“The Holidays Suck” - Comedians on the Winter Holidays

Featuring Anthony Jeselnik, Mike Feeney, Jessi Klein, and Sebastian Maniscalco

Merry (almost) Christmas! 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, some comedy treats for your stocking:

1. “The Holidays Suck”— Comedy Central has released a reel of comedians breaking down what they love and hate about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and the New Year:

2. I met Mike Feeney at a show recently and he’s hilarious! He just did Fallon and told jokes about sex being like a Billy Joel concert, getting a dog and drinking on flights:

3. Comedy Central just released Jessi Klein’s full-length 2011 special for you to watch for free! Jessi shares the list of things she discloses before sex, details a discussion she had with her gynecologist about freezing her eggs and reveals some of the pickup lines guys try on her:

4. Sebastian Maniscalco has a new Netflix special, “Is It Me?”, and here’s my favorite bit from it, on restaurant ordering. Check it out:

Happy Holidays! See ya next time.
