They say laughter brings us together, which is ironic considering that comedian Roy Wood Jr. is aiming to get a few cackles by pointing out the lack of community and connection we're experiencing in modern society with his new stand-up special Roy Wood Jr.: Lonely Flowers.
Premiering tonight, January 17, on Hulu, the new comedy hour is the former The Daily Show correspondent's fourth live special, and his first for the streaming service. Filmed in the Lincoln Theatre in Washington D.C., the stand-up event sees the famous funnyman exploring "how lack of connection has sent society spiraling into a culture full of guns, rude employees, self-checkout lanes, and why some of us would rather be alone rather than be connected," reads the show's official synopsis. (“I saw somebody get bad service at the gun range. How you gonna be rude to someone who showed up to practice murder?” Wood Jr. quips during the special.)
