Rachel Brosnahan, who portrays Midge Maisel

Rachel Brosnahan as Miriam "Midge" Maisel (née Weissman), an upper-middle class Jewish American housewife and mother who discovers her flair for stand-up comedy after husband Joel abruptly leaves her. Fashion-obsessed and hyper-competent, Midge is hired as a make-up counter girl at B. Altman and starts performing stand-up comedy in clubs across New York, eventually becoming a world-famous comedian.
Alex Borstein as Susie Myerson, who runs the Gaslight Cafe and later becomes Midge's manager after recognizing Midge's natural talent.
Michael Zegen as Joel Maisel, Midge's estranged, later ex-husband, who leaves Midge for his secretary, Penny Pann. He is an aspiring, though untalented, stand-up comic who copies Bob Newhart's routines.
