10 Best Comedy Duos Working Today

9. Gabe And Jenny

C640x360 10 So many comedy duos are kept together by a natural talent and business savvy rather than a genuine affection for one another, which is what makes Gabe and Jenny so refreshing. When you watch their stand-up routines or web series Bestie x Bestie on Funny or Die, you can see how much they enjoy each other's company. Gabe Liedman and Jenny Slate met while they were both in college at Columbia University, and quickly established a friendship that transitioned into a comedy career. Slate (who you likely recognize either as Mona-Lisa Saperstein on Parks and Recreation, or as the girl who accidentally dropped an f-bomb during her very first episode on Saturday Night Live) has likened their relationship to similar to that of Elaine Bennett and George Costanza on Seinfeld, except they actually like each other. Together, they're considered one of the most promising comedy acts in the industry, and have made frequent appearances both at live stand-up events and on shows like The Meltdown. They're both hilarious, irreverent, and unafraid of offending people: a perfect match.
