It’s no surprise Mulaney will return to Birmingham after recently shouting it out when asked what cities he thinks are the best for performing standup.
During an appearance on the popular podcast “The Town with Matthew Belloni, the host asked Mulaney what cities he thought were the best for playing stand-up. He mentioned Dublin, Ireland before singling out the Alabama city.
“You know where else was great was Birmingham, Alabama,” said Mulaney. “I did an arena in Birmingham, Alabama, that was great.
“Birmingham was just great,” he continued. “I just walked around. I had, my son was probably 12 months old, I was pushing him around the city in a stroller, and everyone was like ‘we’re coming to the show tonight!’ and then everyone was at the show. It was that kind of town.”
Mulaney performed at the Legacy Arena at the BJCC as part of his “From Scratch” tour in April 2022.
Born in Chicago, Mulaney has emerged as one of the most popular standup comedians in the world. His specials include “New in Town,” “The Comeback Kid,” “Kid Gorgeous” and “Baby J.”
He rose to fame as a writer and frequent performer on “Saturday Night Live,” which he has since hosted six times.
He created and hosted the Netflix talk shows “Everybody’s in LA” and “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney.”
He’s won three Emmy Awards and has acted in several TV shows including “The Bear,” “Poker Face” and “Big Mouth.” His film roles include voice work in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers” and “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.”
