Every year, Variety chooses 10 Comics to Watch: comics who are coming up and making an impact on the comedy scene. The group is then honored with a reception and performs at the Just For Laughs Festival. Here are three of their 10 choices, each with a clip of their work:
Sam Jay
Sam Jay (@SamJayComic) frequently speaks about her experiences as an out woman of color in her stand-up. Her goal is to “take people to the edge and talk about the things that people are uncomfortable about” https://t.co/BrD1suVhWp pic.twitter.com/xCKnPbbKMH

Joel Kim Booster
You may have seen (or heard) comic Joel Kim Booster (@ihatejoelkim) on “Conan,” “The Meltdown With Jonah and Kumail,” and “This is Not Happening,” but he wants more: “I’d love to write, produce, and star in a show, and expand my range into dramas” https://t.co/HDVaqcRxAc pic.twitter.com/G3yYQxEXNW
