Youp van 't Hek: Schreeuwstorm

In his first HBO comedy special, John Early brings his unique blend of cutting commentary, pop star swagger, and all-around loveable hilarity to Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, New York. In the style of a gritty 70s rockumentary, Early performs stand-up and explosive song covers from Britney to Neil Young, intercut with Spinal Tap-esque backstage sketches.

Roastmaster General Jeff Ross talks to Black Lives Matter activists, goes on an eye-opening police ride-along, and roasts members of the Boston Police Department.

For Felix Lobrecht, catastrophes have great comedy potential. His school days in Berlin were characterized by drunk teachers and uncivilized classmates.

Sahil Shah is 27 but mentally considers himself as a 3 year old. He's one of India's top comedians and his first ever stand up special Childish Behaviour is a look at his immature life, the silliness and pointlessness of things around him and his innate ability of making stupid faces and silly sounds to make anyone laugh.

Anthony Jeselnik brings his signature dark and twisted point of view to this special. He holds nothing back, routinely saying things most wouldn't ever dare. Anthony is not for the easily offended or humorless.

From his thoughts on aggressively scented trash bags to desk jobs in hell, comedian Demetri Martin delivers a one-of-a-kind stand-up special.

Registration of the fourth comedy special by the Dutch comedian Ronald Goedemondt, in which Goedemondt explores the theme conformism.

This 60-minute video is 100% Shandling, which is either good or bad news depending upon who's watching. Shandling's "average guy stuck in the farce called life" persona works quite well within the framework of the tape. Casual fans, however, might prefer the Johnny Carson-baiting Shandling of the much-later cable series It's Garry Shandling's Show and The Larry Sanders Show. Like those two projects, Alone in Vegas began as a Showtime cable special-Shandling's first, in fact.
