The Holiday season can be an exhausting time of year; plenty of food, alcohol, and family arguments. The socializing can reduce you to a secluded bunker that you call your bedroom. When the over-celebrated New Year’s Eve comes, and you pretend it is the best night of the year, as you repeatedly stretch that smile numbed by your fourth sambuca shot, you can relax knowing that on New Year’s Day you have that golden opportunity to stay in bed and be miserable. Well, you don’t have to, because Netflix Comedy Event Comedians of the World will be hitting our thumbnails.
Here is the first peek of the key art:
And here is Netflix’s very enthusiastic presser:
“Janu-worry? We’ve got you covered. Comedians of the World is coming to Netflix on January 1, 2019, so there’s no excuse needed to stay indoors and get too comfortable with the international language of laughter. The show, a global first of its kind, will bring together 47 comedians from 13 regions in 8 languages in an unprecedented stand-up comedy event series.”
The groundbreaking series will feature a range of stand-up specials from comedians diverse in style, gender and ethnicity, taped in eight languages from around the world. All episodes will drop in one go – so get ready to start the new year off with a laugh!
