Jon Glaser:
Glaser has had a long, acclaimed career as a kind of comedian’s comedian. You know, the kind of career where everyone-in-the-know loves him and his work, but he doesn’t have wide, public recognition? Maybe this is in part due to the fact that Glaser has spent a lot of time writing behind-the-scenes (for Late Night with Conan O’Brien and the Dana Carvey Show), but in the last year, Glaser has reached a much wider audience due to his guest-starring roles on Girls and Parks and Recreation, where he played Councilman Jeremy Jamm, who is maybe even a worse (albeit fictional) politician than Ted Cruz.
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
