COFFEE loving, guitar strumming, cat wrangling comedian Marc Maron has a brand new stand-up special coming to Netflix next week.

Recorded live at Pantages Theatre in Minneapolis, Too Real is billed as "a storm of ideas on meditation, mortality, documentary films and our weird modern world" covering "everything from art and aging to his relationship with his parents and the longevity of the Rolling Stones" – in other words, 'standard Maron', as fans of his superb twice weekly monologue/interview-based podcast WTF and semi-autobiographical sitcom will know.

Having recently reached a whole new audience after starring in the Netflix original series GLOW (also well worth a watch and set to return for a second series next year), Too Real will hopefully recruit a whole new swathe of converts to the cause of this veteran stand-up.

If you're among them, be advised that Maron's previous Netflix outing Thinky Pain and his 2015 special More Later (available on Amazon Prime Video) are also hilarious.
