Finding new stand-up comedy specials on Amazon Prime can be challenging without a proper hub page. Searching for stand-up comedy will land you a random assortment of specials from years ago. But the main reason it’s hard to find new specials is that there aren’t very many created for Prime Video itself. Even the latest addition, Craig Ferguson: I’m So Happy, was independently released last year.
Zakir Khan: Delulu Express was released more recently, and it’s an amusing diversion as well. But most of the specials on Prime Video are past their expiration dates. That’s why we’ve narrowed the focus of the best stand-up comedy on Amazon Prime right now to the ones most worthy of your time.

Craig Ferguson: I'm So Happy (2024)
55m Genre Comedy Stars Craig Ferguson Directed by Edwin Licona, Adolfo Nowak Watch on Amazon Why is former late-night TV host Craig Ferguson so happy in his stand-up special, I’m So Happy? Ferguson has faced numerous health setbacks in the last few years, and he feels right at home when he’s back on stage and playing to a large crowd. For this special, Ferguson leans into his natural storytelling abilities as he revisits his time as a talk show host, some embarrassing foreign gaffes, and other tales that may make you laugh or cringe. Or possibly both at the same time.
Zakir Khan: Delulu Express (2025)
94m Genre Comedy Stars Zakir Khan Directed by Karan Asnani Watch on Amazon How well do you remember the longest day of your life? Zakir Khan has vivid memories of his, and he’s sharing all of the details in his latest special, Delulu Express.
A lot of Khan’s material revolves around his personal history of friendships and former lovers, as well as landing and leaving his first jobs. But there’s something very compelling about the way he relates these tales.

