Comedians who want to shoot specials and have a place to air it have it so easy compared to 15 years ago. Comedy Central, HBO and Showtime used to be the only channels for new specials and even then they only released a handful in total every year. Now outlets like Netflix, Seeso and even Audible are putting out several specials every week.
Amy Schumer is the latest to join the Netflix fray with her newest special headed to the streamer on March 7. Deadline says it was taped on November 5 in Dever at Bellco Theater. Schumer, of course, had something funny to say on the situation: “Maybe now they will look at my “Stranger Things” audition tape to play the demogorgon for Season 2.”
Schumer's last special, Live at the Apollo, aired in 2015 on HBO. Her next project is a movie with Goldie Hawn called Snatched set to release in May.
