The veteran stand-up and joke writer, who plays San Antonio’s Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club this weekend, has worked with stalwarts including Marc Maron, Dave Attell and Amy Schumer. He’s also delivered multiple sets on Conan, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden.
The New York-based comedian has also dropped multiple streaming specials, the latest of which, Sam Morril: You’ve Changed, is available on Amazon Prime Video. While Morril was initially known for delivering rapid-fire jokes, he’s since slowed his pace to focus more on storytelling, which works well with his dry delivery and penchant for dark humor.
In You’ve Changed, Morril manages to take on the hyperventilating outrage some folks have adopted about trans people. While he draws plenty of laughs with the subject, he earns most of them by punching up instead of down.
“People get so weird with the trans stuff — how angry people were with the partnership Bud Light made with the trans woman Dylan Mulvaney,” Morril deadpans in the special. “I will say this: shame on Bud Light for pretending to be good people.”
$80 (table for two) and up, 7:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club, 618 NW Loop 410, (210) 541-8805, improvtx.com.
