| 20 STAND-UPS TO KEEP AN EYE ON IN 2026 |
| L-R: Vittorio Angelone, Mary Beth Barone, Aaron Weber, Jay Jurden, Jenny Tian, Erica Rhodes, Usama Siddiquee, Leah Rudick, and Rachel Scanlon (Getty/Anthony Avellano for Deadline/Getty/Jimmy Cambridge/Getty/Need Menear/Courtesy) | The time has finally come: We're back with our year-end list on the up-and-coming comics you need to know. It's been another hugely dynamic year for comedy, with 29 stand-up specials from Netflix, 12 originals (and 30 acquired titles) from Hulu, seven from HBO, and around the same from Prime Video. That's not to mention a few from Peacock, all the specials put out through specialty streamers like Dropout and Veeps, the hundreds put out annually on YouTube, and those released direct to consumer on comedians' websites. Just for Laughs rebounded from bankruptcy, and months later, comics courted controversy by participating in the inaugural Riyadh Comedy Festival, on which we were first to report. (2025 was also a big year in comedy for Deadline, specifically, with the launch of this newsletter and our companion podcast.) More recently, on the events front, Skankfest, the beloved comedy festival of Luis J. Gomez, Rebecca Trent, and Christine Evans, came to New Orleans for the first time. Freakier Friday was a bright spot for theatrical comedy with other $153.2 million worldwide, amid otherwise so-so results for films not based on hugely popular Disney characters. Straight-to-streaming comedic features were quite uninspired on the whole, though shows like The Studio and Hacks made it a great year for TV comedy. In times of continuing, dramatic show biz contraction, there were still plenty of development stories to go around with regard to comedy in film and television, so hope springs eternal for its future. And amidst Hollywood's highs and lows, one thing remains true: the amount of great comedic talent on hand is overwhelming. (In fact, after combing through 50-60 pages of submissions in the process of putting together this list, I pushed the total we're highlighting up by five from last year — to 20.) As was the case last year, our focus was on strong joke writers with original voices. At a time where there are plenty of incredibly successful digital creators in comedy, who also do stand-up, we chose to focus on artists who are stand-ups before all else. We considered neither comedy groups, nor comics who have had the benefit of a game-changing opportunity like Saturday Night Live. We also tried to avoid stand-ups who have featured repeatedly on other lists — because what's the point of regurgitating? With that said, here's our list of up-and-coming talents to know, in alphabetical order. |
| Vittorio Angelone (Rebecca Need-Menear) |
Vittorio Angelone is one of two killer Irish comics who have made the list this year, the other being a creative partner of his…we'll get to that later. A 2025 JFL New Face, Angelone grew up in Belfast and began working as a stand-up after moving to London for a period to train as a classical musician. Since 2018, Angelone has amassed an audience of over half a million followers across all platforms with stand-up clips, podcasts and sketches amassing millions of views online. After selling out his 2022 debut run at the Edinburgh Fringe with his show Translations and being nominated for Best Newcomer at the Dave Comedy Awards, he's gone on to sell out every show he's done at the Fringe since, including selling over 6,000 tickets across 30 shows at this year's edition of the festival. He released Translations as his first hour special in 2023 and has since then seen it rack up over 200k views on YouTube. On his last tour, Who Do You Think You Are? I Am, Angelone sold 40,000 tickets over 150 shows across the UK, U.S., Canada, Ireland, Australia and the Middle East. He co-hosts the hit podcast Mike & Vittorio's Guide to Parenting, co-created the viral YouTube show Fin vs The Internet, and has been seen on BBC One, Channel 4, and as a regular guest and guest co-host of the Have a Word Podcast.

