Dave Attell's Hot Cross Buns

Also: Fahim Anwar, Ethan Simmons-Patterson, and Jon Stewart

Happy National Pita Day! I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every week.

And now, the videos you came for:

1. Stop what you’re doing right now and watch Dave Attell’s newest special, Hot Cross Buns, on Netflix. He is truly the master of jokes and his specials are always a treat. I had a smile on my face the entire time I watched this and laughed out loud a bunch of times:

   

2. I’ve performed with Fahim Anwar several times and he’s always funny. Here’s a new Don’t Tell set he just dropped, where he jokes about what not to say on dating apps, and why Michael Jackson is a total creep:

3. Comedy Central just dropped this fun set by Ethan Simmons-Patterson where he delves into his crime-committing past, ponders what is happening in the woods and explains how millennials were traumatized by the internet:

4. And finally, check out Jon Stewart masterfully destroying the MAGA “victimless crime” defense for Trump’s real estate fraud crimes:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
