Two New Dave Chappelle Stand-Up Specials Hit Netflix This Month; See The Teaser Trailer Now
For years, one of the highest bars you could clear as a comedian was to film an HBO special. But times have changed in the streaming era, and it appears that the go-to hub for A-list stand-up comedy specials is no longer HBO, but Netflix. The streaming service has locked down Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Amy Schumer, and Louis C.K. for new specials, and last November, they also announced that they'd be releasing three new specials from comedian Dave Chappelle.
Now we know that two of those three specials — titled Deep in the Heart of Texas and The Age of Spin — will be available to watch later this month, as they're being released simultaneously on March 21, 2017. Netflix has also unveiled a teaser that takes some snippets from the show(s) and plays them over footage of the comedian frozen in place as he's seated somewhere outside.
Chappelle is one of my favorite stand-up comedians, and I can't wait to watch both of these.
