    For his sixth solo stand-up comedy special, Sam Morril immediately refers back to his previous effort, letting us know how he had wanted to open 2024’s Sam Morril: You’ve Changed, if only Prime Video would’ve let him. But as Morril jokes here on Netflix, he’s no stranger to bad relationships. The Gist: Morril’s stand-up career on video has followed a similar arc as that of his “We Might Be Drunk” podcasting partner, Mark Normand.

Don’t expect him to joke about that in this hour. But do expect him to make good on why he wanted to film at the Lyric Theatre in his hometown of Baltimore. There’s a lot more going on than meets the eye, both in terms of Stavvy, as well as his hourlong special. The Gist: Broken arm aside, it has been a
