Happy National Balloon Ascension Day! Hi, 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:
I made this! A new sketch (NSFW) featuring Alex Falcone, Avital Ash, and Matt O’Brien, and written by my friend, Matt Richmond. What did I do on it? Just the directing, camera, lights, and editing, that’s all! Enjoy:
Nikki Glaser wrote+performed an outstanding opening monologue at the Golden Globes recently. Tons of great jokes at the expense of celebs! Worth a watch:
Joe List is always hilarious, and his newest Don’t Tell set is no exception. His riffs include takes on how technology is breaking our brains, why Picasso is maybe not the guy we remember him to be, and why women don't need a wingman:
Ronny Chieng is truly living the dream: he’s a huge (think: arenas) touring act, and he also hosts on The Daily Show every week. He’s one of my faves, and his newest special on Netflix blew me away. Here’s the trailer:
Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
