Which I then doubled down on. Or maybe it's Mulvaney who's a real hoot.

Was thinking Nick Mulvaney.

Regardless, it was not super great. Sad about it.

Mulaney (John) is incredible. He’s my favorite stand up currently. Saw him in Greensboro and have never laughed so hard.

Yeah, he's definitely one of the best going today. The bit on college tuition/donation in Kid Gorgeous is so goddamn funny.

And Big Mouth might be the funniest show on tv.

I had high hopes, but found it so mildly amusing that I turned it off in the middle as I was getting more laughs from the book I found myself half-reading while it was on. I'll finish it some time, but maybe audibly breathed through my nose three times in the first 40 minutes, and twice that was from the same joke about man-splaining.

Finally watched Birbiglia's The New One Broadway show on Netflix. More a one-man show than stand up, but whatever it is it's very funny and worth watching.

You'll have a premium view of the back of my head.

Per an email he just sent, we may be getting signed copies of his new book, too.