| Mary Beth Barone (Elizabeth Renstrom) |
A multi-hyphenate on the rise, Mary Beth Barone just inked a deal for Netflix to release her first hour-long comedy special, Galaxy Brain, as we told you first. She'll tape it at the Skirball in New York City on March 19. Known for her self-aware, darkly post-modern material, Barone previously self-released the 40-minute special Thought Provoking, which has amassed 323K views since April 2024. She's also a writer and actor who worked in both of those capacities on Overcompensating, the hit comedy series from Benito Skinner, Amazon MGM Studios and A24, which premiered on Prime Video in May and has been renewed for a second season. Prior to her work there, she played a lead role in The Anne Frank Gift Shop, which was shortlisted for an Oscar in the Live-Action Short category, also appearing in Netflix's Black Mirror and That Damn Michael Che on HBO Max. Currently bringing her new Pillow Talk Tour across the U.S. and Canada, Barone has headlined sold-out shows at the New York Comedy Festival, Netflix Is a Joke Fest, and the Edinburgh Fringe. She's performed twice as a stand-up on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and co-hosts the popular podcast Ride, alongside Overcompensating's Skinner, for Dear Media. Barone is also the creator and star of the live show Drag His Ass, which is in development at Netflix and will be produced by Judd Apatow. Her feature script You're My Best Friend made The Black List in 2022. Reps: UTA; Entertainment 360; Jackoway Austen Tyerman |
| Rafi Bastos (James Webber) |
A Brazilian-American stand-up considered a pioneer of his home country's modern comedy movement, Rafi Bastos is ready for his breakout stateside after taking to YouTube in January with Unfamiliar Territory, his first English-language special, which has accrued over 1.2M views. In a career spanning multiple decades, Bastos has become a household name in Brazil, subsequently setting his sights on breaking out in the English-speaking market — successfully building an audience spanning the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Canada, Australia, Asia and beyond. Once recognized as the most influential person on Twitter by the independent research firm Twitalyzer — and subsequently, by the New York Times — Bastos currently has a following of nearly 18 million across social platforms. He performs in both English and Portuguese and first broke out in Brazil as host of the International Emmy Award-nominated late-night juggernaut CQC, serving as the country's answer to The Daily Show. Over the years, Bastos has also starred in movies and created multiple hit television series in Brazil, worked as a field reporter, and hosted reality shows like Ultimate Beastmaster for Netflix. Repeatedly courting controversy by challenging Brazil's oppressive laws surrounding freedom of speech, he also founded Comedians, Brazil's first ever dedicated stand-up club, catalyzing the infrastructure that produced the country's current generation of comedy stars. Since relocating to the U.S., Bastos has achieved a rare feat: becoming one of the most watched and shared comedians in the country without relying on traditional gatekeepers. His English-language stand-up clips have amassed hundreds of millions of views across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, and he continues to expand his footprint globally. Reps: Gersh; Cohen & Gardner |
| Ryan Davis (Picture Studios) |
Ryan Davis is a Charlotte, NC native who debuted his latest stand-up special, Under-Rated, exclusively on the YouTube channel of comedian Ali Siddiq in October, seeing it quickly rack up over 2.3 million views. Boasting 767K followers on Instagram, 174K on Threads, and 184.5K on TikTok, he wrapped a 30-city comedy club tour this year, in addition to being featured as a guest on Siddiq’s theater tour. Next year, he will continue a full tour schedule off the momentum of his special. The rising comic has amassed over 150 million minutes viewed online with his work and has also been seen on TV shows like HBO's All Def Comedy, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Insecure. Reps: CAA; manager Jeru Tillman |
| Bo Johnson (Patrick Kehoe) |
For my money, Bo Johnson had one of the best debut specials in recent memory in Two Sailboats, a self-released hour culminating in a joke performed by his father, which has earned 126K views since premiering in early November. A Seattle native with a compellingly lowkey delivery who also just unveiled his second Don't Tell Comedy set, Johnson has toured 40 states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada, performed in 129 cities, and headlined 333 shows in the last two years, not including open mics or feature sets. He has opened for acts including Marc Maron, Joe Dombrowski, Jessica Kirson, and David Nihill and is a regular at festivals including Bumbershoot, SF Sketchfest, the Double Down Comedy Experience, Life is Beautiful in Las Vegas, Rifflandia in Victoria, BC, Prizefest, and Big Pine Comedy Festival in Phoenix. Johnson and fellow comic Mayce Galoni released a web series called Canadian Pickup Artists, featuring cameos from Amy Silverberg, Alec Flynn, Dan Donohue, Ellen Harrold, and Sophie Buddle, earlier this year. A finalist in the 39th annual Seattle Comedy Competition, his stand-up has been featured on Netflix Is a Joke Radio, The SF Sketchfest Dozen, Season 2 of Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City on Comedy Central, Hulu, & LOL Live! at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Johnson will be on a headlining tour in 2026 with dates in Detroit, Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Cleveland, and San Francisco. He's set to play the Stray Theater in Los Angeles on January 24th. Reps: Fourth Wall Management |
| Jay Jurden (Jason Rodgers) |
A New York–based comedian, writer, and actor, Jay Jurden recently released a strong debut hour special in Yes Ma'am, a fast-paced, punchline-filled love letter to what it means to be Black, Southern and queer. The special, produced by Comedy Dynamics, premiered on Hulu on November 7. A former staff writer for The Problem with Jon Stewart, the Emmy-nominated talk show on Apple TV, Jurden earned four WGA Award nominations for his work there between 2022 and 2024. Previously, he has appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central, and HBO's High Maintenance . He recently made his Marvel debut writing Marvel's Voices: X-Men and is touring nationwide with The Nothing Special Tour, now through February 2026.

