Joe List on Taxes and Dumb Friends

Also: Esther Povitsky, Emily Van Dyke, and Hannibal Buress

Happy National Flapjack 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. Joe List is hilarious, and he just did a new set on Fallon. He talks about getting sleep advice from his friends, telling a joke that didn't land well on an airplane and going to a museum with his friend:

2. Esther Povitsky also did a Fallon set recently, about wedding planning and being engaged to an older man:

3. I just discovered Emily Van Dyke from her Don’t Tell set below, and yes, she addresses her name in the first sentence of her set. Enjoy:

4. Finally, you can now watch Hannibal Buress’ full 2014 Comedy Central special for FREE on YouTube. He discusses everything from throwing a parade in New Orleans to flirting with Scarlett Johansson:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
