That 'we are but dust' joke was set up masterfully. Enough time passed to make us forget about that line, and then it comes out again in a masterful finale.
i like how you like to spoil things for others. do you come out of the theatre talking loudly about how the movie ended in front of a line of people waiting to get in to that very same movie? When you see someone reading a book do you love to blurt out the ending because your ADHD brain can't handle holding in a tiny piece of information? I'll bet the people in Megan's life avoid her and hope "enough time passed" ... maybe she forgot about us.
Emily Catalano is ridiculously funny! Her punchlines come out of nowhere and land every time. Sharp, clever, and completely unexpected-she's easily one of the best comedians around!
Certainly one of the most brilliant and original comedians of the decade with a killer delivery. I love it when she struggles not to break herself up after a great punchline.
Idk about original. Dave Attel did the vitamin joke on Netflix and Sarah T (Joe List's wife) did the atarbucks target joke in her recent special. Still tho very funny comedian
@@NinchuRevenge3that doesn't necessarily mean it's stolen. It's difficult in this day and age to come up with an original thought that wasn't somebody else's original thought before.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. Some of her jokes were pretty predictable. I was calling out the punchlines before she said them but they still were pretty good. Her delivery isn't totally unique but it seems very natural. All in all. Great set. Looking forward to seeing more. Not to be pseudo sexist, but we're seeing a LOT of good female comics and it's awesome to see something different.
She is so good that... Hell and Saint Paul... the 18 year old and "are you judging me?"... the way dads say they love you and the psychology major... Onyedimma and her previous missionary stuff. I also like that you can see the joke pop into her head before she says it... that slight half second smile before the joke.
@@aliengranpasuper hot… the dead pan delivery.. the lack of emotion.. I’m getting frustrated because I’m finding her more and more attractive and it’s really distracting from the comedy 😭🤣
That gal in the audience laughing in pain the whole time was right to do so 🤣 I've never seen a comedian start with a good joke, awkwardly milk the premise several times, and then finish with the great joke at the end, like this. Tig Notaro does something similar, but Emily takes it to a whole new level. Easily my new favorite comedian.
All the way from Australia, thanks for the laughs Emily. The writing and wit in this set was seriously outstanding and one of the best stand-up sets I've seen in a long time. Thank you so much for the laughs and making my day better! ✌️
I just discovered her today, holy shit she's such a good standup in a sea of a ton of standup specials and comedians. Can't wait to watch every video on her channel. UA-cam algorithm was lookin out for me today. Nothin better than coming across a new comedian, I'm beyond excited!
They say comedy is all about timing, and Emily's timing coupled with her awkward, deadpan delivery make her an amazing comedian. I thank the almighty algorithm for bringing me this one.
Emily’s brilliant use of comedic timing and facial expressions makes her an absolute master of the slow burn, the best I’ve ever seen. Her conversational style, story-telling and relatable observational humor makes her so personally endearing. Truly a rising star on par with Tig Notaro and Taylor Tomlinson. Some of the best parody on religion I’ve ever heard. Very clever and insightful, but not offensive. I travelled from Portland, OR to Seattle last Saturday just to catch her live. I was not disappointed as she premiered all new jokes she was trying out on the road. All equally hilarious material.
Thanks for putting this up on UA-cam, Emily. You're stand-up bits and audience interactions are always exceptionally funny. Love your casual delivery; kind of like USPS - but much funnier, lol
I have lost count of how many times i have watched this. 😊 The delivery is priceless and is as funny as the first time you hear it , many times later .
@EmilyCatalano...I discovered you through a FB reel and just watched your "Unspecial". I haven't laughed out loud that much in quite a while. Your wit, delivery, and timing are truly something special. So glad to see you're coming to Indianapolis in November!
I loved this so much I actually read the credits -- Tell "Sweet Buns" he did a good job with the audio recording and mixing! Also omg Emily you did the beginning animation too??
Oh, Ioved this so much. Best crowd work in the business combined with some of the best material delivered in an unusual unforgettable and unmatched style
Congratulations on a great set taping! Seriously 10/10 funny. Camera and audio was bang on. I am so glad I got to see you in Toronto back in February. Hope you come back soon! Oh and fk netflix.
Emily Catalano, your skill at writing jokes is truly deft. You are a master of your art. At shows in the Bay Area, I was always impressed by every set you did. Thank you for sharing this taping.
Most times we try to compare one comic to others in order to characterize their brilliance, but I can think of NO ONE with a similarly unique combination of material, delivery, and style. Make no mistake: Emily Catalano is peerless! And she’s funny as hell!
thanks for watching! make sure to subscribe. more to come!
Omg you are funny AF!!!!
I’m looking forward to it
I randomly listened to this while vacuuming the house and finished right at the end… 😂
Great standup!
Word, nerd

