Kyle Kinane’s latest stand-up special on Comedy Central is only a week away. If you’re planning on sitting and counting the hours until then, that might be a long wait.
However, if you watch this preview clip of I Liked His Old Stuff Better, it’ll probably make the way to midnight on Jan. 23rd a lot easier.

If you were worried that you’re not getting enough Key & Peele in your life like we all are, rejoice in the news that you’ll be getting a whole special’s worth right before this year’s Super Bowl.
Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele will be hosting an entire sketch special on Comedy Central on Jan. 30th at 10PM. Since you’ll be prepping for Super Bowl party probably at that point, just go ahead and expand your plans to include watching this special too.

Announced today, HBO’s next hour stand up special will be coming from Tig Notaro. Her amazing, lightning-in-a-bottle album Live, it would seem, might just be a preview of this special since she’ll be covering the passing of her mother and her bout with breast cancer.
It is set to tape later this year and we’re hoping that it’ll span the whole range of Tig’s comedic prowess from pushing a stool to the stories she shares at NPR and on The Moth.

Both of Ari Shaffir’s most recent stand-up specials, Passive Aggressive and Paid Regular, will be premiering on network TV on Comedy Central in 2015.
Though Passive Aggressive was shot years ago, it’s still rare for a single comedian to have two specials premiere on the same network in the same year.
Paid Regular will air on Fri. Jan. 16th at midnight and Passive Aggressive will air on Fri. Mar. 13th also at midnight.
Along with the premiere of the storytelling show that Shaffir hosts, This Is Not Happening, Ari should have quite the 2015.

The announcement that Kyle Kinane’s new comedy special was happening sometime early next year and the art work for it was enough for us to get thoroughly excited for what’s coming after this holiday season.
Kinane tweeted this week that I Liked His Old Stuff will premiere on Jan. 23rd at MIDNIGHT on Comedy Central.Now, we have a specific date to mark down and obsessively count down to.
So, thus far, Comedy Central’s upcoming comedy specials have lined-up to be Kinane’s I Liked His Old Stuff in Jan., Matt Braunger’s Big Dumb Animal on Feb. 6th, and Bridget Everett’s Gynecological Wonder, which was just shot last week.
So, get ready for all of that.
Comedy Central already has comedy specials from Kyle Kinane and Matt Braunger lined-up for 2015 making a pretty damn good start for them for their comedy specials.
Now, they’re adding on to that with a comedy special from an unstoppable force of musical comedy Bridget Everett.
Everett just taped “Gynecological Wonder”, which should blow the socks as well as many other items of clothing off anyone watching.
Hopefully, the special will come sooner to Comedy Central rather than later in 2015. We’ll let you know the premiere date as soon as we find out.
My new hour special “BIG DUMB ANIMAL” will premiere Feb. 6th on @ComedyCentral. #BigDumbAnimal

2015 is still a few weeks away and Comedy Central already has a great line-up to kick off the year. Broad City and Kroll Show return and The Nightly Show w/Larry Wilmore and This Is Not Happening have their series premiere in January.
Kyle Kinane’s brand new special “I Liked His Old Stuff Better” is also coming next month to Comedy Central.
On top of all of that, Matt Braunger’s latest special “Big Dumb Animal”, shot earlier this year in NYC, directed by one of our favorites Steve Feinartz (Eddie Pepitone: In Ruins, The Bitter Buddha), will make its premiere after on Feb. 6th.
Braunger details it all in the latest episode of his Ding-Donger podcast.
In short, watch for all of this in a couple of weeks.

So, the legendary Mel Brooks did a one man variety show at The Geffen Playhouse and it will now be a comedy special for HBO.
Stories, bits, and musical numbers are all part of Mel Brooks Live at The Geffen and you should make a reminder, or even your New Year’s Resolution, to watch its premiere on Jan. 31st 9PM on HBO.
Whether it’s because it’s raining today in LA or that it’s Friday and the weekend has started for you or the fact that Nick Offerman’s comedy special just hit Netflix, all the reasons to go watch Nick Offerman: American Ham directed by the fantastic Jordan Vogt-Roberts right this moment are completely valid.
So, go watch right now and maybe even order one of his wood emojis while you’re at it.

Tickets are now on sale and we suggest that you snatch them up quickly.
You’ve saw the trailer earlier this week and you’ve probably been waiting much longer for a brand new hour from the one and only Bill Burr.
Well, it’s finally here. “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” is now on Netflix shot all in gorgeous black and white. Not that we need to tell you, but drop what you’re doing and watch this ASAP.
Bill Burr’s upcoming stand-up special “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” makes its way on to Netflix this Fri., Dec. 5th.
This is the trailer just in case you read all of this before you went ahead and watched it already.
My new stand up special, “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” debuts on Netflix next Friday December 5th.
— Bill Burr (@billburr)
Right now, so many folks are waiting on every move that Bill Burr makes and rightfully so. Whether it be a vinyl record made from a Carnegie Hall performance over three years ago or any small room where he’ll drop in here in LA or his Monday Morning Podcast, Burr is on a roll with all of it.
So, on Friday, Dec. 5th, instead of watching the Star Wars VII: Force Awakens trailer a few more times, you’ll be watching his latest stand-up special “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” when it drops on Netflix on repeat.

