Have you all watched Neal Brennan's latest special called Blocks on Netflix?

It's SO good, and it even has a shout-out to Bo!

Anyway, in honor of the special (and its incredible ending), here's a short post about the two comics:

1. Neal was an early champion of Inside, even tweeting about it the day after it was released

2. Neal attended the Netflix Is a Joke brunch with all the major comedians in May (including John Mulaney, Jerrod Carmichael and Bo—Neal is the one in the pink shirt and shades)

3. In a Consequence video, Neal discusses Bo and how his start on YouTube protected him from the harsh grind of comedy clubs. Neal also brings up "Can't Handle This" and how Bo finally named his mental health issue in Make Happy

4. In a recent New Yorker interview, Neal says that he texted Bo and Jerrod about his special's artistic set! 🤯

Neal Brennan Longs for Connection

Andrew Marantz interviews the comedian Neal Brennan, who has a Netflix special called “Blocks,” about Dave Chapelle, ayahuasca, the ethics o

He specifically mentions their respective masterpieces and how they've influenced his upcoming work as well:

So Derek and I have an ongoing conversation about how to do shows that are more than just a press conference. Bo [Burnham], Jerrod [Carmichael]—I think those guys are of the same mind, too, which is: this can be more than a press conference. I think at one point while I was in rehearsals I texted Bo and Jerrod a picture of the set, like, “I hope you’re happy."

“Rothaniel,” and “Inside,” and, hopefully, my specials, and “Nanette,” and [Mike] Birbiglia’s specials, and Hasan [Minhaj]’s specials and Derek’s specials—I’m sure there’s somebody I’m forgetting—they’re doing something else besides the press conference.

Hope you've enjoyed this quick look at Neal Brennan and his "traumedy" (as he calls it). You can stream Blocks now—and it is well worth it! ✌🏼