Some comedians have to go through their entire careers before they find half the success that Jenny Slate has already had. As the name of the special states, Slate is a “seasoned professional,” but there are still plenty of things she struggles with.
That makes for good — if sometimes erratic — material as she describes the way her life has been changed by her relationship with her second husband and their child, while also navigating the weirdness of the pandemic. Not everything hits the same way, but Slate’s comedy depends upon whether you like her personality. If you’re a fan of her style, you will love this.
The World According to Kaleb - On Tour (2024)
It may surprise some viewers to learn that Kaleb Cooper really is a farmer, and his stint on Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm isn’t an act. Cooper has parlayed his appearances on that show to launch his own comedy career, including his sold-out UK tour under the banner “The World According to Kaleb.”
For his first-ever comedy special, Cooper talks about his experiences with Cooper, life on the farm, and the one farm animal that he’s not particularly fond of. There may also be a musical number in there somewhere.
Garrett Gunderson: The American Ream (2024)
45m Genre Comedy Stars Garrett Gunderson Directed by Weston Childers, Marcus Raboy Watch on Amazon Everybody has their own personal blend of comedy, but in his latest special, Garrett Gunderson’s angle is money, how it works, and why you’re not getting enough of it. Garrett Gunderson: The American Ream isn’t called The American Dream for a good reason. Nobody loves to be taken advantage of from behind, to say that as politely as possible.
Gunderson mines comedy from informative insights into retirement funds, Wall Street trading, and cryptocurrency. And if you find the picture he paints to be depressing, at least you can laugh at the jokes while he’s painting.
Nick Swardson: Make Joke from Face (2024)
Nick Swardson is getting older, so he’s taking some time to reflect on his life and some of his best diarrhea jokes. And if you don’t like scatological humor, then why would you watch Nick Swardson’s comedy in the first place? It’s kind of his thing.
It’s not like Swardson can’t have some heartfelt moments, as exemplified when he speaks about his late friend, Norm McDonald. But he’d rather make an audience laugh, and he especially seems to love getting himself to laugh along with the crowd as he relates some shared experiences that everyone goes through when they age.
Sam Morril: You've Changed (2024)
The name of Sam Morril’s latest comedy special, You’ve Changed, does get explained in the course of the hour, as one of his critics reemerges from the past… in shall we say a very different way. Morril’s argument is if they can change that much, then so can he. Morril also shares a string of texts from his ex that might be considered Baby Reindeer-adjacent, although it never quite goes as far as Netflix’s show.
Morril isn’t breaking new comedy ground by making jokes about his sex life, bad dating partners, or getting older. But he knows how to tell a story and how to take back command of the room whenever any hecklers try to get a word in edgewise.
Marlon Wayans: Good Grief (2024)
For his latest comedy special, Good Grief, Marlon Wayans mines the deaths of his parents for some dark humor. But you may not be prepared for the level of detail that Wayans goes into about taking care of his mother late in her life. There’s some deeply unsettling things he describes about her that simply aren’t funny.
The things that are funny are about Wayans’ upbringing, and his theory about why his father was a Jehovah’s Witness. However, the most profound part of this special is the way Wayans uses his humor to deal with not only his grief for his parents but all of the other people in his life that he’s lost as well.
Subhah Agarwal: Airport Pigeon (2024)
Subhah Agarwal has a way of letting the audience laugh with her and at her while describing her ongoing struggles with her mental health in her comedy special, Airport Pigeons. It’s particularly funny when she recounts how she’s been bullied by children as an adult, but she explains how it happens. She also finds a way to bring up Stephen Hawking’s love life and uses his own documented affairs to bring the humor out of his situation as well.
Joel McHale: Live from Pyongyang (2019)
Trevor Wallace: Pterodactyl (2023)
Kevin James: Irregardless (2024)
60m Genre Comedy Stars Kevin James Watch on Amazon We’re betting that most of the media-consuming world knows Kevin James from a little show called The King of Queens. Another chunk of humanity may know him from films like Grown Ups with Adam Sandler (Hustle) and Paul Blart: Mall Cop co-starring a Segway. Whatever show or movie you know him from, we’d like to draw your attention to the goofball’s latest stand-up special: Irregardless. Mr. James isn’t here to push the envelope per se, and that’s OK in our book! If you’re in the mood for some family-friendly fun, or you’d like your kids to experience their first stand-up special, Irregardless is the perfect Kevin James tour de force to indulge in. Hank Chen: I'm Not Supposed to Be Here (2023)
60m Genre Comedy Stars Hank Chen Directed by Brian Volk-Weiss Watch on Amazon Not many stand-up comics can say they’ve taken the stage merely six hours after being in a car accident, but such is the case for Hank Chan. The performer’s debut special is called I’m Not Supposed to Be Here, and Chen proves to be a fireball of comedic genius . Everything from dictatorships to family life gets roasted in this blistering hour. Russell Peters: Deported (2020)
Nate Bargatze: Hello World (2023)
Zarna Garg: One in a Billion (2023)
Kellen Erskine: Zoomed Out (2022)
Sebastian Live (2009)
63m Genre Comedy Stars Sebastian Maniscalco Directed by Manny Rodriguez Watch on Amazon Sebastian Maniscalco is the kind of comedic talent who isn’t afraid to shine a light on the many idiosyncrasies of humanity, and if his stand-up special Sebastian LIVE is to be believed, our species has plenty of quirks to poke fun at.
the special was filmed at the prestigious Paramount Theatre in St. Louis, and if you’re in the mood for the kind of observational humor that will have you rolling around on the floor in laughter, look no further than Mr. Maniscalco.
Jim Gaffigan: Noble Ape (2018)
67m Genre Comedy Stars Jim Gaffigan Directed by Jeannie Gaffigan Watch on Amazon You don’t get into our comedy roundup twice unless you’re really funny, but it should come as no surprise that Jim Gaffigan gets a second shout-out. In his 2018 special Jim Gaffigan: Noble Ape, the renowned talent (he starred in the wonderful Linoleum earlier this year) gets a bit more personal, incorporating his wife’s harrowing run-in with cancer into the show.
It’s a bold decision on Gaffigan’s behalf, but it’s a mature call that serves to remind us that life may throw a million wrenches our way, but sometimes all we can do is snicker as the projectiles fly toward us.
Jim Breuer: And Laughter for All (2013)
r 58m Genre Comedy Stars Jim Breuer Directed by Jay Chapman Watch on Amazon Jim Breuer is an unchained force to be reckoned with in the outrageous 2013 stand-up special, Jim Breuer: And Laughter for All. Originally produced for Epix, Jim ditches the Goat Boy threads in favor of something a bit more rooted but equally off-the-charts.
Exploring topics of fatherhood, modern suburbia, and teen-year antics, Breuer’s approach may be unrelenting, but fans of his style know exactly what they’re signing up for.
George Carlin: Life Is Worth Losing (2005)
r 74m Genre Comedy, TV Movie Stars George Carlin Directed by Rocco Urbisci Watch on Amazon One of the O.G. titans of stand-up, the late-great George Carlin left far more than your traditional mark on the entertainment world. A constantly called-upon influence for today’s leading comic legends, the man’s talents are on full-display in George Carlin: Life is Worth Losing. Jam-packed with Carlin’s rapid-fire and astute commentary on the continually-crumbling Planet Earth, this humorously bleak eulogizing remains as relevant today as the maestro’s words were nearly 20 years ago.
Iain Stirling Failing Upwards (2022)
Cocoa Brown: Famous Enough (2022)
53m Genre Comedy Stars Cocoa Brown Directed by Brian Volk-Weiss Watch on Amazon Cocoa Brown may not be famous enough to have her own Wikipedia page (yet), but she is famous enough to have her own stand-up special on Amazon Prime Video. In her set, Brown speaks on dating and parenting during Covid, as well as double standards in the dating world and family drama. The special was filmed in New York City and marks Brown’s stand-up debut. Viewers may recognize Brown from Never Have I Ever and Tyler Perry’s Single Moms Club. Eddie Izzard: Wunderbar (2021)

An ambitious new series that leans heavily on artificial intelligence and carries the name of renowned filmmaker Darren Aronofsky is facing a barrage of negative responses from critics and viewers alike. The short-form series On This Day… 1776, produced by Aronofsky’s AI-focused studio Primordial Soup in partnership with Google DeepMind, TIME Studios, and Salesforce, was meant to be a groundbreaking use of generative AI to dramatize moments from the American Revolutionary War. Instead, it has become a flashpoint in the ongoing debate over AI’s role in creative industries.
Released on Time’s YouTube channel late January

Amazon is moving to bring artificial intelligence deeper into the way movies and TV shows are made, aiming to speed up production and reduce costs at its MGM Studio unit. The company plans to use AI tools across the creative process, even as Hollywood remains cautious of the technology's potential impact on jobs and industry practices.
According to Reuters, Albert Cheng is leading a small team at what Amazon calls its "AI Studio," focused on building proprietary tools to streamline everything from pre-production planning to post-production editing. In an interview, Cheng said the main goal of the AI Studio is to cut costs and improve creative workflows, while keeping writers, directors, actors, and other creative professionals involved at every step.
