach Zimmerman, cut through
Speaker 1: Sophie Zucker, kind of cut through Zach Zucker. So all right,
Speaker 1: from last year, I don't know seven or eight. That'll
Speaker 1: ballpark how we're going to do here? Wulta writes, the
Speaker 1: comedy industry is undergoing a metamorphosis in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Name brand comedy venues are opening new locations. Local venues
Speaker 1: are being brought out by mega corporations and streaming service.
Speaker 1: Home comedy festivals are usurping the old fashioned ones. With
Speaker 1: so much going on, the mattmosphere is sure to be
Speaker 1: rife with hacks and phonies, but it's also full of
Speaker 1: undiscovered treasures. So the hell with the algorithm, Let's do
Speaker 1: Vultures eleventh annual round up of Comedians you should and
Speaker 1: Will know, After polling more than one hundred industry insiders,
Speaker 1: including TV execs from streaming and linear TV, bookers for clubs,
Speaker 1: artistic directors from comedy theaters, indie comedy producers, podcast network heads,
Speaker 1: top brass anime studios, terrestrial radio chiefs, comedy record label execs,
Speaker 1: comedy festival programmers, comedy historians, live show photographers and performers
Speaker 1: featured on last year's list, They were left with a
Speaker 1: pool of more than two hundred comedians. From there, Vulture
Speaker 1: had to grapple with some questions. Which names came up
Speaker 1: over and over again, Who stood out from the crowd work,
Speaker 1: who's on the rise to stardom, and who will be
Speaker 1: the masterminds of our future favorite TV shows and stand
Speaker 1: up specials. In alphabetical order by surname. Sabrina Briar, Ulture
Speaker 1: tells us Sabrina Briar's face can turn the most unremarkable
Speaker 1: life experience into a meum in case in point, the
Speaker 1: way your eyes bug out and she juts her body
Speaker 1: forward like a blondea delaphosaurus when she says her Memorial
Speaker 1: Day weekend was amazing except for her raging uti. It's
Speaker 1: not just the relatability of her behavioral observations that helps
Speaker 1: this persona connect with her massive online audience. It's the
Speaker 1: palpable way she revels in the squirmy, grotesque rie. There
Speaker 1: were entire cringe compilations of her uttering the single syllable,
Speaker 1: Oh number two, Sam Campbell, Sam's been buzzing, You've heard
Speaker 1: mention Sam. Over the years, here, especially when we talk
Speaker 1: about the International Festival's Vulture Rites and Sam Campbell's twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two solo show, Comedy Show, winner of the prestigious
Speaker 1: Best Comedy Show awarded Fringe, The comedian introduced his brand
Speaker 1: of comic absurdism to the audience with the tongue in
Speaker 1: cheek one liner, my mind is a prison full of
Speaker 1: crazy ideas, and I think there's going to be a
Speaker 1: jail break. As Campbell has matured as a performer, he's
Speaker 1: grown more depth to translating a style from mainstream audiences.
Speaker 1: Campbell's eccentricities are palpable but never alienating. In one twenty
Speaker 1: one sketch, he plays a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend's discriminatory
Speaker 1: parents for the first time, but their instant dislike of
Speaker 1: him isn't rooted in religious or racial prejudice. They simply
Speaker 1: can't get past the fact that he's thirty percent transparent.
Speaker 1: Third up Nico Carney. Once Nico gets to the part
Speaker 1: of his set where he reveals that he was a
Speaker 1: Division one athlete in college, everything clicks in a place
Speaker 1: only years of early morning drills and after school practice
Speaker 1: leads to stand up. That's this consistent smooth and fine
Speaker 1: tune to kill. Carney starts a set with an introduction
Speaker 1: to his trans identity. People are very curious about trans people.
