Luke Null's comedy special premieres March 25

Luke Null is set to release his first comedy special, titled "Pretty Songs, Dirty Words," on YouTube on March 25. The special will showcase his unique blend of stand-up comedy and music. In a recent interview, Null emphasized that he sees himself primarily as a comedian. He uses an acoustic guitar to enhance his jokes instead of serenading the audience. He draws inspiration from various musical comedians like Tenacious D and Flight of the Conchords. The production of the special is elaborate. Null wanted it to stand out, featuring a hologram of himself and Wayne Brady. He even rented bubble machines to create a fun atmosphere. Null filmed the special at his favorite venue, the Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles. Null has lived in Los Angeles for seven years but cherishes his roots in Chicago. He initially struggled to fit in with his friends in high school who were in bands. This led him to develop his own comedy style, combining music with jokes. He believes that musical comedy can be polarizing but is rewarding when done well. His journey in comedy included an audition for "Saturday Night Live" in 2016. After a difficult initial attempt, he was successful the following year and joined the cast for one season. Although he was let go after that season, he remains grateful for the experience, which helped launch his career. Despite his ups and downs, Null is excited about sharing his special with the world. He hopes viewers will find joy and laughter in it, even joking that they might feel transformed as a result.
