PLEASE SIT DOWN FOR NETFLIX STAND-UP! (NEW COMEDY SPECIALS COMING SOON)

A few weeks ago Netflix took off over 15 stand-up specials from Colin Quinn and Aisha Tyler which I found unsettling because one of the fantastic things about Netflix was that they had a plethora of specials. I was relieved when I found out that they were actually going to be having all new exclusive Netflix stand-up! Netflix and New Wave have been working hard at becoming what Comedy Central was in the 90s, where they gave anyone who was worthy a comedy special. One comedian who’s been around for over 20 years, Eddie Pepitone, has never had a comedy special which BAFFLES me considering how incredibly funny he is.

Over the next four months we’ll be graced with stand-up specials from Chelsea Handler, Bill Cosby, Jim Jefferies, Bull Burr and Chelsea Peretti.
