If you don’t already know about how great the comedy scene is in Atlanta, let this serve as a friendly reminder that plenty of great comedians are right there right now in addition to the wealth of headliners that come through their healthy stable of comedy clubs/theaters/venues. Both Joe Zimmerman and Andy Sandford came out of ATL and are now very solid staples of NYC’s stand-up scene.
Katherine Blanford is a shining star in Atlanta’s scene and showed exactly why, as well as repping for Atlanta comedy, on The Tonight Show last night. Blanford’s dazzling charisma, homespun, down-to-earth delivery, and her plentiful, sharply written punchlines put on quite the debut for a late night set (and we have no doubt that there will be more to come).
With that all said, please enjoy Katherine Blanford’s first Tonight Show set here.
