SplitSider.com wrote a wonderful post on Hipster Comedians. As an aspiring Jewish Hipster Comedian myself, I have taken ever single item below to heart. I too will one day be Aziz Ansari. Mark my words, world.
You referenced Das Racist in one of your jokes and got lots of nods and smirks of audience recognition. You have forced audiences to invent new ways to physically express cool cred so they can appropriately react to your references.
You have public conversations on Twitter with other cool alt comics and celebs with indie cred.
You played the comedy tent Bonnaroo and did a surprise show at Coachella and co-headlined Sasquatch and tried to start a LOL-Lounge at Lollapalooza.
You were best friends with Zach Galifianakis before he got famous, but still go hang out on his farm from time to time.
You have custom poster art made for each time you perform then sell framed copies of the posters at your merch table.
You had a split-second cameo in the new Jay-Z video cause you hang out together sometimes, which is weird, but it’s no big deal.
You had an uncredited role as one of the campers in Wet Hot American Summer and that’s how you realized you wanted to do comedy.
When you’re not being the coolest at comedy you’re also a DJ. In secret VIP lounges and Turntable.fm rooms you play unreleased LCD Soundsystem/Odd Future mash-up tracks that James Murphy himself gave to you one time when he was drunk.
Your comedy could be described as post-modern, post-Chappelle, post-jokes, and mostly just very cool.
More hilariousness @ splitsiders
