First on our list is Tig Notaro. She has been a standout since her breakthrough Grammy-nominated album "Live" in 2012, where she fearlessly intertwined personal challenges like cancer with sharp wit. Billy Eichner has a huge audience base who love to watch him divide opinions with his intense style, whether berating strangers on "Billy on the Street" or charming audiences in mainstream hits like "Bros.” Third on our list is Patti Harrison. She delights with surreal humor across social media and stand-up, leaving audiences in stitches with her unique comedic voice. Fortune Feimster is no less. Known for her laid-back charm, she has been entertaining viewers since her days on "Last Comic Standing.” Wanda Sykes, a trailblazer since 1987, uses her platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, becoming the first Black woman and openly gay entertainer to headline the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. How can we forget Hannah Gadsby? Gadsby who propelled to global fame with "Nanette," is known for challenging and delighting audiences with their poignant storytelling and return to comedy after initially vowing to quit. Through their wit and courage, these comedians not only entertain but also provoke thought and advocate for LGBTQ+ visibility and rights in comedy and beyond. #Queer Up Entertainment
