That is the goal of this roundup.
To do this, we put out a call on Twitter asking people for two comedians they already like.
From there, we tried to glean as much as we could from this information.
There were a variety of ways the pairs could be analyzed: What did they talk about?
How did they talk about it are they a big performer or understated?
What are their tones like sarcastic, grumpy, hopeful, sweet?
We hope this helps!
Both these comedians are cerebral and sensitive.
With Kate, you also get notes of a queer sensibility, especially in terms of parodying performance.
If you know Kate, you knowJohn Earlytoo, right?
But let me suggest something different.
I see these names together and its less about their overlap, but blending their styles.
That said, they also both do a lot of scenes where they do the voices of their parents.
Recommendations:Its hard because a lot of the people I might recommend are elsewhere on this list.
Two other comedians Id suggest areEmmy BlotnickandJo Firestone.
But when I look at those names together, a few things jump out at me.
For Nate, its about having an unusual cadence and an undeniable southernness.
For Jen, its about looseness and extreme vulnerability.
Recommendations:I think a person who likes these things might be expecting a certain aesthetic.
They are all doing a more contemporary version of what you love so much with Mitch and Todd.
Seriously, either you like comedy about being a dad or comedy by people who are dads.
Ideally, they write good, strong, clean jokes.
Recommendations:A lot of comedians are actually dads, if you might believe it.
If so, they all talk about it in their act, at least a little bit.
But because the palate of their comedy is so vast, there is a lot you might be into.
You have to knowNeal Brennan, right?
Did you know he has a secret special in NetflixsComedians of the Worldseries?
Now, its possible you like these two for their tendency to push the boundaries of acceptable speech.
For a more under-the-radar button pusher, Id suggestTim Dillon.
Both are deft at tackling difficult subjects, especially around race.
They are both afraid to get capital-p Political.
Recommendations:This is another one whereRoy Wood Jr.would fit.
Hell, Roy is so good, hed fit in a lot of these.
Aside from Roy, Id check outGina Yashere,Cristela Alonzo,Donnell Rawlings,andMs.
Also, if you havent checked him out, theres this upcoming guy you might like namedChris Rock.
We love a specific request.
Recommendations:As a generally sad person, I love this one.
There is a ton of great stand-up that has dealt with loss.
Also,Marc MaronsNetflix specialToo Real(not to mention all of his career) is especially death-obsessed.
And,of course,Gary Gulmansrecent HBO specialTheGreat Depreshand basically everything from the queen,Maria Bamford.
John and Nikki are both very good performers, but theyre undeniably great joke writers first.
Nikkis ability to think about and write about sex is really unparalleled.
So what would it look like for someone who took that but had more of Johns style?
Recommendations:I wont lie, we considered puttingJacqueline Novakin a lot of these Mulaney items.
They are very different comedians, but how they use language has a similar quality.
Maybe it comes from the fact that they went to college together and were on the same improv team.
that you, my humble Mulaney and Glaser fan, will absolutely fucking die for.
Still, she has plenty of material out there that youll also love.
Or maybe what you want is a comedian like Nikki who has an old-timey radio voice like John does.
Jacqueline has that covered, butanotheroption for you would beRachel Feinstein.
Both have this gruffness that covers up something deeper and sweeter.
Recommendations:Jackie Kashian(Wisconsin) feels right here.
Shes also not from the Midwest, but I think shed scratch the same itch.
Recommendations:Haveyou seenLil Rel Howerysrecent HBO special?
Because wow, it isextremelyup your alley.
But actually, Silvestris brand of painful, hilarious self-consciousness is closer toJenny Slate.
They are also good friends!
Recommendations:Theres a ton.
Did you knowDoug Stanhopesspecials are available through Amazon Prime Video?Joey Diaztoo.
But for some newer, unflinchingly themselves comedians, you might digLiza Treyger,Yamaneika Saunders, andJessica Kirson.
She is also sillier!
Recommendations:Three comedians came to mind:Sam Jay,Marina Franklin, andAlice Wetterlund.
They are different, but all exhibit a certain fearlessness.
Sam has been compared to Patrice throughout her career.
Alice is closer to Michelle, but is not afraid to be more radical about her feminism.
Theyre both smart joke writers while also being dynamic, physical performers.
They have fun or silly elements to their acts, but they also have some bite on social issues.
They are also both just really cool.
One more who comes to mind isJoe Mande, especially if youre attracted to Chelsea and Alis sardonic nature.
If thats not enough, may I suggest the2 Dope Queensspecials?
You have a lot!
