Wyatt Cenac To Debut Netflix Special On October 21, Touring Too

Netflix is set to debut former Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac's new special Brooklyn on October 21st. Deadline reported today that the comedian is also releasing the special as an limited print vinyl LP through his production company Amalgamated Bear.

The special was recorded in the city it's named after at Union Hall. Topics include a cop drama, probably a reality show about cheesemongers and the weirdness of adults giving each other hickies. Brooklyn will feature puppets as well as cameos from comedian Eugene Mirman (“Bob’s Burgers”) and Gbenga Akinnagbe from “The Wire”.

Cenac will tour through the US in twelve series including San Francisco, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh.
