Three Things We Love About Alex DeWitt
Master of micro‑sketches with big impact: Alex takes the tiniest human quirks: a mis‑sent text, that awkward check‑out moment, the weird handshake you forget about until later and turns them into fully‑formed comedic scenes. His sketches don’t rely on big setups, they rely on you recognizing yourself in the moment.
Impersonation as character work, not just mimicry: His takes on figures like Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson and Leonardo DiCaprio aren’t jokes about the celebrities. They’re full characters built from their quirks, affordances and mannerisms. That layering makes the laugh hit differently.
Authentically relatable: His comedy never feels forced or overtly showy. It’s rooted in real life, real moments, and real people. When you watch, you think “yeah, I’ve done that” or “wow, someone else has done that too”. That connection is rare and it’s real.
