LOS ANGELES — Fresh off the release of his stand-up special “Baby J,” funnyman and new-ish father John Mulaney is currently giving new material the sniff test at the Largo Comedy Club in Los Angeles.
A-list comedians such as Zach Galifianakis, Will Ferrell, Sarah Silverman and Larry David often use the venue as an incubator for bits. The theater seats roughly 300 and was where the pre-rehab Mulaney gave his 2018 “Saturday Night Live” monologue a dry run in a surprise appearance on Oscar weekend.
Taped at Boston’s Symphony Hall after a string of life-changing and tumultuous events played out in the tabloids, Mulaney’s latest Netflix special addresses some of his bizarre behavior around that very same time.
