I am a huge fan of stand-up comedy, which hasn't been a great place to find enjoyment for quite some time now, what with the tiresome "edgy comic" bullshit. But stand-up that doesn't lazily substitute offensive trash for actual well-crafted comedy is having a bit of a resurgence, about which I'm so happy, because stand-up is my go-to when I'm feeling down. And I've been feeling down a lot lately, for what I'm going to assume are obvious reasons, lol.
There have been a flurry of great Netflix specials that I've enjoyed lately...
John Mulaney's Kid Gorgeous made me laugh until I cried. It's my #1 recommendation at the moment (and yeah I can't believe my top stand-up rec at this moment or any other is a straight white dude, but here we are because everything is upside down now).
Also:
Tig Notaro's Happy to Be Here
Hari Kondabolu's Warn Your Relatives
Gary Gulman's It's About Time
Ali Wong's Hard Knock Wife
How about you?
