Joe List’s First Hour Special Will Debut on Comedy Central’s YouTube Page
It’s hard to believe Joe List doesn’t have an hour special out yet. His half hour and television appearances are among our favorite performances in the last few years.
Joe’s new hour, “I Hate Myself” was recorded at one of the best clubs in the world- New York’s famed Village Underground (part of the even more famed Comedy Cellar for those who aren’t aware).
“Joe List: I Hate Myself,” shot at the historic Village Underground in New York City, explores List’s hilarious neuroses in the way only he can. And List has a seemingly unending stream of those neuroses and he’s more than willing to use them to entertain us all.
The special will touch on how to refer to people who have obsessive compulsive disorder, why it’s insane to think anyone is able to sleep on a plane, and Joe’s hilarious theory that the dental industry is a sham. “Joe List: I Hate Myself” was executively produced by Tommy Pucciani and Chris Burns and directed by Jason Katz. Ryan Moran and Gabriella Yacyk are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.
You’ll be able to watch it, for free on Comedy Central’s YouTube starting on August 6th at 9pm ET. And List himself will interact with fans during the hour’s actual premiere at 9pm sharp on the 6th. You can be a part of that launch party on the YouTube watch page at standup.com/joelist.
List began his comedy career in Boston in 2000 just weeks after graduating from high school. Since that time he has been featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with David Letterman as well as multiple appearances on Conan. He’s featured in Season 2 of The Netflix Series “The Stand Ups.” In 2015 List was a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and had his own half hour comedy special on Comedy Central where he discussed coping with anxiety in yoga class, aggressive sex, strange male bonding rituals and his uncle’s questionable babysitting methods.
His albums “So Far No Good” and “Are You Mad at Me”’ (both amazing) can be heard regularly on SiriusXM Radio. And most of you already listen weekly to Joe’s podcast with Mark Normand, “Tuesdays with Stories.’
“I Hate Myself is the third comedy special to be released via Comedy Central’s YouTube channel. Sam Morril was the first and received over 3.5M views. Emily Heller released a great special soon after.
Watch Comedy Central’s world premiere of Joe List: I Hate Myself on YouTube at 9pm sharp on August 6th at standup.com/joelist.
