‘Nathan For You’
If you’re finding it hard to laugh at this particularly dire moment in American history, might I suggest a show about one painfully awkward business school graduate doing his extremely over-the-top and misguided best to help out struggling small businesses? Nathan For You is a criminally under-appreciated comedy gem that somehow only gets better with age. It turns out it’s also so undeniably wild that it can make you howl with laughter despite everything going on in 2021. Nathan For You is so much more than a basic prank show. It’s a surprisingly deep show about the complexity of people, be you an iffy Bill Gates impersonator, a shy production assistant, or an aggressive private eye/ex-stud. It’s equally hilarious and heartfelt.
