Comedian Joe Per plays a middle school choir teacher from Michigan's upper peninsula who attempts to talk directly to the audience about mundane subject matters such as iron, Sunday breakfast, fall drives, dancing, music, and sleeping. Pera delivers mini-lessons on everything from beans to writing an obituary to the rat wars of Alberta. Between lessons are small glimpses into Pera's quiet life offering viewers something to enjoy if they stay awake, or something to fall asleep to in thoughtful bite-sized episodes.

Doreen St. Felix The New Yorker 05/09/2020
Incrementally, Pera reveals himself to be a fragile yet towering philosopher of the everyday. Go to Full Review Film Crit Hulk Observer 09/26/2018
In a medium where we demand the high-volume joke-per-minute, there is something so transformative about the way Pera invites our own softness. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 05/21/2018
[Joe Pera Talks With You] is more formally interesting and sophisticated than a thumbnail description might suggest. Go to Full Review D.M. Palmer Vague Visages 11/09/2023
In its absence of cynicism and surface mundanity, Joe Pera Talks with You presents a conceit that feels genuinely daring in the context of a comic universe which prides itself on provocative fare... Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media 01/18/2022
4/5
Instead of [Pera's] social awkwardness getting him into trouble or making him the butt of the joke, it's merely the surface of a thoughtful, confident character... The result is a sweet, thoughtful comedy about the small joys of everyday life. Go to Full Review Allegra Frank Polygon 05/29/2018
The whole thing is artful, even heartfelt. And, despite what Joe's sloping gait, slow, toneless voice and childlike sincerity may suggest, Adult Swim's funniest show in ages. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
