This 11-Year-Old Comedian Is Killing Audiences With Her Hilariously Inappropriate Jokes
427Kviews
Let's be honest: kids aren't very funny. Not intentionally anyway. Sure they do funny things by accident, but they're not exactly known for their comedy-timing or their razor-sharp wit. Not unless that kid is Saffron Herndon anyway. Because although she's only 11 years old, Saffron is tearing up venues across America with her outrageously inappropriate yet undeniably hilarious comedy performances.
"I think I have always liked to surprise people and make them laugh," Saffron told Bored Panda. "My dad did stand up and would come home with stories about it and it sounded fun. I was like, "I want to make a crowd of drunk people laugh.""
Saffron writes all her own material and she's performed at many different festivals and shows including Gilda Radner's Laughfest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Dallas Comedy Festival, and Amsterdam Comedy Festival in Texas. "At first big shows were tough when the crowd didn't expect me. I realized I had to get my age out of the way early. My dad and I named the jokes I tell up front "Elephant" 'cause I felt like an elephant in the room. I come out and say, "I'm not what you were expecting am I?" They always laugh. Sometimes nervously."
When asked where she saw herself in ten years time, Saffron said "Ten years will almost double my life. Hmm. I still want to do stand up. I would like to be on my tenth season of SNL. Definitely want to star in my own series. And lots of pets."

Hm...I do not think it is a good idea to transfer these on-stage quotes to still images. What I guess could be genuinely funny black humour on stage get's a brat-ish appeal when reading it for yourself. After all, stage comedy is much more than clever quotes.
On the other hand: I find the images with the jokes quite funny, whereas watching a video with her, it so obviously isn't really her humour. It seems too much like she just learned by heart some jokes that her parents wrote. It's a trick pony, at least it looks like that in video.
She's only 11yo, think and read again what you just said. Most adult comedians are far worse than this girl.
Dad's a comedian and she "writes her own stuff?" Right...
Her Dad is her inspiration you mong, you need to lighten up a bit.
Yes Sam, and Britney Spears is still a virgin.
Mong is such a great word, thanks for that!
With a name like Fernando no-one will take you seriously.
she writes her own stuff? i think not.. some people are really gullible
Eh, I didn't find this funny
Hate to ruin the illusion but her comedian dad is definitely the one writing her material here.
This girl Rocks!!!
it's so funny omg, hillarious, I'm dying on the floor... hahahaha... ... not

oh and before I forget, if she's actually 11 then her parents are idiots...

This kid is hilarious and genius and actually very pretty! I can say this because I am 12.And a girl.
im 3 years too late but same
parents living through their kids, sad.
No
1 year older than me and so good at jooks
Why do people focus on her age and life? The jokes are hilarious by themselves. "It's funny 'cause it's true" - The Simpsons
The jokes sound exactly like what you'd expect from a 40 year old, liberal, atheist twat with his head up his ass and a stupid affection for 90s alternative bands. Nobody with half a brain would believe that this little bitch comes up with the jokes herself
WOAH CALM THE HECK DOWN
i stopped at #2, seemed like a stupid cunt after that.
What do I think? I think she's brilliant!
Girl, you have earned my respect
Im about to fucking ROAST HER SHE LOOKS LIKE AN ANGRY BIRD WITH THAT HAIRLINE!

ugh shes so rude and disrespectful about other peoples beliefs and makes jokes about it
Like adult comedians' humor is clean and pure. Ever hear Bob Saget? He makes lewd jokes about his kids. And he was on a wholesome show.
