The current New York alt-scene is forever indebted to comedians John Early and Kate Berlant. The comedy duo (though they are no slouches individually) have brought a completely original delivery and abstract ideology back to the stage, and have had many comedians directly copy their schtick and mannerisms in the alt clubs. Ask any working alt-comic and they’ll tell you, Early and Berlant are alt-comedy royalty that aren’t stopping their climb any time soon.
