John Mulaney has taken the nation by storm as a writer for "Saturday Night Live", touring the country with his stand-up and performing on late night talk shows. On his second full-length album, John picks apart social norms, takes a sobering stance on drinking, and teaches us it's OK for a doctor to touch you in your special place.

Mulaney Madness Is Outstanding
I've been listening to Mulaney for a while on XM radio -- and think he is one of THE very best around! Young as he is, his material is clever and unique. His timing and tone are stellar, and this album is incredible -- I listen over and over and over, and his delivery knocks me out every single time. The stories are hysterical, with his tendency to laugh at himself and still come up with social critiques. He is going to rise higher and higher on the stand-up scene. I just hope that he doesn't get a mediocre TV sitcom -- seems to doom most everyone except Ray Romano. Mulaney is a genuinely funny guy, someone you can love and laugh at, with enough madness and pathos and hilarity to 'kill' in every routine.

Fantastic, just fantastic
I discovered John Mulaney through the Amazon Vine program. His album, The Top Part, was astonishingly funny. An added bonus was that his material, unlike someone such as say, Dane Cook, was clean enough that I could allow younger listeners in our house to enjoy him as well. In The Top Part, John established himself as an excellent comedian with excellent timing, delivery, and material. In his new album, New In Town, he continues with entirely new material that is just as good, and with the same excellent timing and delivery. John's album sits on our shelf proudly right next to Bill Cosby, Lewis Black, Kathleen Madigan, and the rest of our favorite comedians. These albums get good play every time we have a road trip, and we love all of them, and John Mulaney is our current favorite.5 stars.

John Mulaney is Hilarious!
I love John Mulaney's clean comedy. Despite that I am an instructor on mental illness for a non-profit organization and he makes a lot of jokes about "crazy people" and "unlimited crazy currency", he's hilarious! Nothing he's saying is untrue. I listen to John when I need a pick me up or just when I need a good laugh. I'm trying to get my friends hooked on him too so we'll have something interesting to talk about. This album is not as funny as The Comeback Kid, but love it just the same. "Delta Airlines" is my favorite bit on this album.

So funny and witty
My friends and I have listened to John Mulaney's albums during long roadtrips and they are just perfect. Of course, we've co-opted his lines into our own vernacular now ["You know why? Because I'm a strong, Asian woman." is a common retort.]I recommend this album, as well as his previous one, if you want something that gets funnier with multiple listens.Great album!

Makes me laugh so hard
I like the new material. It's not quite as edgy as his earlier material. It's just as funny though. I laugh so hard every time that I listen to this album.

"...and what are three more things about him?"
I caught the tail of this on t.v. one morning. It took me a bit of research to figure out who he was. So worth the time and effort. This is side-hurts funny. Have a few beers and watch this one with a friend... if you have one. You may not if you are taking the time to read this review.
