After years of being an influential figure in comedy but a niche presence outside it, Kate Berlant is having a moment. “She has our attention,” Alex_Lily writes. “What will she do with it next?”
released “Would It Kill You to Laugh?,” an hour-long special on Peacock that showcased their brand of absurdist humor in sketches featuring Meredith Vieira, full-body beaver suits, and an alternate reality in which people pay for restaurant meals with ladlefuls of melted caramel rather than card or cash.as a cheeky foray into the world of wellness. The podcast, which luxuriates in digression, has found a devoted following of fans who identify as Hags, me among them.
Berlant is a born entertainer, and her extraordinary physicality is one distinguishing delight of her comedy. The way that she uses her body, madly shuffle-dancing across the stage or popping her eyes cartoonishly wide, is pure vaudeville. She can crack a joke with her knees. She has one of the great contemporary faces in comedy: a long, elegant nose and jutting chin; high, round cheekbones framed by a shock of dark curls. It’s a mobile, Etch A Sketch sort of face.
“Kate” picks up where “Cinnamon” left off, taking the premise of autobiographical confession and twisting it like taffy. The tricks begin in the lobby, where audience members are greeted by a mock art installation devoted to the greatness of Kate. There is the requisite selfie wall, where people are encouraged to pose alongside black-and-white photographs of Berlant, looking very nineties Calvin Klein in her signature onstage getup of black jeans, black tank top, and black boots.
