Two strangers with matching face tattoos lock eyes at a farmers market and combust into instant romance. Berlant and Early write themselves a love story that pretends to be a love story.

Picked by Felix

The scouts

Pre-fame Berlant and Early, full voltage, with matching face tattoos. Watch them prototype the bit the rest of comedy is still trying to copy.

Felix

Berlant and Early are reliably the funniest, sharpest performers of their generation; even a sketch-scale collaboration with them is worth the time.

Margot

Berlant and Early as matching-face-tattoo soulmates at a farmers market, written by them, directed by DeYoung — that's a lineup I will watch perform an instruction manual.

Zoe

Reviews

Two of the funniest/smartest young performers around.
