A short comedy special about Cadbury Creme Eggs.
A twenty-minute stand-up set entirely dedicated to Easter candy sounds like a dare, but Adam Quesnell treats Cadbury Creme Eggs like a battleground. This hyper-specific fixation drives the short special, showcasing a manic obsession with seasonal chocolate and an intense disdain for marshmallow Peeps.\n\nReleased in 2018 by Stand Up! Records as both a video special and a seven-inch vinyl single, the project arrived the same year as Quesnell’s second full-length LP, Despair II: Social Justice Warlord. While his typical material leans into heavy existential dread and social anxiety, this release narrows his focus down to a seasonal sugar rush. Notable bits include his strategy for eating the eggs ‘snake-style’ and his mocking of marshmallow confections with dead eyes.
