His bits about the life of an only child and fearing groups of straight men brought many laughs from the audience. \u00a0He was a great first act and a superb start to the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n Mulaney\u2019s classic style originally portrayed in <\/span>New in Town <\/span><\/i>(2012) and <\/span>The Comeback Kid<\/span><\/i> (2015) shine through in <\/span>Kid Gorgeous<\/span><\/i>, highlighting Mulaney\u2019s consistency and comedic genius. \u00a0He touches on present issues, such as politics, in a light, satirical way, as well as personal stories from his childhood, his career, and his married life. \u00a0His wife, Anna, was frequently mentioned, as well as their inherent religious differences, as Mulaney was raised Catholic while his wife was raised Jewish. \u00a0Another common topic Mulaney often brought up is his dog, Petunia, a French bulldog; the Petunia stories are always top-notch, rare to disappoint.<\/span><\/p>\n Mulaney knows how to effectively evoke emotion from his audience. \u00a0He is infectiously energetic and animated; the audience hangs on his every word, prepared to laugh at the clever ridiculousness of his content. \u00a0A former writer for <\/span>Saturday Night Live<\/span><\/i>, it\u2019s no wonder Mulaney is infinitely clever and creative, but one cannot help but to marvel at just how creative he truly is to come up with his material, as it is pure genius.<\/span><\/p>\n All in all, <\/span>Kid Gorgeous,<\/span><\/i> was a phenomenal show that is definitely worth attending if given the opportunity. \u00a0John Mulaney is a true entertainer with a kind soul and is sure to give anyone a laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n -Maggie Leone<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chicago-native and comedian John Mulaney graced Boston with his presence this week at Symphony Hall, performing his new show Kid Gorgeous a number of times, sometimes several per evening. \u00a0Max Silvestri, a fellow comedian, opened for Mulaney.
