It was a little bit of a letdown compared to his other specials but maybe that was the point and he needed to focus this one one on his rehab and intervention. Hes a good storyteller and I loved the bit at the end critiquing his own interview to GQ while he was on drugs.

I’m a huge fan of comedy and I was a huge fan of John Mullaney.

He had to go all in on this drug/rehab material to redeem himself. I get that. He made it funny. But it’s not his best act.

I did LOL in several spots. But it’s definitely not a show you can rewatch and there are tons of stories that drag without a laugh.

Im curious who else was at his intervention beyond the 3 he mentioned.

When we saw him at Merriweather, the spent so much more time on the intervention. Do impressions of Nick Kroll, and Bill Hader, and Natasha Lyon. It was the best part of the act. A little disappointed that part got cut out of the special

I thought it was hilarious

I started watching but stopped ... too long and too few laughs for me.

He and Birbiglia are good friends. Both went to Georgetown, right?

Yes, with Kroll.

I'm also seeing these guesses elsewhere:
- Joe Mande (actor/comedian)
- Kevin Nealon (actor/comedian)

He listed them by first name in the credits, I could figure out who some were with a little googling for "first name" "comedy."

I'm a PP who was mid-watching when I posted. I loved the first half+ but I agree that the momentum slowed down later in the show and there were stories I wanted him to finish so that we could get on to the next thing. Still, I missed him and enjoyed it (and want to go back and rewatch his older stuff for the 3rd, 4th time...).

Link to the GQ article he mentions at the end of his show.

We saw this at merriweather last summer. Basically the same routine. I laughed as much on Netflix as I did in person.

He is so good!

It’s ok.
