10 comedians who deserve a Netflix special ASAP

Amanda Seales

Amanda Seales is a force. She is hilarious all while being poignantly smart. For example, she would never use the sentence “poignantly smart.” Most likely, you may recognize Amanda from HBO’s smash hit Insecure, where she plays the effervescent Tiffany DuBois. Amanda has been acting for long before Insecure. As a child, she was on the Nickelodeon show My Brother and Me. She’s been on Black-ish as well and hosts the Empire After Show on Fox.

Amanda also has her own wildly successful web series Get Your Life on Blavity.com. Though Amanda is multitalented, it doesn’t diminish her strength as a stand-up comedian. Her comedy is brave. She’s one of the most important voices coming out of the Los Angeles comedy scene right now. Amanda is incredibly charming and friendly but ultimately doesn’t care if you like her because she’s going to be honest regardless. She performs all over the country, but when she’s home in Los Angeles, Amanda hosts and produces a live comedy show called Smart, Funny, & Black which features both amateur and celebrity black comedians. The shows sells out every time.
