“Paul’s growth as a comedian over the last five years has been amazing to watch. He has found his voice and developed into a monster headlining act. I’ve seen him destroy in every imaginable situation and it’s great to see him get a one-hour special. Well-deserved and long overdue!” said Burr.
“He’s long overdue for a one-hour special. He’s relatable to all ages and really takes you on a journey,” said Davidson.
In I’ll Say This, Paul Virzi masterfully balances his edgy New York demeanor with his vulnerability as a husband, father and lover of nerdy things. Paul shares his hatred of political debate on social media, the challenges of manning the gate to heaven, his surprisingly ruthless young daughter and his unintentional sick thoughts.

On Saturday, November 3, the full special will be available to stream in the CC App and on CC.com.
