Joe Pera Talks With You is pretty gosh darn wonderful to fall asleep to.
Would it still work with subtitles? My husband is deaf so if the comedy works a lot of with tone and stuff it wont work for us.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
I think it might work. A lot of what Joe Pera does is sort of deadpan humor anyway, so part of the joke is lack of tone or emotion. His voice is very calming because he's sort of monotone.

Here is a link to the full episode of "Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep" which is a beautiful episode. Give it a shot and see what you think. The autogenerated closed captioning available on this episode seems mostly accurate to me. DVD copies have great subtitles, not sure about digital variants.
Hmm it's not very "haha funny," it's more the vibe of it and the charm lies in his mundane but interesting demeanor. Watch a clip on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. I have no idea how deafness would affect the experience, I'm sorry.
I'll never stop being sad it got cancelled. I wear my Tree TV sweatshirt with pride.
Dr. Katz Professional Therapist is also in that wheelhouse of quiet, calm, and sweet. It also features H. Jon Benjamin of Bob's Burgers fame.
