I've long been curious about the process of directing a stand-up special, especially in the modern era when they're so much more cinematic than they used to be. So I was very happy to speak with Alex Timbers, who has directed John Mulaney's last two specials, which couldn't be more different. For the Los Angeles Times, I spoke with him about Kid Gorgeous, Baby J and Mulaney's journey to sobriety. Hope you enjoy.
