Bill Maher: Adulting (also spelled as Bill Maher: #Adulting) is a 2022 HBO stand-up comedy television special starring Bill Maher. [1]
Vulture said "In Maher's old stand-up, he made proclamations filled with the arrogance of a guy who felt he'd thought of angles you hadn't. In #Adulting, he's not just detached from the prickly daily realities of navigating gender-identity struggles and rethinking American power dynamics, he wants you to join him. If you can afford to, have at it." [2]
Time wrote "Maher demands in #Adulting, during a riff on the supposed cancellation of Aziz Ansari. "So many perfect people who never make a mistake, never do anything wrong, yet get to judge your date." Comedian, heal thyself." [3]
