Aziz Ansari has a brand new standup special due out in March. In a press release today, Netflix announced that Aziz Ansari: Live at Madison Square Garden will debut on Friday, March 6th. The special was taped at Ansari’s sold-out Madison Square Garden shows last year and covers topics “ranging from the struggle of American immigrants to the food industry to relationships to gender inequality.†Here’s what Aziz had to say when we asked him about selling out Madison Square Garden back in September:
I couldn’t imagine that I’d get to play the Garden or something like that when I started out doing comedy. I didn’t even think I’d get to do theaters or anything, so I feel fortunate enough to even have that experience. So to do the Garden is not something I had on a to-do list or anything … So I was thinking about whether I wanted to do it and I told a couple friends; I was like “I’m not sure if I want to do a run at the Beacon, or I could do the Garden…†and they were like “What!? You could do Madison Square Garden?†So every time I got that crazy reaction I was like you know what, I should do it — it would be such a crazy thing to get to do in my life. So I set it up, and then when I saw it sold out I was like “Holy shit.â€
