He continues his tradition of offering untraditional ways to purchase the special, including packages that come with politically confusing magnetic bumper stickers, a small framed and autographed piece of Japanese siding from his house, a custom obituary, and a commemorative plate with a royal title. The New York Times writes, “Mirman’s stand-up is infused with a warm and cheerful sense of the ridiculous,” while Mike Birbiglia once called Eugene the “Andy Warhol of comedy.” Eugene is confident that this is the last comedy special you’ll watch (if you take poison right after).
