Janet McNamara — Arts & Theatre / Comedy at Punch Line Philly, Philadelphia.

Janet McNamara is a Boston-bred comedian now based in New York City, where she recently became a regular at The Comedy Cellar following the viral success of her debut special, Not Smart Enough. Her special was also just featured on Vulture?s 2026 ?9 New Comedy Specials You Should Definitely Watch? List. Most recently, Janet was featured in the THIS AMERICAN LIFE segment "Diagnose Me, Maybe?" and was listed in Vulture's "Comedians You Should and Will Know in 2026". After spending 15 years balancing stand-up with a career in accounting in her hometown of Summerville, MA, Janet has emerged as one of comedy?s most distinctive voices?pairing razor-sharp joke writing with an unbothered, plainspoken delivery that sneaks up on you and then levels the room.
