I Got A Mule!

It is a guitar-strumming portrait of aging from a man who once defined MTV-era shock comedy. Instead of humping a dead moose or painting his father’s car, a 53-year-old Tom Green takes the stage with an acoustic guitar and a head full of thoughts about country living.

Filmed at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, the hour marks a home-state victory lap that dropped alongside a companion documentary and unscripted series on Prime Video in early 2025. This phase of Green’s life began when he abandoned Los Angeles during the pandemic, bought a remote farm in the Ottawa Valley, and took up homesteading with a dog named Charley and a fifteen-hundred-pound mule. The stand-up reflects this massive pivot. He splits his time between standard observational jokes about the pitfalls of modern social media and long, bizarre country music numbers about his rural setup.

For audiences expecting the chaotic public-access energy of his youth, the show might feel jarring. There is a loose, improvisational quality to the pacing, and Green occasionally seems content to play a few chords and let the energy drift. But for those who grew up with his stunts, there is a quiet comfort in watching an older, sobered-up comic find peace in the Canadian countryside.
