Aisling Bea

Aisling Bea is the kind of comedian I instinctively root for, because her wit comes wrapped in genuine intelligence. A Trinity College Dublin graduate from County Kildare, she carries an Irish sharpness that lands sly rather than loud. Winning the So You Think You're Funny award as only the second woman in its long history was no fluke, and her real coup was creating, writing and starring in her own series, proving she is an author as much as a performer. I am drawn to artists who control their own material end to end, and Bea clearly does. Her self-deprecating, brainy humor feels honest in a way I find rare and refreshing.
