Comedian Joe Pera Heading To YouTube With New Special ‘Joe Pera: Slow & Steady’
Image
Like most rising star comics today, looking to further build their audience while reaping due rewards for their work, Joe Pera is self-releasing his latest special, Joe Pera: Slow & Steady, taking it directly to YouTube. Taped to a packed house at The Opera House of Williamsburg on June 15th, his new hour will premiere on Friday, October 6th at 8:00pm Et, exclusively on his YouTube channel @JoePeraComedy.

A trailer teasing the special can be found above.

Slow & Steady was independently financed and produced and comes to the internet following the conclusion of Pera’s cult favorite Adult Swim series, Joe Pera Talks With You. Little has been revealed about the subject matter he’ll address, but it will of course be marked by Pera’s singular slow, gentle style as, more or less, the Mister Rogers of comedy.

In Pera’s words, “The ‘Slow & Steady’ special is the culmination...

Cult series Joe Pera Talks with You has been canceled.

Adult Swim, part of the Warner Bros. Discovery universe, has ended the show after three seasons.

Pera revealed the news on his own email newsletter.

TV Cancellations Photo Gallery: Shows Ending In 2022 & Beyond

The 11-minute series launched in 2018 started as an animated short, followed by a live-action short. Its third season aired between November and December 2021.

It follows the mild-mannered Pera as a fictional version of himself, living in Michigan and teaching choir at a middle school. The lo-fi series sees him talk to the audience – Mr Rogers- style about mundane subjects such as breakfast and ironing.

“The more I learn how TV works, the more I realize that it’s kind of a miracle that our quiet, 11-minute show about rocks, beans, grocery stores, and breakfast crews got on the air and lasted as long as it did,” he wrote.

The “Bridgerton” literary universe is expanding. Original series writer Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes, the executive producer of the romance series’ Netflix adaptation, are set to cowrite a new prequel novel set in the world of “Bridgerton.”

Joe Pera Talks with You (2018)
‘Joe Pera Talks With You’ Review: TV’s Cozy Blanket Returns for an Even Richer Season 2
Joe Pera Talks with You (2018)
There’s a point near the end of the first episode of “Joe Pera Talks With You” in Season 2 when Joe surveys his surroundings and says, “This is nice.” There’s no irony, no rug pull, no cynicism in what he says. Just one person grateful for something that hasn’t even arrived yet.

That’s the show in a nutshell: a chronicle of a guy so enthusiastic about the tiny pleasures of life that he’s even happy about potential things. Pera, as the star and frequent writer of the series, plays Joe, a resident of a Michigan city who takes the viewers through the things that fill him with wonder.

His direct-to-camera descriptions — this season covering disparate topics like beans and hiking — remain as distinct as ever. No one digs into proper nouns with the same verve as Joe does, especially when he’s detailing plant genuses and...
