Comedian and Saturday Night Live alum John Mulaney's delivers again with his second Netflix Special. It is a rock solid ride for any stand up comedy fan. John's hilarious takes include stories about his dog, his wife, meeting Bill Clinton, and his Dad's beef with Bill Clinton. His style is very much an preppy young man who speaks fast and fits in as many jokes as possible per minute. He doesn't really tell jokes, he tells stories with his own hilarious takes on them. The pace is fast and and nonstop. This special is fantastic and flies by. It's worth watching multiple times. His delivery and stage presence are terrific.

Many comics, like a Steven Wright or Mitch Hedberg, thrive on sets of one-liners. Others, like a Mike Birbiglia or Patton Oswalt, are storytellers. They tend to build to a climax, often inserting callbacks to earlier jokes for continuity. That creates more of a connection between the audience and the experience.

In this case, Mulaney sprinkles tidbits about his parents - especially his father - throughout a mostly biographical routine. All of those insights come together in his final anecdote about meeting Bill Clinton, maximizing its payoff. Superbly structured.

I don't know John Mulaney from any of his other work, but I'm doing a little homework before seeing him in person at a comedy venue in about a month. This special comes from the Chicago Theatre in 2015, with Mulaney's routine delving into such topics as growing up Catholic and being an altar boy, recently getting married and not having kids, smoking weed, and crazy people in general. This one seemed to have slightly more profanity than his 2012 show called 'New Kid in Town', but that didn't seem to be his primary focus as opposed to a lot of other comics who drop a four letter word into almost every sentence. Mulaney closed his routine with a funny story about meeting Bill Clinton as a child; the hook there being that the former president had college classes with the comedian's mother. It could have been totally risque, but Mulaney managed to keep it above board.
