- With equal parts confident social observation and cutting self-deprecation, New York City-based comedian Brendan Sagalow has deftly and defiantly owned the stage for over 10 years. His debut full-hour comedy special, Thin Lips, was released in August 2024 on Youtube and continues to receive critical acclaim. Brendan performed as a “New Face” in the 2022 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. He has also taken part in the Rogue Island Comedy Festival, Skankfest, and the New York Comedy Festival. He was a finalist in 2018’s New York’s Funniest, 2017’s Carolines Comedy Club Competition, and 2017’s Carolines March Madness Competition. He has written for MTV's Joking Off, and appeared on ViceTV’s Tumbleweeds with Killer Mike and the popular Barstool Sports series Answer the Internet. He is a recurring guest on The Jim and Sam Show, Barstool Sports’ KFC Radio, and The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Dan Soder. Brendan co-hosted Here’s the Scenario podcast with fellow comedians Mike Cannon and Mike Feeney, and now hosts his own show, Sagdaddy Da Pod. He has been a guest on a wide array of popular podcasts, including Are You Garbage?, Tuesdays with Stories, and Legion of Skanks.