Named a New Face at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in 2022, he has appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring, and Iliza's Locals on Prime Video, and has also been featured on Netflix Radio. He was a finalist in the San Francisco Comedy Competition in 2021, won SoCal's Funniest Comic in 2023, and has also appeared at the New York Comedy Festival.

He can be seen performing stand-up all over the country. Reps: UTA; Avalon; Bloch Law |
| Ismael Loutfi (Hubert Vestil/Getty Images) |
Ismael Loutfi is a comedian, writer, and actor whose Comedy Central half hour special, Sound It Out, has racked up 299K views on YouTube. He's also put out two strong Don't Tell Comedy sets that together have generated over 285,000 views. Highly sought out in television, Loutfi is currently writing on the Netflix animated series Mating Season, from the same team behind Big Mouth. Before that, he was a writer on After Midnight, Ramy Youssef's animated series #1 Happy Family USA, and Netflix's Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj. Named a Just For Laughs New Face in 2016, he's also had his stand-up featured on This Week at the Comedy Cellar, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and stand-up series The Ringers. Reps: WME; Mosaic |
| Laura Peek (Todd Rosenberg) |
Making her late-night debut on The Tonight Show to kick off 2025, Laura Peek emerged from Nashville's comedy scene and was named a Just for Laughs New Face in 2022. L.A.-based, she's a paid regular at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, has been featured twice in Don't Tell Comedy's popular Secret Sets series, and recorded a set for Comedy Central Stand-up Featuring in 2023.

| Mike Rice (Rebecca Need-Menear) |
The other Irish comic on this year's list is Mike Rice, a roommate and collaborator of Vittorio Angelone's, with whom he hosts the podcast Mike and Vittorio's Guide to Parenting. Bringing in tens of millions of views to date on Instagram and TikTok, Rice self-released his first special, An Irish Disgrace, in 2023. He racked up 151K views for that one and returned to YouTube in January of this year with his sophomore special Nasty Character, with which he's amassed another 100K+ views. Completing his first UK and Ireland tour last year, his last two shows had back-to-back sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, leading to nominations at the Comedians' Choice Awards. Rice is set to take his new show Cruel Little Man around the world in 2026 with a starting run of 46 headline performances, which he's quickly selling out. He was nominated for Channel 4's Sean Locke Award in 2023, is a regular on the podcast Have a Word, alongside Angelone, and is also a cast member on Channel 4's unscripted comedy series, A Comedy Thing. Reps: UTA |
| Red Richardson (Edward Moore) |
Red Richardson is an English stand-up, writer, and actor with a look and style not quite like any comedian I've come across. His stand-up shows sell out theatres and comedy clubs across the globe, his Don't Tell Comedy set from August 2024 has over 371K views, and his 'Stay Toxic' sketches have accrued over two hundred million views on Instagram alone. In 2023, Richardson's stand-up show The Best of Red Richardson sold out the Leicester Square Theatre in London in under 24 hours. In 2024, he embarked on his Bugatti live tour, which he took to America, selling out L.A.'s Comedy Store twice with venues selling out months in advance and extra shows being added in every city of the UK and Ireland. He sold out London's Shepherd's Bush Empire and added Australian dates due to demand over the course of the 90-date global sell-out tour. A regular performer at Ricky Gervais' live shows under the banner of Ricky Gervais and Friends, Richardson has also appeared in numerous comedy sketches with Gervais, affiliated with his vodka company Dutch Barn. Currently hosting the new podcast Red Talks, he’s set to release his next stand-up special, Bugatti Live, on YouTube in December. Reps: 3 Arts Entertainment |
| Erica Rhodes (Andrew Max Levy) |
