Whether you\u2019re a comedy nerd or not, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve encountered one of his stand-up specials. Perhaps you\u2019ve seen all of Mulaney\u2019s Netflix content, and you\u2019re craving more. In that case, I\u2019m recommending <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Top Part<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, John Mulaney\u2019s first comedy album released in 2009. It features him early in his career making jokes about everything from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Law and Order<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to stories from the Bible. In my opinion, this album features John Mulaney\u2019s best joke to date \u201cThe Salt and Pepper Diner.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Lobby Baby<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Seth Meyers (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Available on Netflix)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-331 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175303\/Picture2-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175303\/Picture2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175303\/Picture2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175303\/Picture2.png 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 135px) 100vw, 135px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may recognize Seth Meyers from his time on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saturday Night Live<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as head writer and anchor of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weekend Update<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or his nightly NBC show, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

His role as a late night host and past SNL cast member gives him a rich history of funny stories to tell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Good One<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Tig Notaro (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Available on Spotify)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-332 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175438\/Picture3-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"127\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175438\/Picture3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175438\/Picture3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175438\/Picture3.png 408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 127px) 100vw, 127px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Tig Notaro has other filmed specials on Netflix and Comedy Central, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good One <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">showcases some of her best work. Tig is known for her deadpan delivery, telling jokes in the form of stories from her personal life. The star joke from this album is Tig\u2019s infamous Taylor Dayne story. Tig is a master of comedic timing, leaving the listener in suspense and creating an amusing level of disbelief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>The New One, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mike Birbigila <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Available on Netflix)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-333 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175608\/Picture4-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"138\" height=\"138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175608\/Picture4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175608\/Picture4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175608\/Picture4.png 408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 138px) 100vw, 138px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In his one-man show, Mike Birbigila brings his latest set to Broadway. The show centers around Birbiglia&#8217;s journey into parenthood. In a more narrative joke telling format, Birbiglia recounts how he went from not wanting children to having his own little baby girl with his wife. Despite the audience, Birbiglia\u2019s performance is intimate and the funny coincidences of his life keep you watching. You may not be interested in having kids anytime soon, but there are still plenty of jokes to make you chuckle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Oh, Hello on Broadway<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Nick Kroll and John Mulaney <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Available on Netflix)\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-334 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175718\/Picture5-300x222.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175718\/Picture5-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175718\/Picture5.png 502w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The characters George St. Geegland and Gil Fizon were popularized on Nick Kroll\u2019s Comedy Central program, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Kroll Show<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. George (John Mulaney) and Gil (Nick Kroll) are two eccentric elderly men with comically misinformed opinions. This Broadway performance serves as a memoir of sorts for Kroll and Mulaney\u2019s characters. The show is undoubtedly scripted, but it has an improvised feel. Given Kroll and Mulaney\u2019s chemistry, it is amusing to watch the two riff off one another in character.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Sweet &amp; Salty, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fortune Feimster <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Available on Netflix)\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-335 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175850\/Picture6-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175850\/Picture6-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2020\/03\/31175850\/Picture6.png 629w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Previously featured on Netflix\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Standups<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, this is Fortune Feimster\u2019s premier full-length special on the platform. Southern born and raised, Feimster\u2019s set jokes about the contrast between her debutante upbringing and tomboy tendencies. She riffs on her childhood experiences and sexual awakening. She brings out the humor in being a growing girl, who hasn\u2019t yet figured out her sexual identity.
