Comedian Hannah Berner on Her First Netflix Special and How ‘Summer House’ Prepared Her for Stand-Up


Comedian Hannah Berner's first Netflix special, "We Ride at Dawn," drops on July 9.

The 32-year-old comedian finds herself increasingly less inclined to turn on Bravo but can’t get enough of unhinged true stories about Ponzi schemers, con artists and cult leaders. Her material covers her mental health, her older husband (she’s married to 48-year-old Irish American comedian Des Bishop), unrealistic sex in movies and other hot takes about pop culture. Before “We Ride at Dawn” lands on streaming, Berner spoke to Variety about how her days as a college tennis champion gave her confidence on stage and her grandma’s critiques of her jokes.
