Netflix is kicking off 2019 by giving stand-up viewers way too many specials to handle. Earlier this year, the streaming network announced its plans to release 47 stand-up specials on the same day, and today the premiere date for the so-called “stand-up comedy event series” was announced: New Year’s Day 2019. The specials were taped all over the world — including at the 2018 Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, as well as at venues in São Paulo, Mexico City, Mumbai, Berlin, and Amsterdam — and result in a wide-ranging mix of international specials in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Dutch, German, and English.