Speaker 1: People ask me sometimes, how did you know? When did
Speaker 1: you know? It happened to me? The same way it
Speaker 1: happens to all of us. Caitln Jinner bit me, that's
Speaker 1: a great joke. Number four Aaron Chen. Some comedians tride
Speaker 1: on stage with a sense of grandiosity and expansiveness. Chen stands,
Speaker 1: blinks calmly, and waits for the audience to recalibrate to
Speaker 1: his measured pace. Chen says he took an uber to
Speaker 1: the show and the driver asked if Chen minded if
Speaker 1: he talked to a friend. Chen says, of course, and
Speaker 1: thank you for considering me a friend. I want it
Speaker 1: way up to four. Georgia severus. George says, I can't
Speaker 1: believe I fell for orange wine for three years. It's
Speaker 1: because I have too much faith in food professionals, because
Speaker 1: of my own progressive politics. Saveria says a gay, glasses wearing,
Speaker 1: cynical Greek man who in the stand up world is
Speaker 1: wildly over educated. Stanford Mt Alum while, as he put
Speaker 1: it to podcast co hosts Sam Taggart. I'm default either bitchy, condescending,
Speaker 1: or rude. He imagines what it would be like to
Speaker 1: have a beautiful daughter who hates him. He describes attending
Speaker 1: progressive straight weddings. There's a ChEls with blue hair, the
Speaker 1: bride is being walked down the aisle by a random lesbian,
Speaker 1: and the bride's dress is ripped to represent our broken
Speaker 1: justice system. That sounds really funny. Francesca Duva has the
Speaker 1: pop acumen of a Swedish hit maker and the comedic
Speaker 1: sensibility of an entire thirty rock writer's room. She could
Speaker 1: probably have a lucrative career writing five songs for an
Speaker 1: episode of Netflix reality shows. Instead, she creates the best
Speaker 1: musical comedy in Brooklyn, which is saying something in a
Speaker 1: burrow that has more musical comedians per capita than doctors.
Speaker 1: A Mary poppins on Popper's song about nanny, ing the
Speaker 1: lyrics I am your nanny and I will be till
Speaker 1: I die. I'll never leave you even after I die,
Speaker 1: I'll be your ghost nanny finds her voicing a little
Speaker 1: Cockney boy with a budding foot fetish, a song about
Speaker 1: wanting to play Joseph and the Catholic School kindergarten nativity
Speaker 1: play functions as an exploration of the way she struggled
Speaker 1: with being othered as a kid, But it also ends
Speaker 1: with another kid getting crushed by a cross and a
Speaker 1: pitch perfect Shakira impression. What do we have to number
Speaker 1: six here? Brandy Denise brandy signature standup bit centers on
Speaker 1: her previous career as a social worker when she says she'd
Speaker 1: often get hit on by her clients. You gotta have
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence to hit on your social worker.
Speaker 1: After the interview, you just told me you live in
Speaker 1: an underpass. You haven't had a job. You can't feed you.
Speaker 1: I know you can't feed me. Malik Ali sal how
Speaker 1: many comedians can say their journey ins to the performing
Speaker 1: arts began with their high school teacher attempting to pilot
Speaker 1: a theater program just to nurture their talents. Malik delivered
Speaker 1: book reports at his Islamic private school in Calgary with
Speaker 1: so much theatrical verb that one kind teacher was inspired
Speaker 1: to take up his cause. It wasn't long before the
Speaker 1: program was shut down by another teacher out of an
Speaker 1: abundance of religious precaution. He impersonates one such teacher with
Speaker 1: a flare for character work. It says, when you see
Speaker 1: the power of a laha on the day of judgment, brother,
Speaker 1: he will not be laughing. Continuing with Vulture's Best New
Speaker 1: Comedians at twenty twenty four, are up to Roz Hernandez.
Speaker 1: Roz is loud, indignant, and ready to entrap both spirits
Speaker 1: and audience members, and her stand up, she leads audience
Speaker 1: members down a cliff by coaxing them into saying the
Speaker 1: other name for a water spritzer, which is mister, then
Speaker 1: getting offended that they misgendered her. Part of the fun
Speaker 1: of Hernandez's act is how her joyfully exuberanto style so
Speaker 1: directly contrasts her connection with the macabre. The classic hernanage
Speaker 1: image is of her in a zebra print coat with
Speaker 1: a blue feather collar, recapping how a ghost ruined her
Speaker 1: hookup by turning a lights on what her makeup wasn't done.
