LIFE on Netflix: A Global Comedy Event
Andrew Schulz’s Netflix hour special LIFE didn’t just perform well – it became a global comedy event. The special spent 15 straight days in the Netflix U.S. Top 10 after its March 2025 premiere and landed in the Top 10 across 13 different countries. For a comedian who built his audience independently through YouTube and the Flagrant podcast before any major network deal, that kind of international reach confirmed what his fans already knew: Schulz operates at a different scale.
The hour showcases everything that makes Schulz one of the most dynamic live performers working today – rapid-fire punchlines, fearless crowd work, and the kind of social commentary that treats no topic as off-limits. It’s the culmination of years of arena-tested material refined through relentless touring and his signature approach of dropping clips directly to his audience.

The 2026 Tour: Bigger Venues, New Material
Schulz isn’t coasting on the Netflix momentum – he’s building on it. His 2026 tour is already rolling with dates across major North American cities, and the format is pure stand-up: a support opener, a short changeover, then 70 to 90 minutes of Schulz headlining with brand-new material. No greatest-hits set. The hour is being built nightly, refined through club testing in late 2025 and now stress-tested in theaters and performing arts centers.
The 2026 routing includes upgrades from theaters to larger venues in select markets, first-time city debuts, and enhanced production. Dates span Thursday through Sunday with 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM shows – the kind of scheduling that signals consistent demand. Stops include Providence, Halifax, Nashville, and multiple Canadian cities, with international dates expected to follow.
Netflix Is A Joke Festival: May 8, 2026
Schulz is confirmed for the Netflix Is A Joke Festival 2026, the largest comedy event in history, running May 4-10 across more than 45 venues in Los Angeles. His set is scheduled for May 8 alongside a lineup of over 240 artists and 165+ shows. The festival takes over the Hollywood Bowl, Greek Theatre, Intuit Dome, Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, and Hollywood Improv – and Schulz performing there puts him in the conversation with the biggest names in comedy on the biggest stage the industry has to offer.
From YouTube to Global Arena Headliner
What makes the Schulz trajectory remarkable is the path. He didn’t wait for a network to anoint him. He built Flagrant into one of the most-listened-to comedy podcasts in the world, self-released specials on YouTube that racked up tens of millions of views, and turned crowd work clips into a content engine that most comedians still can’t replicate. The Netflix deal came after he’d already proven the audience existed – and LIFE proved it to the mainstream.
For fans who’ve followed Schulz since the early YouTube days, the 2026 run is the victory lap that doesn’t feel like a victory lap. It feels like the next chapter. And if the new material being tested on tour is any indication, there’s another special brewing.
