The Best Stand-Up Comedy Specials Available Online

Stand-up comedy has been undergoing somewhat of a renaissance on the Internet lately. As distribution methods for content have changed and people have been able to stream or download sets from their favorite comics instead of going to see them at clubs or waiting for their next stand-up special on Comedy Central, the variety of comedy available has expanded beyond a handful of high-profile performers.

2. John Mulaney – New in Town

Recommended Videos

john-mulaney-new-in-town

John Mulaney is one of the funniest comics around right now, even if he isn’t one of the most instantly recognizable. A good portion of his career has been behind the scenes as a writer for Saturday Night Live. He certainly gained visibility with his first hour-long comedy special, New in Town, and is poised to become even more of a household name when his sitcom Mulaney debuts on Fox at some point in the (hopefully) near future.

New in Town is comprised mostly of story-based comedy, although Mulaney also has a pretty great bit about Law and Order: SVU which, while somewhat less personal than his other material, is still pretty hilarious. The piece de resistance, though, is his story about going to a health clinic to try to get a Xanax prescription, with hilariously awful results. It’s a story that would make a great episode of a sitcom, which bodes well for the future success of Mulaney.
