It’s the work of a comic at the top of his game, replete with long, artful setups and knockout punchlines. I know he was born there, but I remember the first time I visited Canada, I was like, “How’s this gonna go here? Because you know there was a camera operator like, “Oh…” and then someone went, “Cut that shit, now! Your whole family features prominently in the hour, and I’m curious to what extent they have input, and what those conversations were like before you go out on stage, particularly with your mother?

He co-hosts a pair of popular podcasts — Two Bears One Cave with pal and fellow comic Bert Kreischer, and Your Mom’s House with wife/comedian Christina Pazsitsky; penned a bestselling book of humorous essays; sells out stand-up shows across the country; and just released his fifth Netflix stand-up special, Tom Segura: Sledgehammer, which is one of the best of the year.
