Top 100 LA Comics to Watch (80-61)

80. Gary Cannon

He was the warm-up comic for Conan, Dr. Phil, and a bunch of other shows they never put him on camera for which is why I’m giving him the Ian Ira Rousso stamp of approval. He’s funny which is why you should have him on all your shows.

79. Rocky Roberts

Rocky has been promoted to sound guy at The Improv and based on the scrubs in his headshot, also goes out for commercials. I don’t know, but he was making waves on the Improv patio when they were doing that.

78. Ken Garr

He used to host Lab Work. Now he hosts in the main room of my home club the World-Famous Hollywood Improv. He also hosted Write Club during The Pandemic which was when comedians signed into Zoom, ran material and gave each other notes. His notes were whatever, but his heart was in the right place. I wish he would update his headshot cause I see a promising future for this young rising comic.

77. Paul Moomjean

Paul Moomjean really is one of the funniest in the biz. Good guy to know.

76. Wendy Wilkins

Me and Wendy don’t always see eye to eye, but one thing we do see to eye to eye on is she has a bright future ahead of her.

75. Jordan Leer

I think Jordan Leer was on an episode of The Goldbergs or something. I dunno. Good guy though. Cool to kick it with. Very funny.

73. Mia Mars

I think Mia for Fresh Faces or New Faces or whatever The Laugh Factory calls it. Whole different world to me. She got it though for a reason. Cause she’s amazing.

72. Leon Walker

Leon Walker is one of my better friends in comedy. He books a show (I think). I know he acts. I haven’t seen any of his body of work but I do know he’s funny.

71. Michael D’Angelo

I wasn’t sure where fellow LA 8 and Hollywood Improv veteran, Michael D’Angelo, falls on this list, but definitely ahead of Gary Cannon.

70. Mary Romeo

I haven’t seen Mary Romeo in a while. I think she’s on tour or something. I don’t know. What I do know is she’s a real gem of a person. I forget whether she books a show or not.

69. Mitchel Lamar

I see him a lot in the afternoon working out material at Fourth Walls and I like what I hear.

67. Herman Wrice

The other day, the host at the Happy Hour Open Mic at The Improv mispronounced his name. I promise you those days are numbered Herman. Keep grinding!

66. Eric Wielo

He co-hosted the patio mic at The Improv when no one else would. Sometimes he does cold opens in the Main Room. I think he was a writer for Conan. What I do know is he does the road a bunch and I love seeing Eric whenever he’s around.

65. Nate Welch

Nate had a spot on Supernova recently which is really cool. Anthony Jeselnick might have been on that show who would’ve been on this list, but his credits are too big. I’m trying to lift the little guys. Nate also co-hosts Comic Wars out in Sylmar and does a fantastic job. Thanks for being great Nate! See you soon!

64. Effie Meadows

Effie is funny, kind, amazing, levels most rooms I’ve seen her in. Have her on your show now!

63. Kurt Steinmuller

Kurt is one of my favorite people in the world. I’ve given him a lot of rides and there’s a reason for that. Cause he’s smart, vulnerable, a good hang, and above all, really really funny. I’ve seen all of Southern California with him it feels like, from Ventura to Escondido. Catch him in his series titled “Kurt Gone Wild”. Sucks about your tortoise.

62. Mike Sasson

There’s a reason you’re starting to see Mike Sasson on half the flyers on Instagram. Just a beast comic and an even beaster friend. Go Mike!

61. Cooper Lyden

I used to hate Cooper cause he was way younger than me and way funnier than anyone I knew, by miles. Then he turned me on to Uniqlo which is the clothing brand that fits my sensible fashion sense. Murders in every room including the World-Famous Comedy Store as one of their newest door hires and he also booked a Pop Tarts commercial which is pretty awesome. Keep grinding Coop Dogg.
