I’ve followed Adam’s work for almost A decade now but was not familiar with his work as a stand up. Watched this over the weekend and it’s a lot of fun! If you’ve listened to his podcast or seen video of him on picket lines, it’s not surprising Adam is great at the performance of story telling and even just talking. Doubly recommend if you or someone you love has ADHD
Side note - just a general recommendation for the streaming service it’s on, Dropout TV, if you’re a comedy fan!

Probably some recency bias here (and he's not for everyone/rubs some the wrong way) but if it's possible to laugh out loud about addiction and recovery, our boy John is for you.
There's a bit in here about all the standups who came to his intervention that might be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The level of self-awareness is (chef's kiss).

A must watch when I’m sick. So creative that it barely watches like a comedy special in the traditional sense. Highly recommend!

The sheer amount of standup specials, YouTube/IG/TikTok stars, etc. oversaturate our brains, and I think it dilutes our experience. This is surely true of music for me lately - I need breaks from new things pretty often. I think another symptom of it being so abundant is the more you've seen, the harder it is to be surprised by new styles and personalities. I've been a life-long standup fan for as long as I can remember, and gimmicks and fads have always been a thing. But still, every year, something new grabs my attention. It just takes some digging to find the people that tell the kind of stories that make you laugh. Here are some ones I really liked recently:
Kyle Kinane - Dirt Nap
Jacqueline Novak - Get On Your Knees
Sheng Wang - Sweet & Juicy
Brian Simpson - Live From The Mothership
Chris Fleming - Hell (As mentioned in other responses, just the best kind of weird)
Taylor Tomlinson - Look At You
Nate Bargatze (any of his many on Netflix)

One of my favorite weekend activities! Here’s this weeks haul. It reminds me of going to the video store as a kid and gives me shopping vibes and I have a whole weekend of entertainment and did spend a cent.
