I had never heard of John Mulaney, but he's part of a venue lineup that I have a season ticket for, so I thought I'd check him out here. He actually is a pretty funny guy, making self deprecating cracks about his youth and gayish good looks. It was also refreshing that he kept the use of four letter words to a minimum. Yeah, he throws an 'f' bomb in there every once in a while but it's not jarring like other comics who use it quite liberally. His routine includes stories about his lawyer parents, how mean thirteen year olds can be, how he'd get drunk and black out at parties he ruined, and some timely advice on how to get a script for Xanax. He throws in a slam at the 'Ocean's' movie franchise stating that they could never make one with women because they'd be gossiping instead of concentrating on the heist. Of everything he mentioned, that one didn't turn out to be prophetic at all, since "Ocean's Eight" came out in 2018. I wonder if he ever revisited that joke after seeing the movie?
Plot summary
Stand-up comedian John Mulaney tackles such red-hot topics as quicksand, Motown singers and an elderly man he once met in a bathroom.

Flipping Hilarious
The thoughts and feelings of comedian John Mulaney: a pleasant, nearly-30-year-old man, who enjoys making fun of himself and others.
I love the great opening with the throwback to 1980s television. I love how he claims the phrase "on the phone with Blockbuster" is now an outdated and antiquated expression. I love the differences pointed out between the word "midgets" and the N-word...
The inclusion of Amy Schumer was a bit odd, considering she has no lines whatsoever. A wise use or a waste of good talent? Anyway, an excellent stand-up performance from a bright, relatively young comedian. I hope he does more specials and tours. I would buy a ticket.
Worthwhile
Excellent standup special. A traditional set that features many surprising one-liners and nuggets of wisdom while subtly integrating personal stories that span his entire life. In his first Netflix special, Mulaney really throws down the gauntlet and delivers a hilarious, inspired hour of comedy.
