As popular public outrage would dictate, I should have ‘Were you living under a rock?’ yelled at my face because I did know these standup comedians! Although I have changed my man since I discovered and loved these guys.
Stuff changed this year. A lot of stuff. Standup comedy as a genre, fueled by my inner free 1GB internet per day monster began to consume YouTube videos like oxygen is to breathing, and I realized Adam Sandler had stopped being funny years ago, and found myself not laughing along with the Big Bang Theory laugh track. It truly was the best medicine, but I was experiencing a scarcity. No Pretentious Movie Reviews, AIB videos became rare, and I had devoured every video of all the popular stand up comedians I knew, until I found these guys.
So, now I have more stuff to secretly watch while working until I have to switch the tab when my boss walks by, or burn the midnight oil with a muffled laugh under the sheets. I know you’ll be judging me big time, but I did not know these standup comedians but now I do. I sure do!

She doesn't share her work on YouTube or other platforms, although she's hilarious and you should catch a show when she's in your town!
