Head Tale

Maybe because, like “Nanette” by Hannah Gadsby, it totally deconstructs what a “comedy” special is?

Or maybe because it’s one of only a handful of truly reflective, unique artworks created during Covid that capture what this past year has been like?

Or maybe because I’m pretty sure he does this by not mentioning Covid once during the entire show?

Or maybe because, if he truly shot this all himself, that’s an unbelievable achievement in terms of the lighting, sound, composition and even “set design” for lack of a better term?

Or maybe because it is a prescient commentary on Internet culture which has only grown more central (and insidious) to our lives during the pandemic?

Or maybe because it shows enormous artistic and personal growth from his controversial beginnings?

Or maybe I just like it because I’m a straight white man?
