Hannah Gadsby: Nanette

The Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby is taking an anti-comedy stance in her newest special.

Nikki Glaser: Good Clean Filth

Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser takes on a range of topics in her brutally-honest yet conversational style. Whether she’s dishing about sex, outlining the do’s and dont’s of dating (and how to trick someone into marriage), or oversharing about her (not-so-private) parts, Glaser delivers an hour of unapologetic and no-holds-barred comedy around topics often considered “taboo,” and showcases her ability to pivot from humiliating moments to being an empowering voice for women: the kind she yearned for as a confused adolescent.

Franco Escamilla: por la anécdota

Mexican stand-up comedian Franco Escamilla draws his jokes from real-life experiences -- and he's willing to do anything for new material. He's not afraid to make generalizations about how men bathe. But he is scared to talk to strangers. Especially at funerals.

Tom Stade: I Swear

Renowned for his carefree attitude and broad-minded vision, nothing is taboo to this enlightened and captivating comedy legend. Combining off-the-scale charm, razor-sharp wit and a no-holds-barred attitude; Tom pledges to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Drew Michael

Comedian Drew Michael is taking the stage and is holding nothing back in his first HBO stand-up special, in which he navigates his fears, anxieties and insecurities in an unconventional stand-up setting. Michael’s darkly comic, stream-of-consciousness monologue raises questions of identity, narrative, self-awareness and the limits of the medium itself.

That's Funny

On the verge of a mid-life crisis, a former stand-up comedian believes an appearance on a popular late-night show will save his career, but ends up learning the journey is more rewarding than the destination.

Josh Widdicombe: Bit Much...

Recorded live at The London Palladium, Josh performs his stand-up show where he finally tackles the hot comedy topics of advent calendars, weddings and the closing time of his local park

Tracy Morgan: Takin' It Too Far

Grateful and hyped, Tracy Morgan owns his set and unabashedly tackling topics such as dating in his 50s (along with the unexpected side effects that comes with it), his dysfunctional family, attempting to reverse gentrification in Brooklyn, and the very public 2014 car accident that left him with multiple broken bones, a traumatic brain injury, and a substantial settlement.

Chris Fleming: Hell

Chris Fleming lights up Dynasty Typewriter as he explores the unique hell of performance anxiety through musical comedy, anecdotes about Phil Collins, and everything in between. His surreal take on the plight of being a live performer is accompanied by absurdist sketches depicting the artist's journey through Hollywood and the mystical nature of live theater.

Patton Oswalt: We All Scream

Patton riffs on the hazards of aging, his failed shutdown plans, and the day his wife turned into a Valkyrie in this stand-up special he also directed.

Henry van Loon: Electropis

In his first show, Henry was only concerned with entertaining his audience and no more than that. In Electropis he talks about essential things: about his generation Y, materialism, fear, love and nice women. Is this performance intense? Yes. Funny? That's for sure. And is it really about the aforementioned themes? Probably not.

Anirban Dasgupta: Take It Easy

Nothing in life is black and white, except Take It Easy, Anirban Dasgupta's stand-up special. His material deals with hate and love in the hostile internet era, and why both these intense emotions need to be told to take it easy. In this set he comprehends events from the past year at home and at work; events he would rather forget unless he wrote jokes on them.
