Things shifted when Funny AF launched on April 20th. The show features 44 comedians competing for approval from judges like Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani, Tom Segura, Chelsea Handler, and Keegan-Michael Key. It’s created a real event around stand-up comedy, which is unusual these days, and comedian Shane Taylor has been gaining fans throughout the competition. He easily made it to the semifinals and finals, which were broadcast live on Netflix May 4th and 5th as part of the Netflix Is a Joke festival.

But the show isn’t just carried by the actor’s performance – the acting, production quality, and writing are all excellent. I was surprised to see very little discussion about it online, so I decided to check its social media presence.
