Happy National Iguana Awareness 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, Threads, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

And now, the funny videos you came for:

1. Comedy Central keeps putting out great standup compilations. Here’s a new one where Sebastian Maniscalco, Ron Funches, Jenny Zigrino and others tackle the trials and tribulations of traveling:

4. Finally, a little blast from the past. Kristen Schaal’s full 2013 special is now FREE to watch on YouTube.

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
