Taylor Tomlinson has joined the late-night TV show scene with her new show “After Midnight.”
While Tomlinson is a new face to the late-night show lineup, she’s not new to comedy.
If you’re not familiar with Tomlinson, it’s okay.
She realizes that there are some people who, before this gig, may not know who she is.
Though some may not yet know Tomlinson, she has had her share of experience on the comedy stage.
Tomlinson was hooked, and she got her first gigs telling jokes at churches.
Tomlinson’s career got a big boost when she appeared on “Last Comic Standing” in 2015.
In 2019, Tomlinson also went on a nationwide comedy tour with Conan O’Brien.
O’Brien has sung her praises.
“Taylor’s secret weapons are her authenticity and her bravery,” he toldStyleCaster.
“She’s not afraid to share things openly from her childhood or her adult life.
She walks up to that third rail and then masterfully veers into the absurd.
The point is made and the comedy is not only intact, but it shines all the brighter.”
She’s also been able to joke about her mother dying when Tomlinson was just eight years old.
Tomlinson has explained on stage how she can joke about such serious topics.
“This is me monetizing my trauma.
I’m doing a show.
There are T-shirts in the lobby,” she said.
Her second special “Look At You” came out in 2022.