Almost a year ago, we wrote a piece about how Conan O’Brien’s remote segments throughout his tenure as a late night host are some of the funniest things to be done on TV and there should be an entire show dedicated to just that. That includes Conan visiting places around the world, dealing with Jordan Schlansky, Clueless Gamer, and more.
Well, it just so turns out that we spoke something into the ether (along with millions of other people most likely) and TBS will air an entire primetime special on Thurs. Dec. 18th at 10PM of the best of these remotes.
We don’t believe in the power of attraction necessarily, but this special happening doesn’t help our case.
Netflix releases its latest stand-up special today with Chelsea Peretti’s “One Of The Greats” shot at The Palace of Fine Arts and directed by Lance Bangs.
If you have to take a break from work in order to watch this, you could always say to people, “Hey, I’m watching One of the Greats” (We’re not sure if Peretti intended the title for that specific instance or not).
Either way, watch it on Netflix here.
It’s rare to hear of comedians reach stand-up specials in the double digits, but Keith Malley of Keith and the Girl has just hit his 11th special with God Made Me: The Very Worst of Keith Malley.
At this point, Malley likes to take a little bit of a leap in concept for his specials, so the fun in this one is how dark Malley can go from all his material (i.e. “the very worst”).
It was recorded live at the legendary Comedy Cellar in NYC and you can and should watch it right now on Hulu, which means you don’t need to “borrow” someone’s password).
This Friday at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood, Jimmy Dore will be shooting a brand new 1 hour stand-up special for TV.
It’s been quite awhile since we’ve seen a special from Jimmy and, as that’s the case, you should all be excited to see the sharp, incisive bits that have been gestating in Dore’s head over the last several years.
The taping is at 9:30PM Nov. 7th and you can get your tickets here.
Nov. 14th will be the day when “One Of The Greats”, Chelsea Peretti’s brand new stand-up special will hit Netflix for your streaming enjoyment.
That’s three weeks away and gives, in that time, you can enjoy this trailer complete with a bit of the appropriate, “low-key” intro.
Netflix has just released their latest in their string of big time comedy specials. The efficiently titled Wyatt Cenac: Brooklyn is now streaming at Netflix and should be added to your list, which probably includes Simpsons World, of what you’re watching/why you canceled most of your plans today.
Watch Wyatt Cenac: Brooklyn here.
A couple of months ago, we caught wind of the awesome podcast collective known as Feral Audio recording a live album featuring performances from the various hosts of their shows.
Today, we’re more than happy to not only find that the album Feral Audio LIVE has come out, but that it’s also available as a special so you can watch what went down at Nerdmelt several weeks ago.
So, don’t waste any more time reading this and get to listening and/or watching Feral Audio LIVE that indeed brings Dan Harmon, Steve Agee, Little Esther/Esther Povitsky, Duncan Trussell, Brody Stevens, John Roy, and more all together.
The night is finally almost here when Jerrod Carmichael makes his worldwide TV stand up debut with an HBO special. That’s right, this will be Jerrod’s first time doing stand up on television and it’s an entire HBO special.
Don’t miss Love at the Store on HBO at 10PM tonight. Here’s a clip of it while you wait those few hours.
We were there for the taping and it was fantastic, so we really think you shouldn’t miss this.
The promos for Jerrod Carmichael’s HBO special “Love at the Store” just get better and better. First, he sponsored a Peewee football team, and now he’s taking the opportunity given at a LA City Council hearing for the public to speak on specific issues to get the word out about Love at the Store.
Watch it here and be sure to watch the special on Oct. 4th at 10PM on HBO.
With the premiere of his HBO stand up special Love at the Store just around the corner, Jerrod Carmichael wanted to make sure people watch it give something back.
So, he sponsored a PeeWee football team, which is a great thing for a community. He even went as far as buying them jerseys that just so happen to “coincidentally” tie into his special.
Watch Jerrod’s marketing savvy altruism at work plus a great Steve Rannazzisi cameo and be sure to watch Love at the Store Oct. 4th at 10PM on HBO.
HBO is setting to close out the year strong with their comedy specials. They just scored their highest rated comedy special with Bill Maher’s Live From D.C. in five years and they’re about to premiere Jerrod Carmichael’s first televised appearance in the form of an hour stand-up special next month.
Here’s a new trailer for Jerrod Carmichael’s Love at the Store directed by Spike Lee.
Please mark Sat. Oct. 4th 10PM on wherever you remind yourself to do/watch things so you won’t forget to watch.
If you’re unfamiliar with the comedic works of the brilliant Tim Minchin (or even if you are), sit and give a watch to his special Tim Minchin at the Heritage Orchestra live at The Royal Albert Hall that played on Showtime.
Comedy Dynamics has just put it up on their Hulu channel and whether or not you were planning watching a comedy special today, watch this.
