As a seasoned cinema enthusiast with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest news in the entertainment industry is nothing short of exhilarating! The forthcoming special from Chris Distefano, titled “It’s Just Unfortunate,” promises to be another gem in his already impressive comedy repertoire. With executive production by none other than Jimmy Kimmel, this hour-long stand-up is bound to leave us gasping for air from laughter!
Chris Distefano’s next comedy special, titled “It’s Just Unfortunate,” has been acquired by Hulu. This new hour-long stand-up show will debut under Hulu’s freshly minted comedy brand, “Hularious.” In the United States, you can catch it on Hulu, while viewers outside the U.S. can find it on Disney+. Notably, Jimmy Kimmel is overseeing the production of this special for Kimmelot.
Currently, there’s no confirmed release date for “It’s Just Unfortunate.” Recently, Hulu has been on a comedy special buying spree, expanding their “Hularious” lineup, as well as acquiring new programs from undisclosed sources, along with comedy acts by Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Ilana Glazer, Roy Wood Jr., Atsuko Okatsuka and Jessica Kirson.
Hulu will offer a specially selected set of well-known stand-up comedy specials from licensed sources, such as “800 Pound Gorilla,” “Comedy Dynamics,” and “Don’t Tell Comedy.
In the year 2023, Distefano managed to fill up both Radio City Music Hall and The Theater at Madison Square Garden for two straight nights. His debut special “Size 38 Waist” was aired on Comedy Central back in 2019, followed by his second special “Speshy Weshy” on Netflix in 2022. His upcoming work is titled “It’s Just Unfortunate.
