Caloroga Shark Media Helloom. Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News Today, Another look at Vultures twenty twenty four comedians you should know and will know. I did part one last Sunday in the September eighth episode, so I’ll pick up where I left off last time. If you’re just diving in. Every year, Vulture puts out a list of comedians you should know, and they tended bad about I’ll roughly call it fifty percent on these, so it’s a pretty good list regardless.
It’s a good way to uncover some names that you might not know. I had shared the list in the Facebook group, oh, probably two weeks ago at this point Daily Comedy News podcast group, and some of the more active members in the group commented that they didn’t recognize most of the names. I got to say, I think I recognized when I first went through this, maybe six or seven or so. So this is a great job by a Vulture. Let’s start with youngb Mayor.
She’s got a memoir coming out called I’m Laughing because I’m Crying. She describes her appeal as that effect and I’m a failure in fing nuts and also constantly bring it up. Walt says she’s a whirling dervish of off the cough neuroses, our latable queen on TikTok, and a blunt and brash storyteller on the page. She’s a master at taking would be cliches, for example, a front facing comedy video on which she adopts a Korean accent to imitate a Korean uncle, for example, and elevating them into intergenerational character studies through sheer specificity. When Korean uncle takes long cigarette drags while staring at the distance, he’s not just getting a nicotine fix.
He’s remembering the IMF crisis. Then Wiltra has Dropouts Breakouts Vick Michaelis, Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Raka Shankar. They were all streaming on something called Dropout, which spun out of college humor. Walter tells us Brendan Lee Mulligan, the most recognizable of the streamers stars, has become a phenomenon in the online tabletop gaming community thanks to the popularity of his show Dimension twenty, in which he plays tabletop role playing games with a rotating series of guest players as the show’s energetic coast and game master. He builds whimsical wars for participants to play in and breeds life into them with an array of silly voices.
Vic mchaelis known for their chaotic appearances on Game Changer, the premise of which changes every episode, hence its name. Vic serves as the host of Very Important People, a talk show in which Michaela’s interviews comedians who were transformed into characters by makeup artists. And Raka Shankar made the jump from being a sketchwriter and performed at college humor to utility player dropout. She’s competed on Game Changer, created the Chef’s Table parody Gods of Food, and hosted these shows a celebrity slumber party and erotic clubhouse. Kathy Peruso is part of the clown community in Los Angeles.
Clowning is a comedy subgenre and which performers commit to over the top character work marked by borish physicality and purposely exaggerated stupidity. Courtney Peruso got her start at The Groundlings, and then it felt creatively lost when she left that behind. The twenty twelve until La Clown. Natalie Palamedes, who’s amazing and listen to Natalie’s episode on JN marco Seres’s podcast, Very Very Funny Highly recommended. Natalie introduced Courtney to the art of clowning in twenty sixteen.
Brusso spends years developing clown shows, flushing out the character she plays in the worlds they inhabit to probe deeper questions. We are deep here? Is anybody still doing stand up? Chloe Radcliffe. Vultra says one of the lines Chloe Radcliffe often uses during a set that wasn’t a dig at comedians, It’s really hard for me to explain like a theater show as opposed to just telling you a couple one liners from a stand up Chloe Radcliffe.
One of the lines Chloe uses during sets is a fast jab design explain and then quickly dispense with the fact that she’s a birthmark on her face. Chloe says, for those that don’t know it’s a birthmark, that’s what it is. Doesn’t lower myself esteem enough for me to have sex with you. She says it in a different way someone might express that sentiment. Vulture says, it’s a natural way to do the Yes, I’m aware of what I look like joke that most comedians need to do in some form or another.
Radcliffe says her comedy style developed out of her nerdy high school and college career as a speech and debate competitor. She talks about the insecurities and miscommunications that drive her relationships, about her own flaws as a partner, and about how hard it is for straight women to have satisfying sex lives. In one set, she realizes a group of guys in the front rail were Swedish, and she goes into a digression about a Swedish guy she once dated who didn’t take his condom off for an hour and a half. She finds herself chanting in her mind reduce, reuse, recycle. Veronica Slowakowska is on TikTok.
She leaped frogs from one idea of the next. She’ll improvise a song about friends, or invented intense, too committed, fantastical excuse for why her roommate can’t use the bathroom after her. She has some comedy shorts in which she plays a version of herself with no sense of social awareness, a randomly incredible singing voice, and a deep and abiding crush on her roommate. Kyle, played by her podcast co host Kyle Chase. She elevates cringe comedy to high art.
Next up, fans of Daily Comedy News podcast Know This Guy, John Marco SIRESI check out the September seventh interview where I did just about an hour with John Marco. His TikTok has seven hundred thousand followers. Bulcher says he has posters, disease, and the best possible sense. He’s constant developing new material and he’s relentless about getting it out in the world. He’s got a joke about mister Beast and says it’s kind of pathetic filming strangers to build up your YouTube.
Following then his moment drops in a moment of self awareness. The crowd laughs because they get it. Next up on Vulture’s list of comedians you should Know Emil Jakim, Vulture writes some comedians to talk about politics with a sense of gravitas. The humor has an edge of anger. The point of the joke is to clarifying justice.
Emil Woakim’s comedy’s often political and is often about injustice, but his political focus has an unusually gleeful tone to it. A bro pleasure that often lends on a note of happiness or at least a sense of excitement that he’s gotten away with something fun. Vulture then shared a naughty joke about Greta Tuneberg. I don’t even know a way to clean up this particular joke, but like I said, I share the article in the Facebook group Daily Comedies podcast group. Eagle Wit is a trickster.
He creates tension in his jokes by slithering around the different, often contradictory sides of an argument, and he’s a gift for living in pockets of uncertainty. Being infuriated when one of his white friends called Bob Dylan the greatest lyricist of all time, and he says until he actually listened to a Dylan song posing to the audience, you ever lose an argument so hard he become a fan. He then reads some Bob Dylan lyrics to the audience and says, isn’t that beautiful?
And then says, yeah, that’s Jay z f Bob Dylan.
He has a joke about Kanye being president, to the joke being he’s the black president white America deserves. That sets up a story about a time a Heckler believed he was making that argument for real. He told the Heckler, it’s a joke. I’d never vote for Kanye West. He’s my favorite rapper.
I trust him with beats, not the button. I have a question for you, dear listener. You ever been recording her podcast and you’re just scrolling down a list of comedians and you go to the next one and you find out on the fly you had reached the end of the list without reading it. Has that ever happened to you? That happened to somebody recently and they didn’t know what else to do other than to say, that’s your comedy news for today, C Tomorrow.
