Humorist.Media

“If you can make them laugh, you can make them do anything.” A comedy house spanning a magazine, a book imprint, a podcast network, a film & TV studio, and a creative agency.

The Standard in American Immaturity

We make funny things, professionally, on purpose, and have for years.

Humorist Media develops comedy for print, books, podcasts, television, streaming, live stand-up, and brands who need a laugh badly enough to pay for one. This is everything we do, in one place, finally.

“The Standard in American Immaturity” — weeklyhumorist.com ↗

Founded in 2017 by former National Lampoon creative director and Late Show With David Letterman staffer Marty Dundics, Weekly Humorist has been called a “gatekeeper of contemporary American humor” alongside The New Yorker and McSweeney’s — and it’s the magazine every other Humorist division grew out of.

A new digital issue lands every week, covering satire, cartoons, pop culture, lists, and short humor fiction — plus a print-style app edition, a Friday newsletter, and audio readings of published pieces.
