Topics covered: Fit checks, sober people, incels, cancel culture, pills, red flags, tattoos, egg freezing, crowdwork, Jews, Hollywood, dating, marriage, trans, Kanye, and more.My new special juuuuuust went live on YouTube (at 7pm EST on 1/9/25) and I’d love for you to join me there for the online watch party. 🚨 Here’s the link to watch “BOLO” at YouTube. 🚨And if you’re reading this after the premiere, it’s still up so get over there and watch it when ya can. It’s my first big release since “Substance” (the doc/special/experiment where I perform on various substances) came out and I’m pumped to put something out in the world that’s pure jokes and me bringing it doing standup. This ain’t no TikTok influencer tap dancing, this is handcrafted, stage-to-table, NYC-flavored standup from the trenches. I ain’t famous so I have to go up onstage every night and prove it to a roomful of strangers. This is the result of that. Some of the topics covered: Fit checks, sober people, incels, cancel culture, pills, red flags, tattoos, egg freezing, crowdwork, Jews, Hollywood, dating, marriage, trans, f*ckbois, racism, the South, and Kanye. It’s smartfunny™️, goes there, and I guarantee both laughs and yikes. Share me, baby In addition to watching it, it’d be super cool if you’re able to post about it and/or share it with friends who might dig it. I’m trying to get as many views as possible in the initial few days since that makes the YouTube algo think a video is worth sharing. So trust me, it really helps if you share it. Below are some assets that you can use if you so desire… ▶️ BOLO full comedy special on YouTube (link): ▶️ Trailer on YouTube (link): ▶️ Trailer on Instagram: ▶️ Images: ▶️ You can also share this newsletter: Truly appreciate anything you can do to help spread the word.
