Excellent news. Would be nice to hear from Brennan how their friendship has patched up (he helped write the SNL Walking Dead sketch so I'm assuming pretty good). Those two need to do another movie or show again.
Wonder how much of this is derived from his recent tour, and how many he will edit out, there were a lot of jokes he made regarding Caitlyn Jenner that will get quite a reaction in the public.
He was never done with stand up. It also has been long enough that he isn't immediately tied to his show, rather there has been enough time that has past where he can do new things.
He made negative comments about Trump in the same set, was forced to clarify through his PR person after that story got out that he had problems with both candidates, but voted Hilary. Watch his SNL monologue.
Never take the criticism of a stand-up set without seeing it. I don't know how many times a ridiculous over-sensitive writer has taken something out of context or taken an obsurdist act like it was a TedTalk and made something out of nothing.
