I found it on youtube - it was for HBO and filmed at the Troubadour with a few hundred people in there. He was famous but not a household name yet, I think. It’s masterful and made me fall in love with doing comedy again. You can do anything!

James’ comedy ventures unapologetically into the realm of fiction which gives him permission to be silly, creative, and quirky in a really refreshing way. He doesn’t get caught up in being ‘relatable’, but just entertaining. No one is doing it quite like him.

The sheer amount of standup specials, YouTube/IG/TikTok stars, etc. oversaturate our brains, and I think it dilutes our experience. This is surely true of music for me lately - I need breaks from new things pretty often. I think another symptom of it being so abundant is the more you've seen, the harder it is to be surprised by new styles and personalities. I've been a life-long standup fan for as long as I can remember, and gimmicks and fads have always been a thing. But still, every year, something new grabs my attention. It just takes some digging to find the people that tell the kind of stories that make you laugh. Here are some ones I really liked recently:
Kyle Kinane - Dirt Nap
Jacqueline Novak - Get On Your Knees
Sheng Wang - Sweet & Juicy
Brian Simpson - Live From The Mothership
Chris Fleming - Hell (As mentioned in other responses, just the best kind of weird)
Taylor Tomlinson - Look At You
Nate Bargatze (any of his many on Netflix)

You get little breaks where you can look at your phone but still feel really strong and cool!
