John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid

John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid (2015) is a Netflix stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM, with the former SNL writer returning to the stage for sixty minutes of carefully built stories.

Mulaney covers marriage, his firm objection to babies, and a Bill Clinton encounter that ends somewhere neither you nor Clinton could reasonably predict. The delivery is unhurried — no prop work, no stage movement, just a guy at a microphone who has thought hard about where each line lands.

His second Netflix hour, and the one that set the template for his storytelling approach in everything that followed. Stream The Comeback Kid online on iFILM.
