not a special technically and honestly new in town is my favorite but I thought I’d rec this instead cus who hasnt seen new in town, it’s top 3 specials of all time for me. But enough about that, this is a 20 minute set John did the year before he landed snl and it’s a bunch of material from his CD the top part but some of it is extended versions of those bits. really fascinating to see him where he was right before he lands snl and where he was as an artist. Any time im in a creative rut (specifically a Stand up rut) I’ll watch this and for some reason it lights a fire under me.

watching ‘new in town’ with my sister who has never seen any of his specials. his cadence and ability to see the ridiculousness in everyday life is so special to me. still haven’t watched ‘baby J’

Probably some recency bias here (and he's not for everyone/rubs some the wrong way) but if it's possible to laugh out loud about addiction and recovery, our boy John is for you.
There's a bit in here about all the standups who came to his intervention that might be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The level of self-awareness is (chef's kiss).

It’s what my basket is for, if it breaks then I’ll just die it’s not that serious. I don’t even have that many eggs to begin with. I grew up in a single-egg-basket-household, who are these people with multiple egg baskets, do they walk among us?

On 🔁🔁🔁. Love this song. checking out this album & honestly mazzy star for the first time. I’m a bit late to the Mazz but you know when the best time to plant a tree is? Yesterday, you know when the second best time is? Right now.

I feel like I’ve picked up so much good music by just instantly downloading an opening act’s album right after their set. Just saw Wishy at baby’s all right last night and they had a band called Plastic open up, tight band & tight name, I’m sold. I feel like too many people skip the opener and I get it it can get tiring but I already know I’m gonna like the headliner lemme get a nice little surprise. this has GOT to be my last music rec for a little bit…
