Adrienne Iapalucci is an American stand-up comedian known for her sharp, dark humor and unapologetic style. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, she’s built a reputation in the comedy world with over 20 years of experience by 2024. Her comedy often tackles tough topics—think social issues, personal struggles, and the gritty side of life—delivered with a deadpan edge that’s both clever and fearless. She’s not one to shy away from controversy, which has earned her a loyal following and respect from peers.
She first got noticed as a semifinalist on Season 7 of Last Comic Standing in 2010, which put her on the map nationally. Since then, she’s racked up appearances at big comedy festivals like Just For Laughs in Montreal and the New York Comedy Festival, where she won the first-ever People’s Choice award in 2009. Her TV credits include spots on The Late Show with David Letterman, Netflix’s The Degenerates Season 2, and This Week at the Comedy Cellar. She also released her debut comedy album, Baby Skeletons, in 2020, which got praise from heavyweights like Chris Rock and Anthony Jeselnik.
Her big break in recent years came with her Netflix special The Dark Queen, released on November 12, 2024, directed by Louis C.K., who’s called her one of his favorite comedians. She’s toured with him too, popping up in his 2023 special Back to the Garden. Based in New York, she’s a regular at spots like The Comedy Cellar and The Stand when she’s not on the road. Oh, and she’s got a soft spot for dogs—something that balances out her biting stage persona. That’s Adrienne in a nutshell: raw, real, and relentlessly funny.
