There are few folks I’d rather go along with for a Flashback Friday than Charles McBee (Comedy Central, “Live at Gotham”). As the co-host of the “Are We Old?” podcast and a “professional millennial,” he spends a lot of time diving into the culture of the ’80s and ’90s for folks who miss the era of scented erasers, Easy-Bake ovens and Reebok pumps. His new hour of comedy, “You Had to Be There,” allows for a snuggle deep into this sleeping bag of an era with a longer nostalgia-tinged set. Those who grew up in this golden age of pop culture – can you tell we’re about the same age? – will feel at home with his observations, but even those born afterward will find a kinship. McBee talks about it all with an enthusiasm and warmth that will draw anyone in. Despite the name of the hour, even if you weren’t there, you’ll feel right at home.
“Charles McBee: You Had to Be There” at 7 p.m. June 27 at The Rockwell, 255 Elm St., Davis Square, Somerville. $20 to $25.
