John Early: Now More Than Ever
Spotlight Narrative
Feature | 64 MINUTESComedy
In his first HBO hour-long comedy special, actor and comedian John Early (Max’s Search Party) brings his unique blend of cutting commentary, pop star swagger, and all-around loveable personality to Brooklyn’s Roulette Intermedium. Shot in the style of a gritty 1970s rock documentary, Early’s standup set is intercut with tantalizing covers of artists such as Britney Spears and Neil Young, interspersed with riotous backstage footage. Featuring the comedian’s loyal band the Lemon Squares, John Early: Now More Than Ever explores the unbearable ordeal of modern life through Early’s signature playful pastiche – and plenty of explosive musical numbers.
