Sheng Wang: Sweet & Juicy

Also: Amy Miller, Kevin Hart, Jena Friedman, Michael Kosta, and Ron Funches

Happy National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day! 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 ha-has you came for:

1. I’ve had the pleasure of performing with Sheng Wang and he is downright hilarious. He’s got a new special on Netflix and you really need to see it. Sheng delivers a laid-back set on juicing, mammograms, how snoring is an evolutionary mistake, and the existential angst of buying pants from Costco

   

2. Get to know Amy Miller through these eight jokes about turning 40, being called brave, working as a waitress and more:

3. Kevin Hart explains why being a newlywed is rough, learns that driving a big truck won’t make him taller, and talks about his mother’s go-to answer for when things go wrong:

4. Comedy Central has released this new compilation reel featuring Jena Friedman, Michael Kosta, Ron Funches and more comedians on the state of politics:

And that’s all, folks! See ya next time.
