guy who's only ever watched John Mulany and Bo Burnham comedy specials after watching Baby J: I'm getting a lot of Bo Burnham vibes from this
#anyway. watch Douglass or Nanette because like#listen Inside is amazing. It's great we all love Inside yes yes but it isn't like. a comedy special. It isn't even trying to be#and the stuff mulany does to feel subversive in baby j is stuff he's doing very specifically in the context of a stand up comedy special#and if THAT's the vibe your looking for- someone who can masterfully control the tension and release of comedy#while having a strong and personal-feeling emotional core? Hannah Gadsby is right there babes treat yourself#ALSO if you need something lighthearted to detox after the emotional wringer of Nanette (and Douglass to an extent)#She did a really cute more lighthearted show last month on netflix!#what I'm saying is like....stand up comedy IS an art. There are ways to master the craft and differnt ways to define doing so#but that pointed control of the crowd is absolutely a feather in Hannah's cap. She's great at catharsis#Also a good pick for the people that don't like mulany because of the dave scandel? I don't care all that much about it but.#She's great is what I'm saying. Glad she's doing SO well rn
