Who is Taylor Tomlinson?

Taylor Tomlinson (born November 4, 1993) is an American stand-up comedian from Temecula, California. She has four Netflix stand-up specials: Quarter-Life Crisis (2020), Look At You (2022), Have It All (2024) and Prodigal Daughter (2026).

She started doing comedy at 16, after her father signed them both up for a stand-up class, and worked church basements, school venues and coffee shops. She was a top-ten finalist on season nine of NBC's Last Comic Standing in 2015 and one of Variety's 10 Comics to Watch at Just for Laughs in 2018.

From January 2024 to June 2025 she hosted CBS's late-night panel show After Midnight, a revival of @midnight, taping three days a week so she could keep doing stand-up on weekends. She left to focus on stand-up, and CBS ended the show after its second season.

Her 2023 tour was one of the ten highest-grossing comedy tours of the year: she was the only woman on that list and played more shows (132) than anyone on it. Her material often covers her religious upbringing and her mental health, including the bipolar diagnosis she talked about in Look At You.
