Sheng Wang @shengwangtime:
Whether he’s talking about drunkenly peeing his pants or the inherent conflicts of life as a first generation American (he was raised by his Taiwanese parents in Texas), Wang has perfectly honed the kind of relatable, deceptively laid back stand up that’ll leave you furtively tittering to (and probably about) yourself, even if you’re, say, watching his clips alone on your laptop while writing a short blurb about his work. He first honed his built up his chops out in the Bay Area, but for now he’s in New York, and a fixture at shows like the Brooklyn Comedy Festival and Big Terrific.
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
