Meet 2023’s Comedians You Should Know of Los Angeles

This year, Vulture’s list of “The Comedians You Should and Will Know” is going visual, with each of our honorees getting a chance to sit down with our host, comedian and list alumnus Jay Jurden, for a quick chat about their comedic sensibilities, funniest jokes, and unlikely origin stories. In this video featuring comedians based in Los Angeles, we learn what it’s like to start comedy at nine years old, how to perform comedy that is “respectfully horny,” and who is winning the ongoing race war. Watch it in full here, before we take a cue from some of the comedians on our list and chop it into 11 clips and strew them across social media.
