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
