Saw John Mulaney in Tampa last night, man is a master class

First off, this is my first time seeing a big time comedian live, it was at the Straz. They had a no phone policy (i got a post it note explaining it), which I get, they don't want material getting out there before they release the eventual special. But the opener hadn't even started and they had security guards eagerly running up to people telling them to put them away. A lady got kicked out before the lights went down, which was fun. I had to walk out the theater just to text our babysitter we were going to be radio silent.


Mulaney was amazing. Usually with standup they have that one section that gets ho-hum and then you're back to laughing hard again. He was non stop killing it, loved the new material.

He REALLY doesn't like RFK jr. I guess he used to run in the same circles as a lot of comedians in New York City, and Mulaney made it clear a few times that he thinks Jr is a shite person.

So yeah, he went into politics a bit, but I thought he did a great job not belittling anyone who supports one side or the other. His stuff on Trump was more about his age, which was part of his bigger bit about how dangerous old people were, how any time up until 64 they will hardly vote, but then they hit 65 and that's all they want to do. All that to say he made an old couple who were sitting in the front row leave. He waved goodbye to them, asked if they were coming back. Apparently their daughter was still sitting, so he asked her. "They were grumbling a bit."

"Well....I did say they should stop voting and probably go ahead and die. Don't blame them."


Opening act was garbage, was glad she was only up for like 15 minutes or so.

He sells out pretty quickly, but if you get a chance, see Mulaney live. Great time.
