If actress and comedian Kate Berlant looks familiar to you, it’s with good reason. Berlant has guest starred on all of your favorite comedies, including “The Other Two,” “The Good Place,” “Loki,” and Netflix’s “The Characters,” per IMDb. She also had a comedic turn in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood.” But long before Berlant started popping up on your favorite TV shows and podcasts, Vulture reported that she was performing all over New York City alongside her comedy partner, John Early, with whom she created the comedic short “Rachel” and the web series “555” (via Vulture).
Berlant has been open about how much her friendship with Early means to her. “We really did have a shared language prior to ever knowing each other. It was a feeling of recognizing John as my friend instead of, ‘Oh, we forged a friendship.’ There was zero work or labor,” Berlant told FLOOD Magazine in 2018. “We met, and John spent every night at my house, practically, for two years. I truly would watch him leave my apartment out the window, like falling in love. It sounds cheesy—it is cheesy. But our friendship was romantic.” Like Early, Berlant graduated from New York University, and later earned her master’s degree there in performance studies, per Alma. Perhaps the upcoming “A League Of Their Own” reboot will be the thing to catapult Berlant from comedic darling to household name.
