The Comedy Cellar is where stand-up specials are made — not recorded, but made. The jokes that appear on Netflix started as rough ideas tested in a 160-seat basement on MacDougal Street. Mint Comedy streams that process live. This page collects the Mint Comedy comedians who have released Netflix specials, with the verified title and context for each.
Comedy Cellar Comedians with Netflix Specials
Jordan Jensen — Take Me With You (Netflix, 2025)
Jordan Jensen released her Netflix debut special Take Me With You in 2025, having previously won “New York’s Funniest Stand Up” in 2021 — the first female comic to do so. Her path from Ithaca, New York to the Comedy Cellar to a Netflix hour is one of the cleaner through-lines in recent stand-up. Jordan’s additional bio and background covers the full trajectory.
Liza Treyger — Night Owl (Netflix, 2025)
Liza Treyger released Night Owl on Netflix in January 2025 — a debut hour that cemented her reputation as one of the more courageous voices working the Comedy Cellar circuit. Her material goes places that require genuine commitment to follow through, and Night Owl is the record of that commitment at full length.
Jeff Ross — Historical Roasts (Netflix)
Jeff Ross, the Roastmaster General, brought his signature form to Netflix with Historical Roasts — a series that applied the roast format to historical figures with a rotating cast of comedians. Ross has been a Comedy Cellar regular for decades, and the historical roast concept is a natural extension of what he does in the room: find the most precise, most affectionate insult possible for whoever is in front of him.
Erin Jackson — Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready (Netflix)
Erin Jackson appeared on Netflix through Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready — the showcase series that gave significant platform time to comedians Haddish personally champions. Jackson has since established herself as one of the most compelling voices on the Comedy Cellar stage, and the Netflix appearance was an early signal of a career that has continued to build.
Marcello Hernandez — American Boy (Netflix, January 2026)
Marcello Hernandez launched his debut Netflix special American Boy in January 2026 — his first hour as a solo headliner, released while he was simultaneously a current SNL cast member. The Cuban-American comedian’s material on the Comedy Cellar stage gave audiences a preview of the special’s themes long before the Netflix release date.
Rosebud Baker — The Mother Lode (Netflix, 2026)
Rosebud Baker released The Mother Lode on Netflix in 2026, following her departure from SNL. The special represents the culmination of material she developed on the Comedy Cellar stage over years — the kind of hour that is only possible after a comedian has lived with the material long enough to know exactly what it is.
Dave Attell — Hot Cross Buns (Netflix, 2026)
Dave Attell is one of the Comedy Cellar’s most durable presences — a comedian whose relationship with the room predates most of the comedians on this list. Hot Cross Buns on Netflix is the latest chapter in a career built almost entirely on the kind of working-room stand-up that the Cellar exemplifies. Attell performing late at the Cellar is something Mint Comedy subscribers encounter regularly.
Andrew Schulz — LIFE (Netflix, 2026)
Andrew Schulz released LIFE on Netflix in 2026, a global rollout that reflected the international audience he built through his podcast and social media presence before the special landed. Schulz represents the newer model of how Comedy Cellar material reaches audiences — the room is one node in a broader content ecosystem, and the Netflix special is the formal distillation.
Mark Normand — Non-Ween (Netflix)
Mark Normand‘s Netflix special Non-Ween captures the voice of one of the most prolific working comedians on the Cellar circuit — a comedian who treats the room as a daily gym, showing up with new material constantly and testing it at a pace most comedians can’t match. The special title, like most of Normand’s work, is funnier the longer you sit with it.
Rachel Feinstein — Big Guy (Netflix, 2026)
Rachel Feinstein released Big Guy on Netflix in 2026, drawing on a performing style that blends character work with personal material in ways that are distinctive even by Comedy Cellar standards. Feinstein’s history with the room is long; the special is the newest public evidence of how that material has developed.
Jeff Arcuri — Fresh Cut (Netflix, 2026)
Jeff Arcuri‘s debut Netflix special Fresh Cut arrived in 2026, the product of years of Comedy Cellar sets that built a reputation among the room’s most attentive regular audience before the wider world caught up. Arcuri’s full bio traces the path from working comedian to Netflix headliner.
Why the Comedy Cellar Produces Netflix Special Material
The Comedy Cellar is not a recording venue. It’s a working room. The specials listed here didn’t get taped at the Cellar — they got made there, joke by joke, set by set, over months and years of performing material in front of an audience that gives unambiguous feedback. The Netflix hour is the end product of a process that began on that stage.
Mint Comedy streams the beginning of that process — the live room where the ideas that eventually become specials are tested for the first time. Watching a comedian on the Cellar stream and then watching their Netflix special is watching the same material at two different points in its development. That context makes both experiences richer.
