Netflix Unveils Netflix Is a Joke Fest 2026 with Jon Stewart, Nate Bargatze, John Mulaney, Tons More

Netflix has announced the stacked lineup for Netflix Is a Joke Fest 2026 headlined by Jon Stewart, Nate Bargatze, John Mulaney, and the largest Spanish language comedy show ever to be held at the Hollywood Bowl. Netflix’s flagship live comedy event will also include a tribute to Pee-Wee Herman and the reunion — for the first time in eight years — of Flight of the Conchords.

Netflix Is a Joke Fest will set up in 35 venues around Los Angeles, including the Hollywood Bowl, The Greek Theater, the Intuit Dome, The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, and Hollywood IMPROV. Jon Stewart hosts The Night of Too Many Stars, with excessive A-listers include Bill Burr, Conan O’Brien, Steve Carell, Ron Funches, Nikki Glaser, Tiffany Haddish, Jimmy Kimmel, Leanne Morgan, John Mulaney, Bob Odenkirk, Matt Rife, Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, and Ali Wong. This year’s lineup benefits the organization NEXT for Autism.

Besides that, Kevin Hart will also host Funny AF with Kevin Hart, billed as “the search for the world’s next funniest comedian.” This will begin streaming on the admittedly-still-funny date of April 20th. Nate Bargatze plays the Intuit Dome to film his next Netflix special, John Mulaney and pals return for the third-year running for Mister Whatever, and Shane Gillis and Friends will take over the Hollywood Bowl.

Seth Rogen fundraises for Hilarity for Charity with Seth Goes Greek, supported by Eric André, Nikki Glaser, Stavros Halkias, Nick Kroll, Sarah Silverman, Taylor Tomlinson, and surprise musical guests. Elsewhere, Ken Jeong hosts the Los Angeles Dodgers for Dodgers Comedy Night.

Perhaps bigger and más grande than all that is the blockbuster Spanish-language Hollywood Bowl takeover, including Latin music superstar Feid, breakout stand-up star Marcello Hernández, and more.

Jelly Roll and Katt Williams will MC their own programming blocks, and Nick Canon will play “Wild ‘n Out.” Featured podcasts with Netflix Is a Joke Fest will come from David Letterman, Bill Simmons, Pete Davidson, Barstool, and a few conservative-aligned personalities such as Theo Von and Kill Tony, plus a 10-ish year reunion of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
