Almost Funny: Season 3 is a comedy anthology filmed in VRChat, hosted by BardicRJ, with musical performances by WHSPRS. Each entry is a standalone short film spanning absurdist fiction, dark satire, and genre parody - connected by musical interludes and an ongoing narrative thread. The season follows a misdelivered package that draws in a hitman, a mobster who can't get anyone to disrespect him correctly, a magic academy thrown into chaos by a new student, and a direct-to-video psychic rivalry stretched across multiple sequels. A noir detective works nights and narrates over a deal gone wrong, while a volatile detective's interrogation methods prove difficult to justify. Running between the one-offs is "The Plot" - a recurring storyline that builds across the season toward questions of memory, identity, and whether its characters are who they believe themselves to be.

I like that this special turned out exactly like this — funny, chaotic, sometimes a bit sad, with some swearing, and at times very personal. It might not be perfectly polished according to all the “rules” of the genre, but it perfectly reflects how I’ve been feeling over the past few years. Stand-up has always helped me get through tough times, so I hope that for you too (through me) it can do the same: make you laugh, help you switch off, maybe even make you think. Take whatever you want from it — the main thing is, no negativity!
