Agent of Farce

Zach Funk wants you to know that he is the ‘Uncle Funk’ of his friend group, the reliable adult of the pack who nevertheless spends way too much time thinking about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His second stand-up special, Agent of F.A.R.C.E., leans heavily into this specific brand of self-deprecating storytelling, blending everyday anxiety with a dry, observational eye.

Filmed in September 2025 at The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls in Millvale, Pennsylvania, the hour captures the Pittsburgh-based comedian in front of a hometown crowd. Released in early 2026 by Burn This Records, the special is a follow-up to his 2019 debut album, Brains Are Weird. Funk structures his set around the vulnerabilities of modern adulthood, covering topics like his low sex drive, the absurdities of turnpike billboards, and the decision to remain child-free. Other standout bits focus on mental health, including a cynical spin on depression and a story about calling in sick to work after learning too much about the world.
