ALBUM: Eugene Mirman reveals a series of mild grievances with warmth
and wonder in his first special and album in a decade, Here Comes The
Whimsy. He shares anecdotes from fatherhood, insights from travel, and
tackles dress-code trauma and rental car disputes with a playful spirit that
is both sharp and silly. He continues his tradition of offering untraditional
ways to purchase the album, including packages that come with politically
confusing magnetic bumper stickers, a small framed and autographed piece
of Japanese siding from his house, a custom obituary, and a commemorative
plate with a royal title. The New York Times writes, “Mirman’s stand-up is
infused with a warm and cheerful sense of the ridiculous,” while Mike Birbiglia
once called Eugene the “Andy Warhol of comedy.” Eugene is confident that
this is the last comedy special you’ll listen to (if you take poison right after).
