Like Posehn, his new hour special, Posehna Non Grata is silly, dry, absurd, super self-deprecating, full of nerdy references, relatable and always hilarious. On a night in February 2022, Brian rocked the famous Beat Kitchen and a packed room of Chicago comedy fans, join them and learn of Brian’s love of food delivery apps, his quest to speak German, how he favors one of his dogs, the good one, and finally how using a Target bathroom (twice) united him with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry from laughing, you’ll laugh again, you’ll see visuals you will never be able to get rid of. Ever.
