Back in February 2026 I added up the 5 most commonly utilised platforms, for my list of 29 comedians (here).
This new summary is for June 29th 2026 and the posts, per platform, are:
As ever – If you want to know more about why some comedians are not included in reports, how I gather the data, which I stated with 100+ names and am now down to only 29…then see here.
I’m going to reduce the list of 29 to 24, from now on – see below.
5 Social Accounts Totals
Comparing numbers to February 23rd 2026 we have the same Top 3 Americans (blue) and the same Top 3 Brits (gold).
Always amuses me to say that Jimmy is the only one with a “gold run” (if you don’t know…Blockbusters, TV show). Indicating he is Top3 across all accounts.
The “n/a” cells are (obviously) where no account exists and Andrew Santino appears to have recently deleted his X account (in favour of one for his podcast).

Growth Data / Feb to June 2026
This view below shows who has added the most followers, across the 5 platforms, in the 4 months Feb-June 2026. To dig deeper into where the losses / gains were – you can see the individual reports on the links at the top of this post.
This perspective shows who has been the most active / popular most recently – despite the age verification shenanigans causing drops in numbers (especially on X).
Jimmy’s accounts have added a lot more numbers than the Brit in 2nd place (Michael McIntyre) and this puts him in 3rd place overall (down from 2nd in the Oct > Feb period).

Kudos to Max Amini, btw. If we look at the top 4 for Oct 2025 to Feb:

And then the one for Feb to June:

We can see that he’s muscled his way to the top spot (from a growth perspective). Pushing Matt Rife and Jimmy down to 2nd and 3rd.
Fluffy Guy (Iglesias) dropped down from 4th to 7th.
Kevin Hart is still untouchable (overall) – it’s just that he’s just lost 4m+ followers. With 273m remaining I’m not sure he’ll even notice.
Looking at just the Top 3 Brits – this is the change in their overall subscribers numbers in the past 4 months.

List reduction
I’m removing a few names, going forward…from all reports. This will make the monitoring a little quicker and drop off a handful from the bottom.
- Stavros Halkias
- Andrew Santino
- John Mulaney
- Pete Holmes
- Russell Peter
I’m going to leave Peter Kay in as there are only 7 Brits (in the above list of 29). Mark Normand I’m leaving in, instead of Russell Peters, as he has a similar joke style to Jimmy, has started touring Europe and is showing more growth on his online accounts.
Now we have 24!
