John Mulaney's latest comedy special on Netflix was long anticipated and definitely met all of my expectations. If you have enjoyed his past comedy specials; New in Town, and The Comeback Kid, you will definitely enjoy this new one as well. The only other thing I have to say for this show is that at the time it was released on Netflix he had already hosted SNL and used many of the same jokes from the show in his opening monologue. He also notably had already done his 'horse in a hospital' bit in an interview with Stephen Colbert in 2017. This didn't bother me at all, and obviously a large part of being a comedian is recycling jokes for new audiences. Hearing the same jokes a second time did not dampen my enjoyment of the set as a whole. Overall it is very entertaining and I'm sure I will watch it many more times, just as I have with both New in Town and The Comeback Kid.

Comedian and Saturday Night Live alum John Mulaney's delivers again with his third Netflix Special. It is a rock solid ride for any stand up comedy fan. John's hilarious takes include musings about manners, relationships, religion, and the state of modern politics. His style is still very much a preppy young man who speaks fast and fits in as many jokes as possible per minute. He doesn't really tell jokes, he tells stories with his own hilarious takes on them. The pace is fast and and nonstop. This special is fantastic and flies by. It's worth watching multiple times. His delivery and stage presence are terrific.

We have watched all of his specials so many times and introduced friends and family to them as well. They all love him! I have to have background noise so I put him on a lot of the time because when I do pay attention, I'm guaranteed a laugh no matter what part he's at! Talented guy, no doubt!

"A horse loose in the hospital." Hands down, this is by far the funniest standup comedy I have ever watched in TV!

I have seen all of Mulaneys specials, and found them all hilarious, just like this one. His jokes are relatable, his comedic timing is perfect as always and he just kept surprising me. I've never laughed harder than this in my life, my personal favourite being the Street Smarts bit, I was crying at that part. In conclusion if you enjoyed Kid Gorgeous, New in Town you'll definitely enjoy this as well.

Most comedians make me cringe. I rarely laugh at the jokes they deliver. That is not the case with Mulaney. He genuinely makes me laugh, and that's why I have bought two of his specials on iTunes. Radio City was my first purchase, and my enjoyment prompted me to buy his prior material. I hope he tours, again, in Portland, Oregon. I want to see him, live.

Loved the stage design, venue, and lightning. Smooth direction, noticed how it often focused on accompanying the stories John was telling through composition and specific cuts, it helps elevate the jokes when it's done well.

I find Mulaney to be a very likeable entertainer, with his line delivery and vocal tone being his biggest strength as a comedian. He is able to use his known persona and attributes to throw you off when building up certain jokes. However, watching such a special years later, it shows how quickly they can become restricted within their own time period, many of them that chose to heavily focus their comedy at that time on the 2016 Presidential election.

That was my least favourite part honestly, maybe it was a new take on it at the time, but by now every joke has been made a hundred times over and over, it hurts the rewatchbility factor of a lot of comedy specials when they can become so about their own period of time, leaving nothing to come back to at times.

My favourite one was the about the email from his friend in college. Interested to see the next Netflix special after his experience in rehab to see how his work develops. I found this most interesting stories were the personal ones about his family then and now, need more of those. Good all around, nothing insanely different or exciting for me.

I got to see John Mulaney live during his Kid Gorgeous tour in 2018 and it was probably the funniest live stand up show I've ever been to. Stand Up Comedy is incredibly hit or miss for me. I either love someone's act or I don't. No in between. He's great because he's got an edge but he's not offensive. He's personal but willing to take on the man. And best of all, he's actually funny. He has such an amazing way with words and humor. His best material is when he's talking about his personal life and his bizarre encounters with wacky, almost literally like, characters. He doesn't talk down to people and he's a master of self deprecating humor. It's incredible how far this man has come in recent years after only 4 specials. Kid Gorgeous is hilarious, heartfelt and smart. His stories about his parents and childhood are great and his brilliant metaphor for the current "presidential" administration is the best I have heard and likely ever will. It's smart but not obvious and mean spirited. He's just being honest with himself and how he feels (I happened to agree). I'd rather a comedian be honest about how they feel then just try to shock and offend people for the sake of it. That's why Mulaney and others like Carlin and Pryor are so great. They were honest with their feelings. They laid it all out for us to see. And I feel that if Mulaney keeps this up, he will one day be among the greats, if he isn't already. It's a toss up for me as to which of his specials is the best. I'm pretty partial to The Comeback Kid Myself, But this may be a very close second. He's one of the few stand up comedians I feel is worth watching. I can't wait to see what he does next.

As a Brit' I find U. S stand-up hit and miss.

A lot of the time the references are very U. S-centric with a lot of repetition and shouting.

When John walked on stage, with is shiny clean chat show host look, I was all set to dislike him.

I was so wrong.

This guy is hilarious.

His delivery is high energy without being over whelming and nothing was so niche it didn't translate across the ocean.

His material is not only funny but clever and doesn't get too mean.

A lot of humour regarding Trump tends to be crude character assassination with less wit behind it than a bad mum-joke.

But John's take on Trump was cutting without being mean and very, very funny.

This is one of those comedies I am sure to wheel out whenever I am blue - I expect to watch this many more times in the future.

Lately there are a lot of stand up / comedians on netflix here in Holland, or I just discoverd them, any I see a lot of new people, it is nice. But I also see many that I think like, it is boring, but ok I keep listening because I can focus more on my computer game ;).

But sometimes I think like: this is really not for me and this show is. I tried 2 times and after 12 minutes I turned it off. It is not funny, it is annoying, it looks like a doll that is performing (I mean his face looks expressionless), he is loud, it looks fake... I don't know, it is not for me. It is like those late night shows where everything is rehearsed till it is 'perfect' and the crowd is being crazy on command. But here you have an emotionless person who just rattles and the crowd is laughing on que.

Did I tell you it is nothing for me ;). So better I stop typing.

This special simply isn't as good as his first two. It's like listening to your crazy uncle rant about everything under the sun for an hour and and a half. He occasionally hits the mark, but more often swings and misses.

I'm just 30 minutes in, and haven't laughed yet. Very disappointing. I loved his last stand-up specials, but this one is just trying too hard and not working (reminds me of his horrible attempt at a sitcom).

New in Town 9/10

This garbage 2/10.

I couldn't get it off my screen fast enough. I would honestly ask for a refund if I went to his show but I'm also not stupid enough to spend money on that garbage. Poor guy was funny for one act like a million years ago and when he tried to turn that one act into a sitcom containing only his stand up jokes, I had a feeling he was done for.

SOmetimes I just don't get John Mulaney. I know he has had struggles in his life, but he seems to think that entitles him to make fun of others'. He's always going on about addicts and trans people and midgets and I just...why? His personal material is so much better, I wish he would stick with that instead of tired old punches down. No one cares what you think about trans people, John Mulaney! You're a rich white boy from the suburbs. Talk about that!

5/3/18. Mulaney is funny but he has a very annoying whiny voice. If you don't let that bother you, then you can enjoy his comedy.
