At the risk of sounding spammy… I saw his _Kid Gorgeous_ show last night and I don’t remember the last time I laughed that much. If you’re not familiar with him, here’s a [sample](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=john+mulaney+current+tour) of his past material. ---

Mulaney is a stone riot; waiting on tenterhooks for his next Netflix special. That said, I’m having tough going with the Broadway show. ---

Can we get him to add an l and become Mullaney? I see Mulaney and want to say _Moo-LAH-ney._ ---

I’m not a big fan of his stand-up (his jokes make me smile more than laugh out loud) or his appearances on “Kroll Show”, but I liked some of the “Documentary Now!” episodes he co-wrote. ---

I’m generally pretty a hard nut to crack with comedians, but I think he’s hilarious. Definitely some of the best hours I’ve seen recently. ---

Remember the \*Mulaney \*sitcom a few years ago? I gave up on him after that turd. It was bad. But I might have to revisit some of his newer Netflix stuff. ---

> [@Barkis\_is\_Willin](#): > > Remember the \*Mulaney \*sitcom a few years ago? I gave up on him after that turd. It was bad. But I might have to revisit some of his newer Netflix stuff. I don’t think that means much with respect to his standup. Lucky Louie was awful too. ---

Yeah, I’m not a great fan of Louis CK, though. Mulaney, I was kind of excited for his sitcom and then, blech. ---

> [@Barkis\_is\_Willin](#): > > Remember the \*Mulaney \*sitcom a few years ago? I gave up on him after that turd. It was bad. But I might have to revisit some of his newer Netflix stuff. I concur. I recall learning about John Mulaney via a YouTube video, and thought he was HILARIOUS! Then I heard that he was going to be in a TV show & SO looked forward to it. It was bad. ☹ ---

Sweet, I got a ticket for his show next year. On the subject of stand up comedians, Bill Maher was a total disappointment when I saw him live in theaters. Patton Oswalt was amazing live though. ---
