12 Netflix Original Standup Specials That Will Make You LOL
A comedy lover's dream.
I spend a great deal of my time watching standup. I like to think of myself as a standup comedian aficionado so I watch just about any special on Netflix. These are some of the best comedians and specials I've watched on Netflix, some so good I've watched more than once.
1. John Mulaney - Kid Goregous
John Mulaney is by far my favorite comedian and all three of his Netflix specials are FANTASTIC. "Kid Gorgeous" is his newest one but I highly recommend them all.
2. Tom Segura - Mostly Stories
Tom Segura is a bit different in his comedy as he is pure sarcasm. "Mostly Stories" is great and so is any other special he has.
3. Hasan Minhaj - Homecoming King
I love comedians that talk about their life. Hasan Minhaj does just that by basically telling you his entire life and little stories about growing up the child of immigrants and the weight that holds.
4. Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher - The Honeymoon Standup Special
I was not sure I would enjoy this but I was totally wrong. Married couple and expecting parents (at the time), Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher, kill it in this three-part special.
5. Ryan Hamilton - Happy Face
I've rewatched this many times because something about it is still constantly funny. Ryan Hamilton will have you rolling on the floor.
6. Ali Wong - Baby Cobra
"Baby Cobra" is Ali Wong's first special and it's just as funny as her more recent special Hard Knock Wife. She relays the life of being a mom and wife in a completely comical way!
7. Jen Kirkman - Just Keep Livin'?
This is Jen Kirkman's second special on Netflix and it's so different from her first. A complete turn around from the first, Jen will have you dying.
8. Judd Apatow - The Return
You've seen his movies and TV shows but you probably haven't seen him do standup. Judd Apatow makes a return to the stage and you wouldn't even know he hasn't done standup in years.
9. Joe Mande - Joe Mande's Award Winning Comedy Special
I honestly don't know what to say about Joe Mande's special other than just to watch it. His stories are ridiculous and you'll just want to hear them from yourself.
10. Sarah Silverman - A Speck of Dust
She's crass but we love her. Sarah Silverman gives you exactly the type of comedy you'd expect and it's amazing!
11. Hari Kondabolu - Warn Your Relatives
Another special I was surprised by, Hari will have you laughing over his mother and wanting to try all the different types of mangos the world has to offer.
12. Katherine Ryan - In Trouble
A Canadian gem living in England, Katherine Ryan pushes boundaries with her comedy. You'll love her stories of Canada and her daughter.
