Untitled Comedy Competition Series

Netflix and global superstar Kevin Hart are on a mission to crown the next big name in stand-up with a new comedy competition series. Guided by Hart and a crew of comedy titans (to be announced at a later date), this unfiltered, uncensored, and unapologetic competition will pull back the curtain on the gritty, hilarious, and often unpredictable path of a stand-up career. 

Contestants from all across the nation will face rigorous tests that mirror the real-life journey of a comedian — brutal open mics, bombed sets, rewrites, and the pressure of big-stage performances. The competition will give viewers an unvarnished look behind the curtain of comedy’s darkest corners and brightest spotlights with the challenges inspired by comics’ real careers.

Format
8 episodes
Executive Producers
Kevin Hart; Jane Lipsitz, Dan Cutforth, Nan Strait, and Dan Volpe (for Alfred Street Industries); Luke Kelly-Clyne and Meghan Hoffman (for Hartbeat)
