John Mulaney, most commonly known for his stand-up comedy shows, is also an experienced writer, actor, and producer. Mulaney started off as a comedic writer for Saturday Night Live for many years before branching out into his more successful stand-up acts. His most popular specials are featured on Netflix, titled The Comeback Kid and New in Town.

In the past few years, Mulaney's stand-up acts featured on Netflix have done exceptionally well, resulting in him having really built up his name and brand. Since having composed such great content and positive feedback from the general public, Mulaney has taken on yet another tour and will be traveling to major cities starting and May. The name of this tour, Kid Gorgeous will kick off in Portland, ME and is scheduled to go on until 'whenever' according to Mulaney's social media.

Mulaney, a Chicago-born, was raised by Irish-Catholic parents. In his performances, Mulaney stresses what it was like growing up with three siblings, being an alter boy, and meeting Bill Clinton. Mulaney also finds humor is his adult life as well. Being an adult means buying a house, getting married, and raising a puppy.

What I have gathered from Mulaney's show is that he knows how to find humor is some of the most simple and terrifying situations. He has talked about what he has seen at high school parties when the cops are called, what family road-trips were like, and the crazy people he has met on the streets. During Mulany's acts, he finds different ways of communicating or relating to his audience. No matter the joke or story he is telling, he finds a way to incorporate everyone so he has the whole crowd laughing.

There is something about Mulaney's sense of humor that will make you laugh until your stomach hurts. His jokes are genuine stories and experiences he has encountered that he has chosen to share with us. One thing about Mulaney is that he never gets old. My friends and I constantly find ourselves rewatching his acts all the time, whether we sit down and binge-watch them all or we just have it in the background while we hang out.

If anyone is looking for a comedian that will make you laugh until you cry, this is him. Mulaney will help you see that all those insane childhood stories, awkward encounters with children or adults, and having to bring in a trainer because your french bulldog has become the master of home, are situations we've all lived through. Relating to his audience and making them feel like we're on the same level is something Mulaney does best. I recommend his stand-up to any and every person I meet looking for a good comedian. I can't stop smiling just thinking about it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
