Five Comics to Watch

Tiffany Haddish
Age: 28
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Style: African-American/Jewish girl from the 'hood
Background: When Haddish was young and in a foster care program, her social worker gave her the option of going to therapy or attending comedy camp. "Before that, I never thought I'd leave the 'hood. I thought that I'd end up with five baby daddies," Haddish says. "It inspired me to be better."
Signature bit: Pulling out her bra inserts onstage ("This is some bullshit right here. I was just trying to get some free drinks later")
Reminiscent of: Robin Williams
High praise: "She can just take over a show," says Jamie Masada of L.A.'s Laugh Factory
