Have you all watched Neal Brennan's latest special called Blocks on Netflix?

It's SO good, and it even has a shout-out to Bo!

Anyway, in honor of the special (and its incredible ending), here's a short post about the two comics:

1. Neal was an early champion of Inside, even tweeting about it the day after it was released

2. Neal attended the Netflix Is a Joke brunch with all the major comedians in May (including John Mulaney, Jerrod Carmichael and Bo—Neal is the one in the pink shirt and shades)

3. In a Consequence video, Neal discusses Bo and how his start on YouTube protected him from the harsh grind of comedy clubs. Neal also brings up "Can't Handle This" and how Bo finally named his mental health issue in Make Happy

4. In a recent New Yorker interview, Neal says that he texted Bo and Jerrod about his special's artistic set! 🤯

He specifically mentions their respective masterpieces and how they've influenced his upcoming work as well:

So Derek and I have an ongoing conversation about how to do shows that are more than just a press conference. Bo [Burnham], Jerrod [Carmichael]—I think those guys are of the same mind, too, which is: this can be more than a press conference. I think at one point while I was in rehearsals I texted Bo and Jerrod a picture of the set, like, “I hope you’re happy."

“Rothaniel,” and “Inside,” and, hopefully, my specials, and “Nanette,” and [Mike] Birbiglia’s specials, and Hasan [Minhaj]’s specials and Derek’s specials—I’m sure there’s somebody I’m forgetting—they’re doing something else besides the press conference.

Hope you've enjoyed this quick look at Neal Brennan and his "traumedy" (as he calls it). You can stream Blocks now—and it is well worth it! ✌🏼

Hi, everyone!

I’m back from my relaxing vacation week (thanks again for the birthday wishes!), and I wanted to give you all some updates about new content coming to my website:

I am currently working on a post about Neal Brennan and Bo. I just saw Neal on July 14th in Philly (he was FANTASTIC), so I wanted to analyze their interactions over the years (like Neal mentioning Bo in his newest special Blocks). Should be up by this weekend! 🙌🏼

I am still researching my The Bear article, but it will be posted soon! I also finally got a (very crappy) screenshot of the Bo reference, but if any skilled GIF creator could make one from “Forks,” I’d be forever grateful!

Finally, I am in the middle of conducting interviews with attendees of Kate Berlant’s one-woman play. If you were an audience member for ANY of her shows (last fall or the winter encore) and would like to tell me about your experiences, PLEASE reach out by DMing me here or emailing me at [email protected]. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far!

As a special treat, I did post an old parody song I had written in 2021 after Inside premiered that's like a Sesame Street-style version of Comedy called "Comma D." It's pretty goofy, and you can see my AMAZING artistic skills (hahahaha). 👀

Keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼

I didn't come to a comedy show for a good cry, but here we are.

Paraphrasing Neal Brennan here:

Please, show yourself some kindness and grace.

Your ways of being are not defects. They are the alchemy of your personality and spirit and they are enough.

#neal brennan #you are enough #be kind to yourselves #truth is where you find it

did neal brennan just get up in front of a crowd of people and a camera and the world and god and claim that women never meow

sir, i assure you

Comedians Off Stage Pt. 3

Mental illness and depression is real. Zach Rush covered how comedians handle mental illness.

The Dark Side of Comedy Creativity and mental illness have always had a thin line between them. This idea goes back over 2000 years when Aristotle said, “There is no great genius without a touch of madness.” One study recently found a direct correlation between the two, in the form of a gene called neuregulin 1 that is said to cause psychosis, but it is also commonly found in creative people.…

I won't show myself any kindness

I won't give myself any grace

I just grind and attack myself relentlessly like it's my job

I would love to stop

I like to believe that my ways of being, my thoughts, my habits, my emotions, my beliefs. I'd like to believe that they're not defects

I'd like to believe that the alchemy of a personality, my spirit, it's got to be enough

please

let that be enough

Brennan: ‘You've been more successful in relationships than me—but people are tricky, like, counting on people and connection as a means to happiness or fulfillment is really risky. And painful.’ Segura: ‘Well, it's painful if you allow yourself to feel a lot of it. Like that's one of the things you learn is that there's so many people who are just in companionship.’ Brennan: ‘Like they're just near each other?’ Segura: ‘Yeah, they're not super connected. You have to risk being super hurt to feel the other side of it. If you're like super hurt by someone, it's probably because you were really feeling strongly. You're really invested in it. But I don't know that you can rely on it to feel fulfillment, but you have to be open to it. And the crazy thing is you have to be willing to have been through something difficult, been hurt, and be willing to be vulnerable again, because without vulnerability, you have nothing in relationships. You have nothing. If you're not willing to be vulnerable, you will not feel, ultimately, love and fulfillment.’
