John Early: Now More Than Ever (2023)
In his first HBO comedy special, John Early brings his unique blend of cutting commentary, pop star swagger, and all-around loveable hilarity to Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, New York.
In the style of a gritty 70s rockumentary, Early performs stand-up and explosive song covers, from Britney to Neil Young, intercut with Spinal Tap-esque backstage sketches.
John Early: Now More Than Ever was nominated for the 2024 Critics Choice Award for Best Comedy Special, as well as a 2024 Emmy for Outstanding Writing for A Variety Special. The comedy special also has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