Speaker 1: Those shady ass ghost said, sir, I want you to
Speaker 1: see what you've signed up for. That sounds fun and different.
Speaker 1: Ros Hernandez. There, all right, Skyler Higley, I think we're
Speaker 1: up to number eight here, if I'm counting correctly, and
Speaker 1: I'm probably not. Higgiley grew up in Utah as a
Speaker 1: black child of white Mormon parents. This is, as Higgley
Speaker 1: puts it on stage, half of What's wrong with Him.
Speaker 1: He has a joke about being high on acid while
Speaker 1: writing Public Transportation and realizing a guy near him has
Speaker 1: his whole ass hanging out. I don't want to look
Speaker 1: at ass. I want to look at a beautiful sunset.
Speaker 1: I want to see a rainbow. But because I was tripping,
Speaker 1: I realize I'm not looking at ass. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: billions and billions of cells made up of billions and
Speaker 1: billions of atoms. That ass is amazing. Thats good. Chloe
Speaker 1: Hilliard reached six foot one by the age of twelve.
Speaker 1: Her sense of humor stamps from being the awkward big
Speaker 1: girl at plenty of time to observe others. First day
Speaker 1: of high school, I walked into this sh the teacher's here.
Speaker 1: That's great. Another bit LA's origin story is the gold Rush.
Speaker 1: They were like, I'm going to be the one to
Speaker 1: find a nugget of gold and change my family's life forever.
Speaker 1: That's why today everyone in law say Liss is delusional.
Speaker 1: Hilliard wrote for a Black Lady's Sketch Show, and wrote
Speaker 1: F Your Diet, which was awarded Best Comedy Book in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty A Leslie laugh when we have to number
Speaker 1: ten here or so I'm trying to do twelve. I
Speaker 1: realize I can't do twenty four today. In her twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three Netflix verified stand upset, Leslie said, I'm thirty
Speaker 1: six years old. I have a bedtime decisions to make.
Speaker 1: I don't have a night. You need to give me
Speaker 1: information that matters to me. All I need to see
Speaker 1: is your manhood, clean that up and your paycheck. When
Speaker 1: I was younger, I used to be sad about being single.
Speaker 1: Now I'm angry. I feel like when I find him,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like a mom whose kid got lost
Speaker 1: at the grocery store. Like where you've been get in
Speaker 1: the car. That was so embarrassing. Everybody was staring at me.
Speaker 1: Mandw all caps M, A and DL, the Atlantic comedian
Speaker 1: possesses a rare Norm MacDonald like quality, where in his
Speaker 1: natural cadence, parlance, and body language make the journeys to
Speaker 1: his punchlines as rewarding as the punch lines themselves. All
Speaker 1: kinetic energy and the little giggles. He leans on animated
Speaker 1: stories and sprawling bits that build momentum as they unravel.
Speaker 1: Mendal's work caught the attention of John mulaney, who had
Speaker 1: him open for Everybody's in La That's Interesting. He also
Speaker 1: opened for Melanie and the Netflix's Joke Show at the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Bowl. And if I counted right, this is number
Speaker 1: twelve Gavin Mattz, who says, I'm not masculine. I'm just
Speaker 1: regular toxic. My toxicity has no masculinity. It's hard to articulate.
Speaker 1: He had a joke about police brutality that he did
Speaker 1: at the Comedy Seller. It's hard to articulate that you're
Speaker 1: intellectually insecure when you're as dumb as hell. That's why
Speaker 1: I understand why police gets so violent. As soon as
Speaker 1: they step on a college campus, they're like, ah, everybody
Speaker 1: here reads, I gotta start hating somebody. Older people will
Speaker 1: be like, there's two genders. How would you know that
Speaker 1: you have six remotes? You have more remotes than their genders.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. All right, that's twelve for today
Speaker 1: or eleven or thirteen? You tell me I didn't count.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll continue this tomorrow, right, so that's your comedy
Speaker 1: news for today. If you enjoy the show, tell a
Speaker 1: friend about it, and we'll do something tomorrow. See then,
