Straight comedians who GET how to joke about LGBTQ People

My algorithm knows me pretty well, because lately, I've been getting served videos of straight, male standups with smaller (but growing) followings who know how to joke about and with LGBTQ audiences in funny and smart ways... without punching down. I know some of the conservative eldergays hate terms like "punching down", but, hey, it's good shorthand and you know what I mean when I say it. Those lazy right wing and libertarian comedians who seem to orbit around Joe Rogan in Austin still whine that they're "being censored" (they're not) and that "they can't make fun of anyone anymore" (not true), but, let's be real, that just translates to... "I'm lazy, lack creativity, don't know how to evolve and aren't genuinely funny..."

Anyway, this completely unsexy comedian impressed me. I was not expecting this smart little set when I saw the screenshot in my feed. Perhaps you'll enjoy it, too.

R1 - yes! LOVE Will Burkart. For the longest time, because of his handles, I thought his name was Willbur. LOL.

He's very funny... incredibly quick on his feet and, yes, very cute. He's also teeny tiny, but I think that makes him more adorable. He absolutely qualifies as a straight comedian who gets how to joke about LGBTQ subjects. Great call!
