Rory Scovel takes the stage at Minneapolis’ Goodale Theater to offer his observations on such disparate subjects as religion, sex, mushrooms, vaccines, parenting an eight-year-old, and much more in this standup special. The South Carolina native interweaves improvised moments with meta-commentary on the subtle art of stand-up as he riffs on some of the most awkward aspects of seemingly taboo yet universal topics – all with a dose of his amiable southern charm.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Scovel filmed this special after recovering from a severe case of long COVID, which he credits for the looser, more present-tense energy.
The Goodale Theater is the same venue where Mitch Hedberg recorded his final special—Scovel requested it specifically as an homage to unscripted, vulnerable comedy.
