Nocturnal Admissions

Paul Virzi focuses on the minor everyday friction points of middle age, marriage, and suburban dad life, bringing a punchy East Coast club energy to his first Netflix hour. Directed by Pete Davidson, the 2022 release is built around relatable domestic annoyances, avoiding heavy political topics in favor of personal oddities and family dynamics.\n\nAt this point in his career, Virzi was already a seasoned New York club veteran, well-known for co-hosting the Anything Better? podcast with Bill Burr. This hour, filmed in the fall of 2021, marked his transition onto a major streaming platform after years of road work and club sets.\n\nMuch of the material centers on the quiet warfare of domestic life. He spends time on how his wife actively sabotages his attempts to get in shape, the creeping paranoia that comes from watching too many true crime shows, and an awkward late-night drugstore run. Other highlights include an impression of his eccentric Sicilian father, who is utterly convinced he once witnessed a UFO, and a lighthearted breakdown of why he wrote in former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning on his presidential ballot.
