Netflix Announces Line-Up for “15 Minute Comedy Specials”
A 15 minute comedy special is definitely experimental in the sense that it’s longer than a late night set or even a set on one of Comedy Central’s stand-up showcase series, but it’s shorter than a half hour special. Since Netflix has been shelling out the big bucks for the big names as of the last couple years, we guess this is their way to stay connected to comedians still working their way to being a household name (and probably someone whom would have gotten an hour special from the Netflix of years past)
With that being said, we’re glad to see the line-up features plenty of folks that we’ve got to enjoy over the years and deserve the platform of Netflix to have their comedy be seen and heard including:
Aisling Bea
Michelle Buteau
Tim Dillon
JR De Guzman
Sabrina Jalees
Janelle James
Sam Jay
Josh Johnson
Ian Karmel
Jak Knight
Matteo Lane
Max Silvestri
Taylor Tomlinson
Phil Wang
Emma Willmann
Kate Willett
Tapings have yet to happen and the series isn’t named, but keep a close on eye on @netflixisajoke to see when both of those things are announced.
