List of musical comedians. This alphabetical list is limited to comedians who share their comedy through music and song. Usually they play an instrument onstage.
- Bo Burnham. One of the youngest stand-up comedians ever to make it big, Bo Burnham was performing at festivals and signing record deals when he was barely out of high school—all because he uploaded a few hilarious songs to Youtube.
- Jon Lajoie. Like Bo Burnham, Canadian comedian and musician Jon Lajoie created his own celebrity with a series of hugely popular internet videos for songs with titles like "High as F*ck" and "Everyday Normal Guy."
- Rodney Carrington. Blue-collar comedian Rodney Carrington might be more successful as a musician than a comedian, but he's still one of the top touring acts in the U.S., with six successful comedy albums under his belt.
- Jimmy Fallon. If not from "The Tonight Show," most people probably recognize Jimmy Fallon from his days as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live," where he first made a name for himself as a musical comedian by performing parody songs on an acoustic guitar.
- Tom Lehrer. A precursor of sorts to Lonely Island, Lehrer’s work exploded song forms. Drawing upon the period’s popular music, he wrote his own satirical versions, adding in sharp commentary about the 1960s.
- Garfunkel and Oates. Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome are each comedians and actresses in their own right, but together they’re a formidable team. A counterbalance to many of the male musical comedians out there, they provide a female’s point of view on all manner of things from pregnant women (those smug jerks) to figuring out the difference between hand jobs and blowjobs.
- Bo Burnham. At a whopping 24 years old, Burnham has already blazed a serious trail in stand-up. With four comedy albums under his belt, Burnham has the kind of career one expects from a veteran comic.
- Spike Jones. Like other musical comedians in the late 1930s, Jones began as a musician before branching out into comedy. A studio band percussionist, he also performed on radio shows, where he realized that bigger sounds were needed to emphasize or punctuate a moment.
