"Comedian John Mulaney returned to San Francisco - which he once dubbed "a city that isn't nice" - with a much warmer tone on Thursday, his first of three nights at the Masonic. Mulaney opened the show by reminiscing on his history with San Francisco, including his first gig at the Punch Line and his first 2,000-person show at Davies Symphony Hall. However, he remembered one of his most recent sets in the city with a little less warmth."
"Apparently, telling a bunch of tech bros they're " imminently replaceable & " doesn't endear you to Salesforce's best and brightest. "I got paid before the show, you can't do that," he explained. But on Thursday, Mulaney won over his San Francisco crowd with a tried and true line. "The seal of San Francisco should be a guy going back to get a jacket," Mulaney said to roars of laughter."
John Mulaney returned to San Francisco with a warmer tone, performing the first of three nights at the Masonic and reminiscing about early shows at the Punch Line and Davies Symphony Hall. He recalled a recent Dreamforce appearance that went poorly after mocking tech attendees and noted getting paid before the show. He used longtime San Francisco material, including the jacket joke he has told since 2007, and joked about restaurants closing at 9 p.m. He mentioned dining late at Kokkari Estiatorio. He wore a crisp dark suit. He has a history of rehab, divorce, and a subsequent pregnancy announcement, and now often targets billionaires rather than punching down.
