Sam Morril Explores Reopening New York Comedy Clubs Post-Pandemic in “Full Capacity” Documentary Trailer

Last year, Sam Morril did what all comics who were dying to get back onstage did: Make the most of a not-so-great situation. He would go up on rooftops, various outdoor shows, and even brought along a camera crew to film a special. And once clubs started opening back up this year, he decided to document that in a new special.

Full Capacity examines what it’s like for comics to get back onstage indoors in New York for the first time in over a year. In the trailer for the documentary, we see Morril talk to comics about what the experience has been like. Some of the comics featured in the doc include Ray Romano, Colin Quinn, Dave Attell, Sal Vulcano, Robert Kelly, Chris Redd, Sam Jay, Joe List, Mark Normand, Rachel Feinstein, Taylor Tomlinson, Ronnie Chieng, Rosebud Baker, Ari Shaffir, and more.

Morril is one of the fastest-rising stand-up comics in New York City and one of the best joke writers in the scene today. He is a regular on Comedy Central’s This Week at the Comedy Cellar, where he appears frequently when not touring cities across the nation. He was named one of Comedy Central’s Comics to Watch in 2011 and has performed multiple stand-up sets on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late, Late Show with James Corden and Conan. He’s also had stints on Last Comic Standing, America’s Got Talent, @midnight with Chris Hardwick, and Inside Amy Schumer.

In February 2020, Morril released his 3rd stand-up special for Comedy Central, I Got This on their YouTube channel and received over 1.5 million views within the first two weeks. Morril then later released it as a comedy album with 800 Pound Gorilla Records.

In 2015, the comedian recorded his debut album, Class Act, with Comedy Central Records, which went to #1 on iTunes and made numerous top 10 lists and appeared on season four of Comedy Central’s The Half Hour. His first one-hour special, Amy Schumer Presents Sam Morril: Positive Influence premiered on Comedy Central in 2018.

Morril was the host of his very own show on MSG called People Talking Sports, which ran for two seasons and received an Emmy® nomination. Morril also has a cameo in the Academy Award-nominated film, Joker.
