For those who have Netflix, I highly recommend this brilliant "comedy special" that he has released recently. I am completely obsessed with it right now, and have watched it about 6 or 7 times, and often play just the songs through YouTube. If you are unfamiliar with him, you might watch the other two specials first, which is What and Make Happy, both of which show him maturing as a comic/musician. I think he is brilliant, and this latest special shows him by himself during the pandemic, which means he did everything on this special, from writing to editing to directing, and the amazing staging of what he did.
Warning, it is a bit of a downer for those who want comedy specials to focus on comedy and not the sadness of the pandemic and the weight on one's mental state during this time. I identified the fuck out of this.

Loved this. It's amazing what other people did while under lockdown (Seth Rogen got into pottery and started a weed company), while I simply put on 20 lbs.

I worked 1.5 jobs, never missed a day of work, and am in better physical shape than I have been in probably 20 years--back when I had to leave Uechi Ryu (the best style karate, if you ever want to study one).

Yep, that's amazing, Null. I've watched it so many times. If you've not seen Inside yet and you like that, I'd definitely encourage you to watch it. Especially if you like how real he got at the end of that song. The second half of the special is almost all this kind of realness.
