The Best Comedy Specials on Netflix: What Shouldn't Be Missed?

[Justin J]

I’ve been getting into comedy specials on Netflix lately and realized there are so many gems. It’s fascinating how different comedians approach storytelling and humor, and I feel like some of the best specials get overlooked.

For instance, Ali Wong's "Baby Cobra" was not just hilarious but also incredibly raw and relatable. On the other hand, I think John Mulaney's "Kid Gorgeous" is a masterclass in stand-up, balancing nostalgia and social commentary effortlessly.

What do you all think? What are your must-see comedy specials on Netflix? Are there any newcomers you think are worth checking out? Let’s celebrate the laughs!

Totally feel you on Ali Wong’s "Baby Cobra", her honesty about motherhood hit hard and was just so refreshing. And yeah, Mulaney's timing is just chef's kiss. If you haven't seen Hannah Gadsby’s "Nanette" yet, it’s a must! It completely flips the comedy special format on its head, blending humor with some heavy themes.

Also, love how diverse the styles are on Netflix. I recently watched Sam Jay's "3 in the Morning" and she's got such a unique voice. What about you? Any hidden gems that you think are flying under the radar?
