“I love to play venues where, if the guy that built the venue could see me on the stage, he would be a little bit bummed about it," Mulaney says in the opening. Mulaney's singular tempo and delivery will have you in stitches in minutes regardless, but if you're looking for the most current bits and biggest sense of showmanship, get thee to Kid Gorgeous, a hilarious, glittering set that plants Mulaney's vaguely old-fashioned theatricality in the splendor of Radio City Music hall, where he plays to an enormous adoring crowd. Netflix is host to three of Mulaney's specials, (as well as Oh Hello on Broadway, the stage show he co-created with Nick Kroll,) New in Town, The Comeback Kid, and Kid Gorgeous at Radio City. John Mulaney is one of the most popular performers in comedy at the moment, and no matter which of his standup specials you pick, you'll immediately see why. That kind of human connection is part of what makes Tomlinson stand (up) above other comedians, and Netflix’s Quarter-Life Crisis is the perfect example of how brilliant Tomlinson can be. Besides that, few stand-up comedians have crowd control so on point as Tomlinson, who’s always trying to interact with her public, like a friend telling life stories we can all laugh about. Tomlinson is also not afraid to frame her life experience through a woman's eyes, underlining the specific challenges she must overcome while landing joke after joke. By stripping her soul on the stage, Tomlinson creates a deep connection with her audience because, let’s be honest, we are all human beings feeling awkward about ourselves and trying to adjust to social rules we don’t quite fully understand. In the special, Tomlison shares her personal experience as a 25-year-old, an embarrassing age when we have to deal both with the pressure of being young and enjoying life, and the responsibility of turning into an adult. Taylor Tomlinson’s Quarter-Life Crisis is raw, human, and above all else, fun.
