John Mulaney: Kid Gorgeous at Radio City

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
