Here is the synopsis shared by Netflix, “Kevin Hart knows what it takes to turn a mic and a dream into comedy superstardom. In Funny AF, he’s searching for the next comedian ready to follow that path.”
“In this uncensored comedy competition, rising stand-ups from across the country step into the spotlight hoping to make the same leap Kevin once did from grinding it out in small clubs to headlining their own specials. Along the way, Kevin and a circle of comedy heavyweights will decide who progresses in the competition, offering a behind-the-curtain look at the pressure, triumphs and occasional bombs that shape a career in stand-up. The mission is simple: find the next great voice in comedy with the guts, perspective, and punchlines to become the next household name. The competition builds to live final rounds where a global vote will determine the ultimate winner.”
Keep track of the shows that Netflix has canceled and/or renewed this year so far.
