Especially for a fun guy whose dad is gay, this man just keeps getting better at standup. Most comedians I enjoy seem to hit a plateau when they get some fame, which is usually fine bc they're already very funny so as long as they stay at that level it's still great. Joe is a rarity though. I first saw him open for Louis CK back when Louis was doing arenas before the whole JO thing and he was solid enough where I remembered his name, which rarely happens for me with openers. I didn't think he had the potential to be great though, and I'm happy to say I was wrong. "I Hate Myself" popped up on my YouTube feed about 3 years ago and I couldn't believe this was the same guy I saw open for Louis a few years prior. "This Year's Material" was just as good, and "Enough for Everybody" is the best of the bunch. Even without a $15,000 sign behind his head, List delivers. It was one of those rare situations which I've only experienced with a few comics, where I kept checking to see how much time was left - not bc I was bored, but bc I was hoping there was still a lot of time left. I rarely write review for standup specials but this man isn't famous enough, so as a lover of great standup let me tell you - watch this special and become a fan, you won't be disappointed.
