Whitney Cummings: Seriously Funny

Los Angeles comedian Whitney Cummings not only does stand-up, but she is also an actress and a writer. Whitney has been recognized for her comedy in 2007 by being named one of Variety’s “Top Ten Comics to Watch”, and again in 2009 when she was named Entertainment Weekly’s “Comedy Stars of Tomorrow”.

On television, Whitney can be seen on Chelsea Lately as a regular panelist. She co-executive produced, wrote, and performed in the Showtime series Live! Nude! Comedy! However, the popular MTV series Punk’d was where Whitney first became a series regular. Also on the big screen, Whitney is the star of the film Made of Honor. Whitney offers her comedy in writing as well, frequently for the Comedy Central Roasts.

Her stand-up is quite popular and has been featured on shows such as Down and Dirty with Jim Norton, Comedy All-Stars, Last Call with Carson Daly, and Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen.

Chelsea Lately is one of my favorite TV shows and it was where I first discovered Whitney. Her quick wit and funny commentary drew me in to find out more. I located tons of her stand-up on Youtube and loved every minute of it. Whitney’s jokes are unique, hilarious, and relatable. I would recommend Whitney Cummings to anyone looking for some fresh jokes from a female’s perspective in this male dominated industry.
