Stand-up comedian and podcast host Hannah Berner is surely making a great impression this year. From recording a Netflix-special, which became a hit and a sold-out tour to publishing a new book, the former Summer House star is quickly becoming one of the most recognized names in stand-up comedy.
The New Haven, Connecticut, tour stop at College Street Music Hall on March 29, 2025, has seen Berner continuing her tour. The train of people laughing through her performances has definitely described Berner’s influence spreading far beyond reality TV.
Netflix Success with We Ride at Dawn
Hannah Berner’s Netflix special We Ride at Dawn, which was released in July 2024, gave a significant boost to her career. The special featured candid humor and narratives specific to millennials. It shed light on marriage, social anxiety, and living in a digital world. This performance went a long way in presenting her comedy to a global audience and received an enthusiastic response from both the fans and the critics.
Comedy Tour Continues Across the U.S.
Her Netflix special being well-accepted, Berner then prepared the full-length comedy tour, which covered venues in the United States and some in Europe. In her shows, she is often seen interacting closely with the audience, and the energetic vibes are always present.
Her forthcoming show at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, CT, will be held on May 3, 2025, and is expected to be a sell-out in a short time. Due to high demand, many of her tour locations have booked out very early, especially after her exposure on Netflix.
Podcasting Fame with Giggly Squad and Berner Phone
Besides stand up, Berner is still a major player when it comes to the podcast industry. Together with her friend and Summer House co-star Paige DeSorbo, she co-hosts Giggly Squad which is a popular show. She has also started a podcast with her husband, Des Bishop, who is a comedian, named Berner Phone.
Collectively, these two shows now have over 100 million downloads. They have been talking about various topics like internet culture, their personal confessions, and even some cringe-worthy dating stories. With their laid-back nature and the abundance of comedy, the duo has done an amazing job, as both shows turned into everyone’s favorites quite quickly.
New Book Release: How To Giggle
Berner and DeSorbo, who already have a lot to do, are now in the process of releasing their first co-authored book, How To Giggle: A Guide to Taking Life Less Seriously. The book which comes out on April 15, 2025, aims at giving readers fun advice, sharing personal stories, and making them laugh with their humor. The project targets those struggling with the everyday troubles of living and emphasizes the importance of lightheartedness in life.
Married Life and Social Media Buzz
On the one hand, Berner is still open that she shares her life updates with Des Bishop. The couple lives in New York City. There, they are doing that podcast, embarking on the comedy circuit, and creating content, most importantly, working as a team. Mostly, the audience gets a peek at their love through social media and interviews.
The way they have been so open about their marriage and career life not only captured the hearts of the fans but also made them their favorite due to the chemistry that they share on and off the microphone.
What’s Next for Hannah Berner?
Having shown a special and been recognized with Netflix, a calendar full of tours, and two podcasts leading in the charts, Hannah Berner is proving herself as an all-rounder. She has moved away from being a reality TV personality to being a force in stand-up, a new female-face of comedy, and someone who is increasing her base by staying true to herself.
It is Berner’s capacity to coordinate simultaneous assignments, while being humorous, down-to-earth, and receiving, which is the very thing that singles her out as the most interesting among the younger comic crowd.
