Peretti, who you might recognize from Brooklyn Nine-Nine or as a woman who denies the advances of Louis C.K.’s character in the comedian’s own show Louie, brings a dark, yet silly, “reimagining” of the typical one-hour special. The program, filmed live at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. promises to showcase the comic’s “diverse talents as an actor, standup, writer, and motorcycle enthusiast.”

• Bill Burr – I’m Sorry You Feel That Way – Dec. 5

Burr’s fourth hour-long special will take viewers on a strange ride as the comic escapes a zombie apocalypse via getaway helicopter, explores how romantic comedies run great sex, and points to excessive hugs as “the downfall of man.” Two of Burr’s previous stand-up performances, Let It Go and You People Are All The Same, are currently available for streaming via Netflix.
