Patton Oswalt: We All Scream

Available to stream right now, Patton Oswalt’s We All Scream is full of jokes about the ravages of aging, heinous bodily emissions, the plight of baby boomers in modern America and who Oswalt thinks he could have become had he just stuck to that darn to-do list he made during COVID lockdown. Oswalt directed the special himself, too, marking his first foray into the behind-the-camera art.

Nick Kroll: Little Big Boy

The first Netflix special from the Big Mouth co-creator, Little Big Boy finds Nick Kroll joking about his mom’s gentle guilt trips and the pure, absolutely unwarranted rage he feels as her grown-up child. Kroll knows he’s being unreasonable — it’s part of the whole gag of the special — but, as he argues, who among us hasn’t dodged a few parental phone calls?

Little Big Boy also features Kroll’s thoughts on becoming a dad himself, as well as his dalliances with heartbreak and emitting the perfect secret fart. Anyone who loves Little Big Boy won’t have to wait long for more Kroll goodness, either: Big Mouth Season 6 arrives on Netflix Oct. 28.

Hasan Minhaj: The King's Jester

The host of Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj makes his return to Netflix with Hasan Minhaj: The King’s Jester, out Oct. 4. Filmed at the famed Brooklyn Academy of Music, The King’s Jester captures Minhaj’s new one-man show, in which the Homecoming King jokes about everything from freedom of speech to fatherhood and fertility. Prashanth Venkataramanujam directed the special — he previously co-created Patriot Act with Minhaj — and he and Minhaj are currently writing a new Bollywood comedy.

Iliza Shlesinger: Hot Forever

Iliza Shlesinger is back, back, back again with her sixth stand-up special for Netflix, Iliza Shlesinger: Hot Forever. Out Oct. 11, Hot Forever is full of the Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show host’s thoughts about ugly bras, adulthood and why way too many grown-ass men think it’s OK to just not have a box spring. (Don’t even get us started on how many guys sleep on bare mattresses. We can’t even.)

Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy

Gabriel Iglesias’ new special is supersized. Filmed earlier this year in front of a sold-out crowd at Dodger Stadium, Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy marked the first time a comedian ever performed at the arena, which is actually the largest venue in all of Major League Baseball. (There’s room for about 56,000 fans in the stands alone, plus however many seats organizers can fit on the field itself.) The special finds the SoCal native reminiscing about growing up in Los Angeles, telling the audience about a recent extortion attempt made against him and even dishing about the highest fine he ever received onstage. How scandalous!

Fortune Feimster: Good Fortune

The hilarious Fortune Feimster is back with an all-new hour-long special this October. Feimster wrote  and road-tested Fortune Feimster: Good Fortune during the pandemic, around the time she also married her wife, Jax. Continuing in the voice she established with her first Netflix hour, Sweet & Salty, Feimster leans even more into storytelling in Good Fortune. She opens up about what she’s learned it means to be a good adult and a good spouse. In a way, the special is even a bit of a love letter: Feimster filmed the Good Fortune in Chicago, near where she met Jax, and some of the audience members at the taping were also there the night the couple first met.
