Call his new album The Comeback Kid if you will, but Chicago born John Mulaney is no kid! For the past decade, he's performed stand-up comedy on stages around the world, written for Saturday Night Live and Documentary, Now!, and starred in his very own cancelled sitcom! So our John's a man-ish boy, then! The Comeback Kid is an all-audio recording of his Netflix special of the same name - his third album overall and first ever on vinyl! That works good, since The Comeback Kid harkens back to the age of classic comedy, when listening to a full length LP from the comfort of your living room, dorm room, or bathroom was all the rage! John's well-seasoned delivery and adroit storytelling lets him weave between topics and keep the audience involved every step of the way. Now The Comeback Kid can be yours, with no Netflix subscription required!
Last night John stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to talk about his current standup tour and album with another funnyman (Colbert, yo!) who was undoubtedly drawn to comedy by listening to stand-up albums over and over again. If this conversation is anything like their talk over shared experiences as altar boys, this show will undoubtedly serve as inspiration for young comedians everywhere! Watch here!
