If you recognize the mug of this UCB alum, maybe it’s from those old Halls ads on the subway that he was in? Or from the variety shows he used to host in Williamsburg? Or the standup shows? No, it’s probably for his cult-followed web series I Hate Being Single about living lonely in Williamsburg.
Don’t forget he used to work at IGN too. Very funny man.
Tom Scharpling lives in Brooklyn? I thought he was from Newbridge, NJ?
Missing Ophira Eisenberg, hilarious comic, author of Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way to Monogamy, and host of NPR’s Ask Me Another (shot in Brooklyn at The Bell House!)
You forgot Sara Schaefer. She is the fucking greatest. I hope this mistake haunts you for the rest of your yuppie existence.
MOUNTAIN GOATS
This list is way too dude-heavy! Are there really so few women in Brooklyn who count as funny enough? The article should be called “The 42 Funniest Men in Brooklyn.” And no, I don’t have a sense of humor about this.
Oh, please. Catie Lazarus is sort of funny, but she’s mostly exhausting with neurotic energy, endlessly complaining about being poor – while wearing designer clothing, traveling around the country, and living on a trust fund, and acting like she’s somehow entitled to earn a living from comedy.
So happy Catie Lazarus is on the list! She’s hilarious comedian and writer. Nedster, however, sounds like a bitter, uninformed douche.
WHERES DEE MARIE OH I FORGOT HES FROM QUEENS!
Michelle Buteau should be on the top of that list!!!
They’ve all since moved from Brooklyn to LA
