You have to have a strong stomach to endure the laughter that Mulaney brings.The energy he brings is infectious with a in your face candidness without losing his intellectual honesty about each subject.The way he dances from joke to joke like a trained dancer with elegance and power is something others need to study who want a lasting career in his profession.You cannot be funny like this without hard work and sheer brass balls to take the joke as far as it can go without losing the audience. Mulaney's is a skill and an art not a shtick or a routine.
He has payed a cost for this type of talent and I am sure that $120.000 he spent on a formal education was just a part of it.
