What's up VI-Control! Long-time lurker, first-time poster here!

As the title implies, I just had the chance to do a bit of work on an HBO Max Standup special!

The show is called DOTS, and the comedian is a local UK comedian called Ahir Shah. I was in charge of the walk-off/end credits music. It was a tremendous amount of fun, albeit pretty hard work. Since I'm also based in the UK, I won't actually be able to watch the special (I've seen a clip of my part thanks to a friend but nothing else). It also means I can't link it here directly, but if anyone fancies some witty British standup, I'm a big fan of Ahir's work and would love to know if anyone's seen it/has any opinions!

Congratulations on the gig. Very nice! I like Ahir Shah, too; it's nice for your music to be associated with him!
 
Well done on your HBO gig. I love my British comedians but did not know of Ahir, so I watched a few of his clips on Youtibe. FWIW, here in Canada we have the hilarious Raj Binder (aka Shaun Majumber) on tv's This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Take a peak while you hopefully get the a response from someone who has watched your HBO show.

Well, I am new to orchestration so I mainly ask a lot of questions and, so far, everyone here has been great in giving advice

However, the more I learn, the more confident I become in speaking up in threads about my opinion on something -- even when I am wrong, I feel like I am learning something

Congrats on getting the job! That was a nice piece of music. Your OP nudged me to watch the Ahir Shah special, which I actually enjoyed.

(I have watched a few other stand-up specials in the past couple of years that were all some blend of disappointing and boring -- I'm not sure an hour is the right length for a stand-up routine for some people; probably many would do better to stick to a solid 10-minute routine.)

I also rewound the credits to see whether they mentioned the composers -- and it turns out they did! And with the same size text as everyone else! ;)