Erica Rhodes is one of those comics who has been working for a long time but never gets enough credit for how good she is. Currently, she's on her Call Me Crazy Tour, which included a sold-out headlining show at New York Comedy Festival and will culminate in the taping of her third special. Streaming on Amazon, Rhodes' most recent special, La Vie en Rhodes, was produced as part of the Tribeca Drive-In Festival. She prior to that put out the Dry Bar special Love You More, which has over two million views on YouTube, and is also responsible for the albums Sad Lemon and Ladybug, both of which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Comedy charts. Coming from an unusual background for a stand-up, as a classically trained cellist and former ballet dancer, Rhodes put out her second Don't Tell Comedy set a few months ago. In 2024, she had a standout run on America's Got Talent, where judge Sofia Vergara called her "the best comedy act" she'd seen on the show. She was also a finalist on NBC's Bring the Funny, where Jeff Foxworthy praised her as "the best-defined comic voice of the competition." Earlier this year, Rhodes went viral during an appearance on WGN Chicago, earning over 9M views with a clip that brought her over 100K new followers. Since then, fans have started flying in from other cities to see her perform. Rhodes was chosen as a New Face at the 2018 Just for Laughs Festival and has performed at JFL Bermuda & Vancouver, Netflix Is a Joke, the Moontower Comedy Festival, the New York Comedy Festival, and San Francisco Sketchfest. Additional credits include The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Comics Unleashed, @midnight, NBC's Bring the Funny, The CW’s Howie Mandel Comedy Extravaganza, Fox’s Punchline, Modern Family, Veep, New Girl, and ABC's The Off Season . In her time away from the stage, Rhode is developing a feature about her final days with her father before he passed away from multiple sclerosis — a heartfelt dramedy based on the true story that continues to define her comedy journey every day.

| Leah Rudick (Shane McCauley) |
Leah Rudick is an L.A.-based actor, writer, and comedian with nearly two million followers across Instagram and TikTok. Known for her viral original characters including "Wealthy Woman," "Joannie," and "Love Coach," she has racked up hundreds of millions of views and built a devoted online fanbase through her distinctive brand of "weird girl" comedy. Rudick released her debut hour special, Spiraling, in 2023. She began her comedy career in New York with her sketch duo Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting and co-wrote and co-starred in both the web series Made to Order, as well as Sweet Parents , an indie feature that took home top prizes at the Brooklyn Film Festival, Montreal World Film Festival and The Lower East Side Film Festival. Other screen credits include High Maintenance (HBO), Commuters (IFC), and Fast Company with James Corden, a branded comedy series for Fast Company. Rudick has played festivals including Moontower, Just for Laughs, San Francisco Sketchfest, and Laughing Skull, and in addition to acting and developing her own projects, is currently headlining a national tour, selling out top comedy clubs across the country. Reps: Mosaic |
| Rachel Scanlon (Jim McCambridge) |
An L.A. based stand-up, host, writer, and podcaster originally from Minnesota, Rachel Scanlon is best known as the co-host of the podcast and nationally touring live show Two Dykes and a Mic, which in the last 12 months, has toured theaters throughout the U.S. and internationally, selling well over 10,000 tickets in various markets. Maintaining a cult following, the show's live tapings at Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles have featured high-profile guests and queer icons like Jojo Siwa, Anna Camp, Bob the Drag Queen, Jameela Jamil, Lena Headey, and Raven Symoné, among others. In the last year, Scanlon has also sold over 10,000 tickets on her own as a stand-up, adding shows in many cities due to sell-outs. She's been on tour throughout the U.S., selling out clubs and beginning to make her way into theater territory. Last year unveiling her debut hour, the critically acclaimed Gay Fantasy, she's also taped a set for Don't Tell Comedy that has 104K views on YouTube. She regularly opens for the likes of Iliza Shlesinger and Fortune Feimster and continues to build out her online following, having amassed 160K+ followers to date on Instagram. Scanlon has also appeared on After Midnight, Iliza's Locals on Prime Video, Straight Up, Stand Up on Just For Laughs' digital platform, Comics Unleashed on CBS, and Comedy Central. Reps: Avalon; UTA |
