Comedian John Mulaney is coming to the Midland this spring

If you’re looking to kill an hour with some stand-up comedy on Netflix, may we recommend John Mulaney’s 2012 special New In Town? Mulaney is a co-creator of Bill Hader’s terrifyingly decadent Stefon character on Saturday Night Live, but Mulaney’s stand-up is more quotidian and observational, like a modern, Midwestern version of Jerry Seinfeld. 

We haven’t yet seen Mulaney, his new TV show on FOX, but even though it’s getting mixed reviews, we’ll be giving it a strong benefit of the doubt based on New in Town. 

Mulaney brings his act to the Midland on Thursday, March 19. Tickets are on sale this Friday beginning at 10 a.m. 

Here’s a clip from New In Town, below:
