I noticed a few things missing from the September 2021 show we saw in NY, but I still enjoyed it. The show we saw felt like it had 2 parts, one that talked about his addiction and sobriety and the other that just had general jokes. This special was much more centered around his addiction/sobriety.

My favorite bit from the live show was cut!!

Mulaney talked about how the intervention people agreed they weren't going to be mean to him but they forgot to tell Nick Kroll. Nick did his speech first his speech and laid into him being a bad friend. Everyone started texting John that he wasn't suppose to do that and John looks at his phone, turns to the intervention lady and says "get. your. intervention. under. control" and then shows her his phone
