From massive Netflix specials to international tours, comedians are pushing boundaries, exploring new formats, and keeping audiences laughing all over the world. Whether you&#8217;re a longtime fan or just getting into stand-up, these are the names you&#8217;ll be hearing (and binge-watching) all year long.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"669\">Here are the <strong data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"668\">top 10 stand-up comedians to watch in 2025<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"703\">1. <strong data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"703\">Taylor Tomlinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"948\">Fresh off her role hosting <em data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"747\">After Midnight<\/em>, Taylor is evolving into one of the most relatable and sharp-witted comics of her generation. Her specials blend vulnerability, millennial chaos, and impeccable timing \u2014 and she\u2019s only getting better.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"979\">2. <strong data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"979\">Andrew Schulz<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"1225\">Schulz continues to dominate both live stages and the digital space. His crowd work clips go viral weekly, and his no-holds-barred comedy has earned him a massive, loyal following.

His blend of cultural commentary, spirituality, and sharp humour is exactly what modern stand-up needs.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1508\">4. <strong data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1508\">Ali Wong<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1686\">Ali Wong is having another breakout year.

Whether you love or hate the hype, he\u2019s one to watch.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1919\" data-end=\"1940\">6. <strong data-start=\"1926\" data-end=\"1940\">Zarna Garg<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1941\" data-end=\"2164\">Zarna exploded on TikTok, and now she\u2019s playing to packed theatres across the U.S. Her unique voice as an Indian mom and immigrant woman hits home with multigenerational audiences, all while keeping things hilariously real.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2171\" data-end=\"2195\">7. <strong data-start=\"2178\" data-end=\"2195\">Ricky Gervais<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2196\" data-end=\"2396\">With <em data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2216\">Armageddon II<\/em> out now, Gervais shows no signs of softening. His unapologetic, biting style continues to spark laughs (and debates), keeping him one of the most relevant voices in global comedy.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2403\" data-end=\"2428\">8. <strong data-start=\"2410\" data-end=\"2428\">Trevor Wallace<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2429\" data-end=\"2644\">From YouTube sketches to major comedy tours, Wallace is transitioning into a full-fledged stand-up star.

She\u2019s building buzz for her new hour, mixing political jabs and personal stories with pure comic force.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"2897\">10. <strong data-start=\"2881\" data-end=\"2897\">Shane Gillis<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2898\" data-end=\"3121\">Banned by SNL, but beloved on YouTube \u2014 Shane Gillis had one of the most talked-about specials last year.
