Mike Birbiglia is finally coming to Western Canada in March. Probably the best story-telling comedian working today.

Was Jeffries new material? He was just here a year ago and it was the material that is in his just released Netflix special. I’d be impressed if he had a full new routine only a year later.

All brand new. He's said in the past that when he records a bit, he doesn't like to do it again. However, he did the Gunta bit at the end, tied into a new story about his mother.
This was the early show.

I forgot how much Demetri Martin cracks me up. His new special is great.
I was really underwhelmed. And I like Demetri Martin quite a lot. It was pretty bland, and I don't know what the point of the inner monologue bits were.
Might have had something to do with the fact that I watched Beer Hall Putsch the night before, which is basically pure stand-up genius (regardless of whether Stanhope is your personal taste, you have to acknowledge how impressive a feat it is to write that stuff). It's sort of like Bo Burnham - not for everyone, yet undeniably a genius.

I thought the new Demetri Martin special was pretty good. The voiceover went well with the "Overthinker" theme.
Stanhope is my favourite comedian. His recent show here in Calgary had me in tears.
Yeah, I got the connection between the title and the voiceovers, I just thought it was gimmicky and unnecessary. His whole comedy identity is overthinking things. He's essentially the stand-up equivalent of the Philosoraptor meme.
This stuff is great.
