    There are quite a few parallels between Jaboukie and Grace

    1. They’re both mid 90s babies Jaboukie was born ‘94 Grace in ‘95

    2. They’re both gay.

    3. They both started their careers in Chicago’s standup scene before moving to New York

    4. They both built relatively big followings on Twitter. Jaboukie for his tweets and Grace for her solo comedy sketches.

    As a current Gen Z member of Chicago’s comedy scene (obviously nowhere near their level of success) I think Gen Z is less interested in skewering the behavior of corrupt politicians and more inclined to look inward and skewer the kind of people who fuel the culture that keeps electing corrupt politicians in the first place.

    Grace’s piece she did about paying Beyoncé $500,000 to spit on her isn’t a take down of any politician it’s more a takedown of the average American and their vapid obsession with celebrity culture.
