Amazon Prime Announces Six New Stand Up Comedy Specials Starting This August

Up until now, Netflix has been the “go-to” streaming service for stand up comedy. Now Amazon is getting in on the act, with six new comedy specials from some great comedians.

The specials, which feature new material recorded throughout 2019, star Chris Ramsey, Ed Gamble, Flo & Joan, Jayde Adams, Paul Chowdry and Rob Delaney. The first four launch Monday, 19th August 2019 on Amazon Prime, with the rest following later in the year. You can see trailers for the initial specials below.

The critically acclaimed comedian Chris Ramsey brings his latest stand-up show exclusively to Amazon this summer. Join the “brilliantly engaging natural storyteller” (Evening Standard) as he explores everything in his life from his near-miss with Hollywood superstardom to his recent near-miss with death, what to do when they stop selling your favourite underpants, and how to avoid giving up on life in your 30’s and buying a caravan… all while being sure to watch his tone (at the request of his wife).

Stand-up comedian Ed Gamble brings his first special, Blood Sugar, to the screen, recorded as part of his twice-extended nationwide sell-out tour. The world can breathe a sigh of relief as Ed tackles the big topics like spin class, Jesus’s abs and how guide dogs are con artists.

Award-winning musical comedy duo, and sisters Flo & Joan present a bunch of their sharp, waggish songs for your ears, eyes and throat in their first comedy special baby.

Award-winning and record-breaking comedian Paul Chowdhry brings his stand-up special Live Innit to the screen. Tackling subjects in a way no other stand-up can, Paul is at his searingly honest best as he takes on internet trolls, terrorists and Michael Jackson.

These specials join a global line up of comedy talent including Jim Gaffigan launching 16th August, and Alonzo Bodden, #IMomSoHard, Alice Wetterlund and Mike E. Winfield all launching 23rd August, exclusively on Prime Video.

The four comedy specials above launch on Monday, 19th August 2019 on Amazon Prime Video.