Perfect delivery at the end. She just let it hang... *sips beer*
Yeah that was pretty spectacular cuz you could actually picture the spit take in your mind😂
Butt*

@@xLxUxSxTx what the hell is wrong with you
This was fantastic
Oh man, the delivery, the call backs, the crowd work, the jokes.
This woman is the whole package.
Of butt dust.
This woman is the whole package.
“For me to poop on”
Emily Catalano is ridiculously funny! Her punchlines come out of nowhere and land every time. Sharp, clever, and completely unexpected-she's easily one of the best comedians around!
At one point I was like 'That didn't land superbly but it's the first time.' and THEN the actual punchline came. Masterful.
Comedians that actually have something to say, are not preachy about it, and are this funny are a rare breed. Happy to have found this.
An "unhardworking" eye TOOK ME OUT 😭💀

@@NinchuRevenge3 sarah tollemache had a whole bit about starbucks in target. emily just kinda mentioned it.
@@EmilyCatalano that angel dust joke was fucking hilarious lol

I love how much time you take. It seems casually confident, like, "I was just born funny, no big deal."
I appreciate the dry, slower pace. The wit comes through!
My favourite parts were the callbacks, like when you turned back to the psychology student to confirm that your dad loves you. 🤣
She is so good that... Hell and Saint Paul... the 18 year old and "are you judging me?"... the way dads say they love you and the psychology major... Onyedimma and her previous missionary stuff. I also like that you can see the joke pop into her head before she says it... that slight half second smile before the joke.
As a 37-year-old man who grew up an evangelical Christian, I can relate to so many of the jokes and experiences. Thank you for making me laugh!
"No matter what you're working with I'm going to completely drain it" made me choke laugh
That was kinda hot actually 😂
@@aliengranpasuper hot… the dead pan delivery.. the lack of emotion.. I’m getting frustrated because I’m finding her more and more attractive and it’s really distracting from the comedy 😭🤣
That final joke 🤯 Such a power move to end on an implied punchline
That gal in the audience laughing in pain the whole time was right to do so 🤣
I've never seen a comedian start with a good joke, awkwardly milk the premise several times, and then finish with the great joke at the end, like this. Tig Notaro does something similar, but Emily takes it to a whole new level.
Easily my new favorite comedian.
I immediately thought of Tig.
You have some of the best delivery I've seen in awhile.
thank... you
@@EmilyCatalano tha...nk? you
Yeah comedy doesn't pay well.

