Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready (2019) Haddish hosts this

               new comedy special in which she gives us some of her own genius comedy
               as well as shines a light on six of her favorite up-and-coming comedians.
               If Tiffany Haddish thinks Chaunté Wayans, April Macie, Tracey Ashley,
               Aida Rodriguez, Flame Monroe, and Marlo Williams are hilarious, then
               we're game to listen. Streaming on Netflix



               Katherine Ryan: Glitter Room (2019) Ryan's latest comedy special is
               pure gold—or should we say glitter. She tackles several different topics
               throughout her hour-long set, including the Kardashians' "revenge
               bodies," school bullies, and raising, as she calls her, a "very fancy"

               child. Streaming on Netflix


               Amy Schumer: Growing (2019) Of course Schumer has one of the
               most honest, hilarious specials about pregnancy in comedy history. “I didn’t
               know that being pregnant could be really hard,” she says at one point. “You
               bitches all lie about it.” And that's all you need to know before tuning
               in. Streaming on Netflix



               Ali Wong: Baby Cobra (2016) Wong's brand of sharp, deadpan humor
               is perhaps best encapsulated in Baby Cobra. which she filmed for Netflix
               when she was seven months pregnant. She covers that, plus other personal
               topics like sex, hoarding, and feminism. If you're on the fence about

               watching, just watch the clip, below, in which Wong delightfully tears into
               the double standard surrounding male and female comedians after they
               have kids. Streaming on Netflix


               Amy Schumer: The Leather Special (2017) Schumer's frank and
               unapologetic opinions on sex and relationships catapulted her to the center

               of the comedy universe in early 2015. Not long after this she released her
               first feature film, Trainwreck, and followed this up
               with Snatched, costarring Goldie Hawn, in 2017. All these experiences fuel
               Schumer's Leather Special for Netflix. It combines the raunchy humor that

               classic Schumer fans love, along with postfame pop-culture commentary
               that keeps things interesting. Streaming on Netflix


               Anjelah Johnson: Not Fancy (2015) Johnson's comedy career spans
               over a decade, starting with MADtv, where she developed iconic characters
               like Bon Qui Qui, and moving on to her own stand-up specials and film
