Sam Tallent is an Incredible Talent

Also: Emmy Blotnick, Dan Levy and Dave Attell

Happy Spring! Hello, 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 day.

And now, the he-he’s you came for:

1. I’ve seen Sam Tallent live and he is an absolute killer. He’s one of the most original performers out there, a true mastermind of joke writing. Here’s a new Don’t Tell set where he talks about fat-shaming, his sex life, and more:

2. I’ve had Dan Levy on my shows here in LA before and he makes me laugh a lot. Here’s a new set he just did on Corden, check it out:

3. Comedy Central is putting up older specials for FREE to watch on YouTube! Here’s a great one from 2018 by Emmy Blotnick:

4. And here’s a fun blast from the past— a 20 minute Dave Attell special from 1999, now free to watch as well:

That’s all, folks!
