Stand-up comedy star John Mulaney made a stop in Huntington with his newest show “Kid Gorgeous,” in which he paints a picture that is anything but.

Mulaney’s self-deprecating jokes had the crowd of Marshall students and Huntington residents roaring with laughter throughout the night. During his performance, Mulaney humored the audience with anecdotes ranging from the ridiculousness of the unqualified figures featured at grade school assemblies to the absurdity of college tuition prices. Mulaney anchored his performance by drawing from personal experiences about marriage, aging and growing up as a Catholic.

“Kid Gorgeous” featured a unique form of political humor that came across lightly and did not seek to offend. Mulaney spent little time on the divisive politics of the era, though he did draw an analogy between the presidency of Donald Trump and a “horse in a hospital.”

Mulaney’s experience as a writer for “Saturday Night Live” reflected in his act, as it had the same loud energy and pacing of an SNL skit.

In 2015, Mulaney released his Netflix special “The Comeback Kid,” which the AV Club called the “best hour of his career.” He began his career in New York’s East Village and has since toured around the world.

Mulaney currently writes for IFC’s “Documentary Now” and is a alumnus writer for Saturday Night Live. He currently voices the character Andrew on Netflix’s cartoon “Big Mouth.”
