The peace that Joe Pera brings with his comedy, especially with his critically acclaimed podcast, Drifting Off, is almost a necessity in times like these. The unfettered, even burgeoning chaos of the world seems distant when Pera is on stage and on the mic and Drifting Off makes it feel even more serene. Oh, and, of course, Pera is just so damn funny being the most understated comedian, perhaps, of all time.

Now, for 2024, it would seem we’re all getting a gift of Pera doing his podcast live and if the one time we got a piece of pie, a coffee mug, and some great socks from watching a special screening of Joe Pera Talks With You, a live Drifting Off ought to be a true delight.

For New Yorkers, you can (and very much should) get tickets for Drifting Off Live coming to Sat. Feb. 24th at 8PM at the Murmrr Theatre. Tickets are going for $35-$45, but probably not for long to be honest.