| Brittany Schmitt (Gilbert Stark) |
The LA-based, Wisconsin-raised Brittany Schmitt accrued 710K views for her 2022 debut half-hour special, 800 Pound Gorilla's From Ho to Housewife, reaching 1.2M with her 2024 follow-up, Horny. Her material has also been featured on Don't Tell Comedy, Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring , and numerous podcasts and comedy platforms, expanding her profile beyond the club circuit, where she's been seen opening for the likes of Theo Von and Chris Redd. Schmitt's rise has been fueled not only by the strength of her comedy but also by the specificity of her voice: in her act, she speaks candidly about sobriety, relationships, womanhood, sexuality, the strange, darkly funny corners of personal transformation, and more. Reps: Gersh; attorney Alexander Contratto |
| Usama Siddiquee (Phil Provencio) |
A Bengali-American stand-up, writer, and actor based in New York City, Usama Siddiquee has released two sets with Don't Tell Comedy, earlier this year bringing them his first half hour, with jokes ranging from growing up Muslim in Texas, to dating misadventures, and even a story of getting kicked off America's Got Talent. Steadily growing on Instagram and TikTok, he made his late-night debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2024, has opened for comics like Hasan Minhaj and Morgan Jay, and recently wrapped up his first national headlining tour. Siddiquee has also had his stand-up featured on Showtime’s Desus & Mero, MTV News, and Bravo's Cash Cab. He was named a New Face at Just for Laughs Festival in 2018 and two years later, reached the semifinals of America's Got Talent. A decorated festival performer, Siddiquee was a finalist in the 2017 New York's Funniest competition at Caroline's and the NBC Stand-Up competition. He also won first place at the Laughing Devil Cup Comedy Festival, Yonkers Comedy Festival, and Make Me Laugh Albany Comedy Festival. Caroline Hirsch shouted him out as a Comic to Watch at this year's New York Comedy Festival, and recently, he wrapped a role alongside Hasan Minhaj in Best of the Best, a new comedic feature for Netflix. As an actor, his other credits include Netflix's Inventing Anna and Survival of the Thickest, HBO's And Just Like That…, Comedy Central's Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens, and FX's Better Things . Currently, he's in the final stages of developing his first original TV pilot, which he plans to take out to producers next year. Reps: Gersh; Levity Entertainment Group; WME; Myman Greenspan |
| Jenny Tian (Rebecca Need Menear) |
While I highlighted Jenny Tian as a Discovery of the Week in a recent edition of this newsletter, I couldn't help putting her on my Comics to Watch list, as well. A regular on the comedy circuit in Sydney, AU, who's taken an engaging multimedia approach to her stand-up specials, Tian recently relocated to New York and completed her first tour in the states with her hour, Jenny's Travels . Seen opening for Hannah Gadsby, Nish Kumar, and Ronny Chieng — a big comedic inspiration for her, early in her career — she broke out on TikTok during the pandemic, notching millions of likes and amassing a collective online audience of over a million across platforms. Her debut solo show, Picture This, sold out to audiences up and down the east coast of Australia and was released as a YouTube special, where it has clocked over 900K views. Her second hour, Chinese Australian: A Tale of Internet Fame , sold out across Australia and took her to her first ever runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Boulevard Theatre on the West End, both of which sold out. Released in June, the special has garnered over 266K views. Seen performing at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in each of the last two years, and as a cast member in Season 2 of Taskmaster Australia, Tian will return to Australia with new material early next year. Reps: Avalon; Gersh |
One of the great discoveries for me in putting together this year's list was TJ, a stand-up born and raised in Gonaïves, Haiti whose excellent sophomore special, Alien of Ordinary Ability, has accrued 167K views since premiering in June. Born as Tanael Joachim, TJ learned English by watching George Carlin's stand-up and Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. After the devastating Haitian earthquake in 2010, he realized life was too short not to pursue his passion and did his first open mic in a basement on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. And the rest is history. Currently based in New York City, where he's a regular at the Comedy Cellar and Gotham Comedy Club, TJ has opened for Colin Quinn, Janelle James, Maria Bamford and Sean Patton. He has also been a featured performer at festivals like Netflix Is a Joke, SF Sketchfest and the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival. This year, TJ has taken his Alien Everywhere Tour all across the country and sold-out numerous cities. He will embark on a European leg in 2026. A true polyglot, he regularly performs his set in English, French, and Haitian Creole. Also an Op-Ed contributor for The New York Times, TJ currently has over 200K subscribers on social media. Earlier this year, he had a lead part written for him in Ben Garant's FX pilot Movers after the creators discovered clips of him online. His special, January 3rd, can be found on Amazon, and you can listen to his album, Son of Haiti, on all audio platforms. Reps: Artists First |
| Aaron Weber (Kate Anthony) |
Aaron Weber is fixture of the Nashville comedy scene and a regular performer at the Grand Ole Opry. He made his debut in 2019 at the age of 28, making him the youngest stand-up ever to step into the Opry circle. Later that year, he made his television debut on the Opry's Circle Network, hosting two episodes of Stand Up Nashville!. Alongside Nate Bargatze, Brian Bates and Dusty Slay, Weber co-hosts The Nateland Podcast, where the comics tackle important world issues like animals, calendars, and Rhode Island. He was named a Just for Laughs New Face in 2021 and now headlines comedy clubs across the country. Weber released his first half hour special, Signature Dish, with 800 Pound Gorilla earlier this year, seeing it accrue 548K views. He's also put out a Comedy Central Stand Up Featuring set with 769K views, as well as a Don't Tell Comedy set with 245K. Reps: WME; Brillstein Entertainment Partners |
| Brent Weinbach (Seth Olenick) |
While Brent Weinbach is a veteran of the alt comedy world, he nonetheless needs to be looked at much more closely by the town. He's someone who you could see breaking out not only as a stand-up, but also in film and television, with the right vehicle. Released on YouTube in May, his sophomore special Popular Culture — produced by Abso Lutely — is far and away the best I've seen this year. Known for his absurdist style, experimental delivery, meticulous joke writing, and highly original impressions, Weinbach was aptly described by The New York Times' Jason Zinoman as akin to the Nathan Fielder of the stand-up world. Also an actor, director, and pianist, Weinbach makes memorable use of his musical chops in Popular Culture, sitting down at the piano to demonstrate that with just a change of key, Christmas songs can magically transform into melancholic Hanukkah songs. A recipient of the Andy Kaufman Award, recognizing innovation in stand-up comedy, Weinbach's previous special Appealing to the Mainstream plays with the format of stand-up itself, deconstructing what is considered "mainstream" comedy. He's also released a number of albums and is responsible for various internet video sensations such as Gangster Party Line, Mind Jack and Ultimate Drumming Technique, as well as the cult web series Pound House. He's currently developing his next hour special and will be seen in the upcoming film from comedy troupe The Dress Up Gang on which we were first to report in May 2024, after appearing in the group's TBS series of the same name. Weinbach has appeared on Conan, Lopez Tonight, Comedy Central (The Meltdown, @midnight, Kroll Show, Another Period), IFC, ABC and Adult Swim, also touring with the Comedians of Comedy. In addition to The Legacy Music Hour, a long-running podcast examining classic video game soundtracks, which he hosts with Rob F. Switch, he currently hosts The Chicken Coop, as well as The Brent Weinbach Podcast. Reps: Avalon; Cohen & Gardner |
