5 things to know about comedian Hannah Berner before performance in Beaver Creek

What do street interviews with confused men, arguments over closed captions and Mets dugout skincare routines have in common? They’re all part of Hannah Berner’s comedic genius.

Berner has built a comedy empire on being brutally honest, wildly relatable and absolutely hilarious — and her 2.9 million TikTok followers can confirm it. You can check it out for yourself when she brings her “None of My Business” tour to the Vilar Performing Arts Center this Sunday.

Here are the Vilar staffers’ five favorite things about Berner’s approach to comedy that you should know before the show:

1. Street Comedy with a New York Edge – As a true New Yorker, Berner often takes the mic to the streets, asking passersby (usually men) quick questions that get hilarious responses while touching on timely topics like: “Would you rather lose a finger or a hairline?” and “When’s the last time you complimented your guy friend and what did you say?” Something to put in your back pocket if you need a conversation-starter.

2. The Great Subtitle Debate – In a now-viral podcast clip, Berner breaks down the divide in our country between two very distinct groups: those who love subtitles when watching TV and those enraged by them. Her take? “Some people read books, which I’m very impressed by. But I was thinking—who’s reading more? These people who read books, or me putting captions on every TV show? Closed captions. Am I reading more?” She ultimately decides that yes, in fact, she has read many shows. Bookmark that thought for your next family debate.

3. Holiday Shopping Inner Monologue – Berner’s self-filmed capture of her inner monologue while holiday shopping at Lululemon is worth a watch as we all recover from the past month. Don’t pretend like you haven’t had the same thoughts.

4. Sports Commentary Gold – Closely tied to the sports community, Berner has co-broadcasted the Ryder Cup golf tournament with comedian Colin Jost, joking from the stands that “it is a monster rally full of… I don’t know, accountants!” She’s also ventured into the Mets dugout for laughs, asking players about everything from their skincare routines to what they talk about with opposing players when they reach first base. You know, the sports topics people actually care about.

5. Character Work – Berner seamlessly switches between clips where she takes on outlandish yet easily relatable characters, like that annoying person in your yoga class who’s always the most fit: “You sweat? Ugh, I wish I could. I never sweat… Huh! Oh, I thought I was sweating for a second, but it was just from my Stanley.” Because ladies don’t sweat; they glisten.

The Vilar Performing Arts Center has established itself as a premier comedy destination in the Rocky Mountains, bringing some of the hottest stand-up comedians to Beaver Creek. Hannah Berner’s performance this Sunday builds on a stellar 2025 season that featured legends like Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Nealon, Brian Regan, Paula Poundstone and more.

The momentum continues into early 2026, with award-winning comedian Demetri Martin taking the stage on March 7 and Colorado native Dude Dad closing out the season on March 27. The Vilar’s uniquely intimate setting creates an electric atmosphere where audiences experience comedy up close and personal—a far cry from massive theaters where performers can feel distant and disconnected.

For comedy fans seeking an unforgettable night of laughter in the heart of the mountains, the Vilar continues to prove why it’s become the region’s go-to venue for world-class stand-up.
