Upcoming shows. Tickets on sale now at JohnMulaney.com

Instructions for Mulaney Reads September 2026. Start with Tears of Autumn by Charles McCary. Paul Christopher is a CIA agent working in Saigon the month President Diem and President Kennedy are killed. Christopher is one of the deepest, most detached, most interesting spy characters I have ever read. Tears of Autumn is a riveting story written in such spare, perfect language. When you’re done with it read any other novel in the Paul Christopher series. I didn’t go in order, I jumped right to The Last Supper next. I think you will have to find a lot of these as e-books. But that should change. The whole series should be re-released in paperback and I should get a cut of the profits. Ya know, because of this post. Happy Wednesday, John

August Mulaney Reads! Every book by @jordan_harper. Get them wherever you buy books!

Any and all Mulaney Reads-ers. “North Sun or the Voyage of the Whaleship Esther” is my July must must must read. This book is so batshit. Funny, bizarre, violent reckless, and very moving. I haven’t read “Moby Dick” because whatever but Ethan Rutherford’s description of catching a whale or failing to catch a whale is one of the most visceral things I have ever absorbed. We are back in “Fatal Shore” or “Feast of Snakes” territory where things get brutal. But it can’t all be Michelangelo and sunsets and so forth. This is also ANOTHER recommendation from J. Michaels Books in Eugene, Oregon making it perhaps the most successful single day haul I have had in years. I suggest you pay them a visit. Buy “North Sun or the Voyage of the Whaleship Esther” at your local bookseller. Very carsick on way to Saratoga, John

Mulaney Takes Manhattan. For nine nights I will perform at nine iconic New York City venues, January 7- 15, 2027. 9 in a row kiddos. Each show will feature special guests and each one will have a whole lot of different. Going to all 9 might seem extreme but I bet you’d enjoy it. I’ll be going to all of them myself albeit for my own reasons. Go to johnmulaney.com to sign up for first access to presale information for these pretty damn neat shows.

#MULANEYREADS in June: Tell Them of Battles, Kings and Elephants by Mathias Énard. A small, perfect book. Michelangelo, angry at the Pope, takes a bad gig for good money in Constantinople. It reads like a beautiful 16th-century detective story. It’s short and wild. This makes it 3 for 3 on great recommendations from J. Michaels Books in Eugene, Oregon. First was Chaim Soutine by Celeste Marcus (a great biography and a great book about creativity in general), then Everybody Knows by Jordan Harper. Go there in person and buy anything they tell you to.
