Did I leave someone out? Please let me know the comments below!
12. Natasha Leggero
Leggero is by far the most fashionable comic on the scene. She’s a frequent panelist on “Chelsea Lately” and plays clubs all over LA. Here, she rails on Hip Hop.
11. Amy Schumer
Schumer was a finalist on “Last Comic Standing.” She’s performed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and produced this recent video entitled “Chinese New Year.” Watch it. You’ll learn something if you like it or not.
10. Melissa Rauch
Rauch first caught the public’s eye with her one woman show “The Miss Education Of Jenna Bush.” She has been on “Best Week Ever” and “Big Bang Theory.” Recently she was cast in the ABC pilot “Wright Vs. Wrong” with Debra Messing and Patrick Fugit. Check out her video “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bra” (also featuring fellow comedienne Tig Notaro).
9. Tig Notaro
Tig can be seen on “The Sarah Silverman Program.” She’s a hit in Los Angeles and just performed at the local Breast Cancer Be Trippin’ benefit to raise money for cancer research. Listen to her talk about one of her crazy fans.
8. Heather McDonald
Unless you’re an avid “Chelsea Lately” fan, you haven’t seen this great comic. Not only is she funny, but she does a killer Drew Barrymore impression.
7. Eliza Coupe
Eliza Coupe is an improv community staple and stars in “Scrubs.” She was just tapped to star in ABC pilot “Happy Endings.” In this clip, she cracks up Jimmy Kimmel.
6. Megan Mooney
Mooney is one bad ass mom. In this video from her Comedy Central special, she talks about religion and her parents getting in on. Hot!
5. Nadine Rajabi
Nadine recently kicked butt on the Babelgum series “Mass Debaters.” Watch this this clip where Nadine talks about sexting. Sadly, there are no pictures.
4. Maria Bamford
You may know her from her Target commercials, but Bamford is a force on the comedy scene.
3. Codi Fischer
Codi Fischer is a staple on “Web Soup.” In her latest latest Internet safari for the show, she is attacked by wild animals. Be warned, you have to wade through a boatload of snot before getting to her piece. It’s completely worth it!
2. Ellie Kemper
Before she got a booked as Erin Harmon the newest receptionist on “The Office,” Kemper was famous for her one woman shows and viral videos. This video is NSFW… unless you work at a porn shop.
1. Garfunkel and Oates (Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome)
Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome are ready for greatness. They were a staple on “The Jay Leno Show,” both work consistently as actors and are amazing. They’re currently touring the country. Listen to their latest hit “Gay Boyfriend.”
