It’s July 1st which means rents due and it’s International Joke Day. The silly holiday was created by Wayne Reinagel in 1994. He told Holiday Insights, “I made this day July 1, because the year was officially half over and I then used it to promote my joke books.” In honor of the holiday, here are 5 comedians guaranteed to make you laugh.

JENNY LORENZO Jenny Lorenzo is a Cuban-American actress, writer, and content creator, known for her YouTube sketches with characters inspired by her Cuban heritage. She is also the host of “Hyphenated” along with sided Johanna Hausmann.