First time I've watched her. Yes, she's worth the trip.
Where have you been before :), great special
No hype, never disgusting, low-key, super clever, the punches are always unexpected and hysterical.
Instant fav love your style so much. I hope your fan base numbers go up crazy fast
Thanks for the show!
Flawless. 🎉
Thanks!🎉
This is the most well written ending for a stand up comedy show I've ever witnessed, well done!
I watched this when I really needed to laugh! Much Appreciated!!!
This is brilliant. Behind the dry, deadpan delivery lies a sharp AF mind.
Definitely one to watch for the future.
Top notch stuff.
Thanks for the laughs. You have great timing!
Brilliant! Thanks
I loved it when she asked the Psychology student if she was judging her!!!!😂😂
That was a fun callback. I wonder if she had written it in.
I’m a psychologist and I barely ever tell anyone new because they always ask if I’m analyzing them!!
Brilliant. I'm seventy-five years old and I laughed so hard I was afraid my teeth would fall out. And they're my own teeth, not dentures ...
the critical thinking joke is so well written and delivered. I'm signing up!
..and so self-evidently true.
Emily you are already a comedic legend in my book. Instantly my favorite female comedian of all time.😂😂😂
Thanks!
Thanks! You are hilarious!!!
new most favorite comedian. Great act, perfect, brilliant finale
Thanks!
Thanks for putting this up on UA-cam, Emily. You're stand-up bits and audience interactions are always exceptionally funny. Love your casual delivery; kind of like USPS - but much funnier, lol
Thanks
That was fkn fantastic Thanks
Comedy this good should not be free 😂😂😂
so true!
Then stop being cheap. Pay for it. Send her the money you think she deserves.
Nah, I think all bad comedy should be behind a paywall so no one watches it by accident.
Right?! Omg she’s hilarious!
i was thinking the same thing! she blessed us
I have lost count of how many times i have watched this. 😊 The delivery is priceless and is as funny as the first time you hear it , many times later .
Brilliant! To be that quick on her feet like that, what a talent!
Brilliant writing and smooth, precision execution. Awesome.
Very funny and special
Wow I was tearing up in the first minute. My new fav ♥️
First time ever hearing of Emily! I was thoroughly impressed very very funny!
Absolute genius, stayed awake all night in the UK to catch this as soon as it dropped.
Brilliant set!
I’ve watched this three times now. Only a handful of comedians nowadays I do that with. Much love Emily!!!
Instant fan. Will buy tickets to see the unhardworking eye IRL.
The quality, authenticity and quick witted nature is spot on, all rounded out with wonderfully accentuated facial expressions. Love all your stand up!
Hilarious and great delivery!
"We saved our true personalities..." 😆 🤣 You're so funny, subscribed!
@EmilyCatalano...I discovered you through a FB reel and just watched your "Unspecial". I haven't laughed out loud that much in quite a while. Your wit, delivery, and timing are truly something special. So glad to see you're coming to Indianapolis in November!
Solid. Also, whoever picked the music gets my thanks. Had never heard of Luge. I like.
“We are butt dust”… 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best random click ever, one of the funniest specials I’ve seen in years
I loved this so much I actually read the credits -- Tell "Sweet Buns" he did a good job with the audio recording and mixing! Also omg Emily you did the beginning animation too??
He really doesn't like that
I couldn’t stop laughing. Please put up more videos. You’re amazing!
That call-back at the end was just perfect. Fantastic way to end. Great set.
So, endearing, charming and funny, you can't help but to love it. BRAVO!!!!!
The no tell on the last joke thats like a curry walk off
night night
@@EmilyCatalano by not ending with "unspecial", she turned it into a special. Uh oh 🙃
Indeed. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So good
Oh, Ioved this so much. Best crowd work in the business combined with some of the best material delivered in an unusual unforgettable and unmatched style
This was the best stand up I’ve seen in years!!!! Thanks for the huge belly laughs! So gooooooood! Subscribed ❤
Super funny delivery style!!! I love her deadpan humor.
This is a brilliant set. I've laughed like crazy. The timings pitch perfect. The crowd work is gold. And that deadpan delivery is just chef's kiss.
that kombucha joke was TOP TIER 💀💀💀
Live action Daria. Brilliant.
Congratulations on a great set taping! Seriously 10/10 funny. Camera and audio was bang on. I am so glad I got to see you in Toronto back in February. Hope you come back soon! Oh and fk netflix.
Beautiful beautiful work - a true artist
Very funny. Congrats! Love the pacing. Also, shout out to your crew: the special looks and sounds great!
This is fire ❤🔥Loved the comebacks and the good use of silence. The punchlines feel like they're patiently waiting for the right time to strike.
Emily Catalano, your skill at writing jokes is truly deft. You are a master of your art. At shows in the Bay Area, I was always impressed by every set you did. Thank you for sharing this taping.
That was brilliant. Thank you.
She is so funny! Masterclass in joke writing and delivery.
I know the word Underrated is thrown around too often these days... But she IS REALLY UNDERRATED. Brilliant stuff.
This has been a long time coming. Killed it as usual !
😂😂😂Simply Amazing!!!
I don't usually spend almost 40 minutes watching a comedian, but your set was hysterical! This is coming from a baby boomer!
Excellent!!!
Very funny and very smart!!!!
U rock gurl!!!!
👍👍👍
I've never seen comedy performed (and edited) closer to perfection.
I haven't laughed that hard at a special in while 👏
Not a special*
@bamb00zled70 😅 I wanted to come up with a funny way to reference that but couldn't figure one out so just showed love instead.
Funniest special I've seen in a while and I watch as many as I can. Glad to have found you. Subscribed and looking forward to your future success.
Best I’ve seen since Gillis frfr
It’s not a special, just a taping
not a special... I want more, thank you.
Honestly...great writing and delivery. Even your cadence is so confident and rhythmic...it makes the jokes so effective.
What a triumph. Speaking as a hospice nurse, the angel dust line is absolute perfection.
Really great!! Well done
That was so funny!
It was one of the funniest “specials” I’ve seen in a long time!
"And then at the very top.....critical thinking" Enjoyed your performance so much. Thank you!
After the most recent election we desperately needed but we’re not looking for a laugh but found one.
Thanks and you are one of the best.❤
Loved it. Keep on keeping on
You killed that room, that was unreal. So smart, timing and delivery,, punchrs that punch, so good! Thank you
Most times we try to compare one comic to others in order to characterize their brilliance, but I can think of NO ONE with a similarly unique combination of material, delivery, and style. Make no mistake: Emily Catalano is peerless! And she’s funny as hell!
Truly awesome stuff, thanks for putting it out here. Best special ive seen in a good while!
Great set. Love from Seatown
Crushed it! So smooth, perfect crowd work, loved the entire "unspecial". :)
Really enjoyed this! I cracked up the whole time. I loved the stories and the delivery. It flows well and the bits of crowd work are fun.
appreciate it!
Your timing is so amazing i was asphyxiating from one of your jokes and begging for a reprieve and ...you paused. Impeccable
