Here Comes The Whimsy

Eugene Mirman reveals a series of mild grievances with warmth and wonder in his first special and album in a decade, Here Comes The Whimsy. He shares anecdotes from fatherhood, insights from travel, and tackles dress-code trauma and rental car disputes with a playful spirit that is both sharp and silly. He continues his tradition of offering untraditional ways to purchase the album, including packages that come with politicallyconfusing magnetic bumper stickers, a small framed and autographed piece of Japanese siding from his house, a custom obituary, and a commemorative plate with a royal title. The New York Times writes, "Mirman's stand-up is infused with a warm and cheerful sense of the ridiculous," while Mike Birbiglia once called Eugene the "Andy Warhol of comedy." Eugene is confident that this is the last comedy special you'll listen to (if you take poison right after).
