What follows is a special that manages to find some intimacy within what was once the world's largest auditoriums, while never once losing sight that, holy shit, Mulaney's playing Radio City.

This is arguably Mulaney's best hour special yet, a showcase for his immaculate writing and captivating stagecraft.

With "Kid Gorgeous," John Mulaney made the leap from highly respected writer and comic to elite A-list stand-up.

If you're of a certain age, you'll find yourself nodding in agreement.
