2015′s Five Best Comedians Living at 167 Stanhope Street

Brooklyn is a hotbed for comedy right now, and specifically: Bushwick, Brooklyn…and even more specifically, the corner of Wilson Avenue and Stanhope Street. Everyone in the know knows there’s no shortage of great comedians on this particular block, and moreover, this particular apartment. Here is a list of the 5 hottest funny folks of 2015 who are currently living in the same apartment. 

KENNY DEFOREST

-Kenny is a tall, white, redheaded stand up comedian who is a man of many hats. He is not multi-talented, he literally owns and wears an impressive variety of flat billed hats. He moved to NY from Chicago, where he also did comedy and wore hats. He also plays basketball and recently had a weird infection in his hand. Be on the lookout for this funny (or so I’ve heard), tall, hat-wearing comedian in 2016! 

CLARK JONES

Clark Jones is also a comedian living in this apartment whose notoriety is on the rise, much like his blood sugar (he has diabetes)! Unlike Kenny, Clark is a man of just one, silly hat. This guy is not afraid to sing at the top of his lungs and dance the running man until someone finally laughs at him. Be on the lookout for this Chicago-bred, Morehouse-educated, calls-it-like-he-sees-it, pulls-no-punches comedian to sit in a chair backwards near you in the coming year.

BRIAN ALLEN MITCHELL

-Brian is a sweet boy with a dark and mysterious past who could snap at any moment. He’s from Akron, Ohio and is for some reason a die hard fan of the Cleveland Browns. Aside from the fact that Brian is a funny stand up comedian, he also is probably a talented sketch and improv actor (never made it out to a show). Brian also cleans up the most of anyone in the apartment, and recently bought a PS4. His favorite show is Gilmore Girls, and he’s very defensive about it.

ANDY SANDFORD

-Andy moved into 167 Stanhope in May to fill the void left by comedian Will Miles, and by his second week, no one could remember that Will had ever lived there. Sandford is the only comedian at 167 Stanhope to live in a room with no windows, which sounds more depressing than it is. And while he is undeniably the handsomest comedian in the apartment, he is embarrassed by flattery and insists on being judged by the content of his act and *not* his rugged good looks. Keep an eye out for this hunk in the very near future.

GILBERT LAWAND

Gilbert is the 5th and latest addition to this 4 bedroom Bushwick haha-house. The semi-recent Atlanta transplant is only crashing for however much time it takes to woo the Puerto Rican grandmother with a rent controlled apartment across the street. His status may be shaky, but his comedy is rock solid, AND he’s a certified public accountant to boot! He even won a comedy contest for accountants (yes, that’s a real thing that happens). Be on the lookout for this wacky Iraqi in 2016 (seriously, we’re all worried about him). 

You can stop looking at other comedian lists now. This pretty much covers it.
