John Mulaney is my favorite (or second favorite after Tig) stand up comedian out there today. He is hilarious on TV and in person. He came to Hopkins to perform a preview of his Netflix special. He did a lot of the same jokes as in his Netflix special with some extra jokes (about 30 minutes longer than his special). I love the voices he does (like of Bill Clinton) and his expressions and his sarcasm. He makes fun of these little moments in his life that anyone else might have forgotten. The jokes were funny the first time in person, and even though I know the punch lines, they are timeless jokes that still make me laugh. They're actually not totally timeless, they are topical to a certain time in the past sometimes, but he gives you enough background that it is still funny, like jokes about Back to the Future. For the record, he was worried that we wouldn't watch his special having already heard the jokes in person, but I did and it was totally worth it.
