Comedian Ryan Hamilton is about to premiere his first stand-up special Happy Face on Netflix. The Idaho native, who has grown in popularity through the New York comedy scene, will debut his talents on the VOD streaming service in August.
Happy Face, which Hamilton confirmed earlier this week in a tweet (see below), was taped at The Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College on May 13 of this year. The forthcoming hour-long follows a slew of other original comedy specials debuting on Netflix in recent months including May’s extensive lineup of veteran comedians and June’s releases by Chris D’Elia and Rory Scovel. Hamilton will be joined by Maz Jobrani, who is also slated to debut his newest special, Immigrant, on the service in August.
Friends, my one-hour Netflix special will be released Aug. 29. Set your VCRs. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you kindly. pic.twitter.com/m4O9GrK0xS
