Jon Stewart stand up review
In September 2023, the New York Post caught Stewart at an Atlantic City show with Pete Davidson and John Mulaney in the midst of the writer’s strike.
The elder statesman of the trio served as the evening’s closer.
Over the course of the evening, he tackled aging (one joke about searching for his eyeglasses netted the night’s biggest laugh) and interfaith marriage (his expression impersonating childlike wonder witnessing the magic of Christmas was priceless) among a number of other topics near and dear to his heart.
He wrapped the night with political material covering trans issues, gay marriage, Kanye West’s inexplicable anti-Semitism, gun rights and 9/11 with a deft touch that showed he hasn’t lost a step comedically and is as sharp as ever.
