Comedian and actor John Mulaney recently gave an Alabama city a shout-out after being asked what cities he thinks are the best for performing stand-up.

During a recent episode of “The Town with Matthew Belloni” podcast, Belloni asked the former “Saturday Night Live” writer what cities he thought were the best for playing stand-up. While Mulaney first mentions Dublin, Ireland, he quickly turns the conversation to an Alabama city — Birmingham.

“You know where else was great was Birmingham, Alabama,” said Mulaney. “I did an arena in Birmingham, Alabama, that was great.”

When later asked to elaborate on what he liked about those cities and the audiences there, Mulaney went into more detail about his time in Alabama.

“Birmingham was just great,” said Mulaney. “I just walked around. I had, my son was probably 12 months old, I was pushing him around the city in a stroller, and everyone was like ‘we’re coming to the show tonight!’ and then everyone was at the show. It was that kind of town.”

Mulaney performed at the Legacy Arena at the BJCC as part of his “From Scratch” tour in April 2022. He currently stars in the Netflix talk show “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney”.
