Do you give any thought to or have any concern about how a joke like that lands in certain parts of the country? Tom Segura delivers one of the best joke-for-joke comedy specials of 2023. It’s a pure comedy gold that you don’t want to miss. Segura released a book in 2022 titled I'd Like to Play Alone, Please, a collection of humorous essays.

That’s awesome. I was going to ask, as I have many comedians, do you feel like Hollywood executives know what to do with you and your talent? One joke that you cut is the Ted Cruz-neighbor-interaction one. I’m curious why you cut that. Did you not want to deal with the bullshit that came from it?

Obviously, it didn’t play like, “Hey, this is a real serious thing I’m gonna talk about,” but it was definitely something that sat with me. I will say I’m really pleased with the special. I made some really grown-up decisions.

I think Sledgehammer is far and away your finest special yet and feels like the culmination of decades of honing your stand-up. Very few comics anymore get on the stage, tell jokes, make you laugh, and get off the stage. This year has really seen the rebirth of comedy that I’ve missed so much. From Matt Rife’s Only Fans to John Mulaney’s Baby J and now with Tom Segura’s Sledgehammer, you have comedians getting on the stage without a care in the world about “cancel culture” and telling jokes to make audiences laugh. Some may see it as crossing lines, but turn it off if you don’t like it. Is Tom Segura: Sledgehammer good or bad?
