Netflix has announced four new exclusive stand-up comedy specials, joining the previously announced Chelsea Handler comedy special, Uganda Be Kidding Me Live. Jim Jefferies, Bill Cosby, Bill Burr and Chelsea Peretti are the latest additions.
Netflix will exclusively premiere Jim Jefferies’ stand-up comedy, Jim Jefferies: BARE, at 12:01am PST on Friday, August 29. Filmed live at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, Jim Jefferies is back and fired up as ever. The show follows Jefferies’ international Day Streaming tour and his three previous stand-up performances: Jim Jefferies: Alcoholocaust, Jim Jefferies: Fully Functional, and Jim Jefferies: I Swear to God.
Chelsea Handler headlines her first stand-up special exclusively for Netflix at 12:01am PST on Friday, October 10 in Uganda Be Kidding Me Live, the culmination of Handler’s international stand-up comedy tour in support of her fifth New York Times bestseller, Uganda Be Kidding Me. Using personal photos to enrich her stories and comedy, Handler regales the audience with absurd tales of her global travels and the ridiculous characters in her life, all the while offering her signature unabashed opinions on subjects ranging from her expectations of sexual partners, to the very real problem of dolphin rape.
Chelsea Peretti brings a reimagining of the hour-long special, exclusively to Netflix in One of the Greats, at 12:01am PST on Friday, November 14. Her unique delivery, writing, physicality, and mind shine in this dark yet silly, tightly-constructed material, filmed live at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. The production opens a new window into the singular voice of the Brooklyn 99 star and showcases her diverse talents as an actor, standup, writer, and motorcycle enthusiast.
In Bill Cosby's latest special, Bill Cosby 77, the veteran comedian brings his distinctive point of view to his favourite topics, relationships, marriage and children. Recorded at the SF Jazz Center in San Francisco on Cosby's 77th birthday and directed by Robert Townsend, the concert will premiere only on Netflix at 12:01 am PST on Friday, November 28.
Bill Burr's live show from the Tabernacle in Atlanta will be available from 12:01am PST on Friday, December 5. I’m Sorry You Feel That Way is his fourth hour-long special. Join him as he escapes the zombie apocalypse in his getaway helicopter, explores how nothing ruins great sex like a romcom, and explains how too many childhood hugs may be the downfall of man. The special is a follow-up to Burr’s previous stand-up performances, You People Are All the Same, which is currently streaming on Netflix, Let It Go, and Why Do I Do This.
