Los Angeles Hottest Young Comics
This article covers the new faces of Los Angeles stand up comedy. Sure we all know the big stars, but this guide digs deeper to expose stand up comedians with a tone of talent that are poised to be the next big thing. If you want to know who is going to make you laugh in the LA comedy scene you are reading the right article.
The phrase up and coming won’t apply to stand up comedian Kyle Kinane much longer. He’s already taped an episode of Comedy Central presents that is set to air this year, and spent the entire summer touring as an opening act for Patton Oswalt. A fixture in the LA comedy scene, Kyle originally started performing stand up comedy in Chicago before making the journey west and establishing himself as an LA comedy star. One of the most consistent comedians in the business, if you are looking for some good laughs check out his debut cd ‘Death of the Party’.
Jon Huck is another native Chicago comedian breaking through in the LA comedy scene. If he seems familiar you probably recognize him from one of his many appearances in national commercials. A staple at every Los Angeles comedy venue, Jon Huck’s unique style plays well in LA. If you are looking for some funny video clips of Jon Huck, make sure to check out his Live at Gotham appearance that aired on Comedy Central.
Chicago comedians aren’t the only ones making noise in the LA comedy scene. A female from the Boston area Danielle Stewart is a stand up comedian making waves in the Los Angeles comedy world. Two words come to mind when describing Danielle Stewart, sexy and funny. Danielle isn’t afraid to tackle taboo subjects on stage, and often discusses her sobriety and her sex life on stage. ‘It’s Just Sex’ is Danielle’s popular video blog which takes a comedic spin on her sex life.
Like Danielle, Shannon Hatch is a comedienne originally from the East Coast who has been performing comedy in Los Angeles for years now. Plenty of comedians fancy themselves as pop culture experts, but Shannon Hatch’s ability to skewer reality show stars is truly unique. Comedians sometimes have trouble finding their voice, but Shannon’s dialed in with her snarky style. The stand up stage isn’t the only place Shannon gets laughs, she also released a hilarious video of her getting her first bikini wax.
Cornell Reid was recently nominated for funniest Twitter by Punchline Magazine (@corneezy). His twitter account may be very funny, but it pales in comparison to his live performances. A NorCal native Cornell Reid has been bringing his relaxed style to comedy shows in LA for years now and his performance reminds you of the funny guy at the lunch table in high school. Cornell Reid is also one of the founding fathers of the Comedy Garage, a legendary underground Los Angeles comedy show and house party where comedians come to perform live in a garage.
A fellow Comedy Garage founding father Paul Danke is emerging as a fan favorite in the Los Angeles comedy circuit. Paul Danke performs at the hippest underground shows for comedians, shows like Tiger Lilly, Holy F!@k and 12 Shiny Nickels. Paul Danke trained at the prestigious Groundlings comedy theater, and his fun campy style is what you think of when you think comedy in Los Angeles. Witstream a service which highlights the funniest tweets from comedians, often features the work of Paul Danke.
His sketch group Good Neighbor has gotten Nick Rutherford tons of YouTube views online. While many people may know Nick from his sketch comedy group, his work as a stand up comedian should not be missed. Nick’s adventurous act outs and razor sharp insights having him performing all over the LA comedy circuit.
These aren’t the only emerging comedians in Los Angeles, every week new comedians move to the city and add to the ever expanding talent pool of stand up comedians based in Los Angeles. The Laugh Factory, the Comedy Store and the Hollywood Improv are all great places to go and check out these fresh faces as well as see some more established acts.
