Comedy
In 12 years of doing stand-up comedy, seeing this show is a moment that truly sticks out for me. I've never felt like I've seen the inside of another comedian's brain, as much as I did last night. Jerrod Carmichael is already one of the most intimate comedians working today.
Johnny Pemberton has been on your movie theatre and TV screens for a long time.

Kidding. But Still. feels like you're hanging out at a fun New Year's Eve party and Greg Proops just happens to be holding court. Greg is someone I've been watching since I started comedy.
