Emily Catalano

Emily Catalano is a Los Angeles-based stand-up comedian known for her slow, understated delivery, tightly constructed jokes and dry observations about relationships, religion, family and the everyday awkwardness of being human. She made her late-night debut on Conan and has built a wider audience through viral comedy clips and appearances with Don’t Tell Comedy.

Her debut stand-up special, Unspecial, was named one of The New York Times’ best comedy specials of 2024. Catalano’s relaxed stage presence often makes her sharpest punchlines feel unexpected, giving her comedy a distinctive style that is quiet, clever and frequently more cutting than it first appears.
