Underscore Talent Unveils Comedy Division, Signing Viral Creators and Rising Stars

In a move to adapt to the changing comedy landscape, Underscore Talent has launched a dedicated comedy division. The new unit will be led by Underscore partner Michael Green, a seasoned industry veteran who previously co-founded The Firm and Studio71.

The division aims to "bridge traditional stand-up with the digital-first era," providing comedians with a comprehensive management model to expand their reach and unlock new opportunities. Green has assembled a roster of comedians spanning established icons and viral social media stars, including Zachariah Porter, Kareem Rahma, and a host of other rising talents.

"The traditional path for comedians of touring clubs and chasing late-night bookings is no longer enough," said Dan Weinstein, co-founder and co-CEO of Underscore Talent. "Underscore was built digital-first, giving comedians the strategies and tools to grow across social, streaming, and live formats."

With the launch of this new comedy division, Underscore Talent is positioning itself as a forward-thinking management firm that can help comedians navigate the evolving industry and thrive in the digital age.
