Netflix announced Thursday that American comedian Chris Rock will be the first artist to perform live on the platform.
The streaming service plans to roll out more live streaming options soon, starting with unscripted series and stand-up specials. Rock’s live performance is the first the entertainment service has revealed. The live-streamed comedy special will air in 2023.
This will be Rock’s second stand-up special on Netflix since “Chris Rock: Tamborine” 2018. The Emmy-winning comedian also appeared at the comedy festival “Netflix Is a Joke” (Netflix is a joke, in free translation) in early 2022 with Dave Chappelle 🇧🇷
Rock, who was slapped in the face by actor Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars ceremony, said he will discuss his reaction to the incident on the platform’s live set.
“People expect me to talk about the bullshit, I won’t talk about it now,” he said in London during his Ego Death 2022 tour, which ends later this month.
Netflix said it will provide more details on the Rock Live event at a later date.
“Chris Rock is one of the most iconic and important comedic voices of our generation,” said Robbie Praw vice president of comedy and stand-up formats for streaming.
“We are excited for the entire world to be able to attend a Chris Rock live comedy event and be a part of Netflix history. This will be an unforgettable moment and we are so honored that Chris is carrying this torch.”
