Writer and comedian Rob Delaney had been performing stand-up for several years before blowing up on the national scene through his Twitter account—which currently has over 1.05 million followers—and becoming the first comedian to earn the “Funniest Person on Twitter” title at the Comedy Central Comedy Awards in 2012. Delaney, who has written for Vice and The Guardian, published his first book and memoir, Rob Delaney: Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage., this past fall, which chronicles his rocky path to sobriety. With credits including appearances on “Conan,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Chelsea Lately” and “Key and Peele,” his first TV series “Catastrophe,” in which he co-stars with Irish comedian Sharon Hogan, will premiere on Channel 4 next year.
