Meanwhile, Instagram and Tik Tok now churn out some of the most consistently talented performers on the internet. There's never been more comedy to see, and it can be difficult to train your algorithm toward the undiscovered treasures.
So to hell with the algorithm, we say, and turn instead to Vulture's 11th annual roundup of "Comedians You Should and Will Know." This year's list paints a portrait of a world where improv is so back, everything old (CollegeHumor, clowning, jokes with actual punch lines) is new again, and emerging comics crush like headliners behind their own paywalled gardens. One upside to the clip-based comedy economy? The best comics' jokes are memorable-immediate calling cards for who they are as artists-and, most of all, tight. Here are the two dozen comedians who, according to more than 100 industry insiders, are set to become tomorrow's superstars.
Sabrina Brier
>> Videos in which Brier plays "that friend" have become a genre unto themselves. In each, she starts off presenting as chill, hot, and put together until she encounters a specific social dynamic that reveals the needy, anxious, unself-aware mess underneath. It's not just the relatability of her behavioral observations that helps this persona connect with her massive audience; it's the palpable way she revels in the squirmy grotesquerie.
There are entire cringe compilations of her uttering the single syllable "oh."
Brandi Denise
>>> Denise's signature stand-up bit centers on her previous career as a social worker, when her clients would often flirt with her.
