As part of San Francisco’s big annual music and arts festival to do, Outside Lands, they always have a pretty sizable line-up of comedy reserved for the Barbary portion of the festival.
This year, as you can see above, is no different as it’s co-curated by SF Sketchfest.
If you’re on board, get your tickets here.
From sketch to recurring characters to playing Off-Broadway to touring across America to actually playing Broadway in NYC, Nick Kroll and John Mulaney have reached a zenith in theater with their characters Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland and their live show Oh, Hello.
Starting September 23rd then currently running through January 8th, Oh, Hello on Broadway will run at The Lyceum Theatre. You can get your tickets now and you should do so quickly.
Kroll and Mulaney have not only managed to go from “Off Broadway” to “Broadway”, but are thankfully bridging a gap between sketch comedy and theater.
This time they’ll be playing teenagers as opposed to old men with a lot of spunk.
Oh, Hello has brought Nick Kroll and John Mulaney to the forefront of comedy as two senior best friends who are very, very, very opinionated, especially when it comes to tuna.
Taking notice, Netflix has ordered an animated series from Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that will put the voices of Kroll and Mulaney in the starring roles of two teenagers going through hitting puberty along with Maya Rudolph and Jason Mantzoukas. As it’s animated, we’re sure that they’ll up the ante on how ridiculous they can get.
Look for Big Mouth to start streaming in 2017.

Gil Faizon and George St. Geelgand/Nick Kroll and John Mulaney dug through an archive of Kroll Show and found a gem of an episode from their Too Much Tuna prank show featuring the one and only Paul Feig.
It turns out that it doesn’t matter if you know it’s too much tuna or not. It’s still too much tuna.
At this point, It should not really come as a surprise that Conan O’Brien going overseas to remote places makes for really great television. Cuba, Armenia, and Mission Conan to the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar for the troops have all really showcased O’Brien and his show’s versatility in the still early, formative stages of this new era of late night.
Whether it be working with military dogs…
…or just doing hosting a live show…
…or ribbing the troops just right…
…or giving EOD a try…
…or having Conan writers Brian Kiley and Laurie Kilmartin do stand-up…
…as well as John Mulaney and Grace Potter perform all the way over in Qatar…
…Conan makes a great case for way more of this to be ordered by TBS.
Even when, he couldn’t get a camera in the plane with First Lady Michelle Obama, the show cooked up something pretty great.
All that wishing and hoping is working apparently.
In addition to a night in San Diego and dates in Boston, Nick Kroll and John Mulaney are taking Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland’s Oh, Hello to Washington D.C. San Francisco, and Chicago for a few nights.
Specific dates and tickets available here.
For those on the West Coast, you know what you need to do next Thursday.
Odds are that this is the closest you’ll get to seeing Oh, Hello for awhile.
Just as an off-Broadway show, Oh, Hello, with John Mulaney and Nick Kroll as the two mischievous geriatric New Yorkers, has done quite well in its run selling out both at The Cherry Lane Theatre and doing the same at Boston’s Wilbur Theatre.
With all their success, Mulaney and—, St. Geegland and Faizon we should say, taped an entire press conference, which is probably as good as any teaser we could have gotten for the show.
You can catch a solid 5 minutes and change of it here and then watch the whole thing streamed live at MNN on Tues. Dec. 29th 5PM PST and Wed. Dec. 30th at 7PM PST.
John Mulaney and Nick Kroll are keeping some of The Kroll Show’s most enduring characters, George St. Geegland and Gil Faizon, going, which is really a pretty great gift to us all.
Not only do they have an acclaimed off-Broadway show “Oh Hello” running at The Cherry Lane Theatre, but they made probably one of the most memorable late night appearances this year.
Fully in costume and character, St. Geegland and Faizon chatted with Seth Meyers on Late Night and Meyers could barely keep a straight face through the whole conversation.
For those of us unable to see Oh, Hello, for now, this is the next best thing.
So, clear out four hours on your schedule this weekend like you know you want to.
Or, more realistically, clear out four hours just for today where you can watch John Mulaney’s new hour stand-up special The Comeback Kid and all 5 episodes, spanning three hours, of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross’ With Bob & David on Netflix in one go.
If you do, for once, Friday the 13th will be funnier than it is scary.
After a tumultuous journey with his sitcom at Fox, John Mulaney made a return to the thing that put him on the map in the first place: stand up.
This new hour stand-up special coming to Netflix, The Comeback Kid, should prove that John Mulaney is still one of those funniest comedians around.
You can get your first glimpse of it here and here, then look for its release on Netflix this Fri. Nov. 13th.
The stars of Too Much Tuna (a show within The Kroll Show universe, Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland/Nick Kroll and John Mulaney are bringing their senior citizen, millennial informed antics to off-Broadway with Oh, Hello Live! on (off )Broadway.
They’ll be following the likes of Colin Quinn and The Daily Show’s Hasan Minhaj at the ever-popular-with-comedians off Broadway Cherry Lane Theatre with their run of Oh, Hello going Dec. 1st-20th.
As Oh, Hello is sold out constantly here in LA, get your tickets while you still can here.

You do have a Netflix account by now, right?
Of the things that Netflix has on its production slate, stand-up specials seem to be probably on the cheaper side of things and the sort of content that does well on the streaming service giant.
So, they’ve got another whole round of hour comedy specials coming this year that will be worth making a reminder wherever you make reminders including:
Demetri Martin: Live (At the Time)-Fri., Aug. 14
Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers-Fri., Oct.16
John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid-Fri., Nov. 13
Brent Morin-Tues., Dec. 1
So, if you don’t have Netflix, now would be a good time to get it, especially since Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp comes out this week.
Amidst this golden age of television, John Mulaney gave us all some reasons that HBO’s The Jinx should win as many TV awards that it can for his set on The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail.
Also, take not of there being a teenager in the crowd during his hilarious explanation.
We went to as many of the tapings for season 2 of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail and we have to say you’re in for lots of treats, many of which involve actual food.
Just watch this behind-the-scenes/inside look/interview with Jonah Ray, Kumail Nanjiani, and producer Emily Gordon to get a sense of the fun that’s in store for all of you.

John Mulaney sat down with Jimmy Kimmel last night and, as John has a show on network television, talked about his show.
Unfortunately, Fox‘s Mulaney has had a rough start with ratings and reviews and John did not shy away from that. However, Kimmel gave John an unexpected positive twist on the situation.
Watch parts one and two of the interview here.
When John Mulaney released his great stand-up special New In Town, longtime friend and compatriot Dan Mintz interviewed him “Between Two Ferns” style.
So, it’s only appropriate that Mulaney would return the favor for Mintz with the release of Mintz’s brand new comedy album “The Stranger”.
Watch 6 or so glorious minutes of friends ripping each other part over at The A.V. Club.
