From Netflix’s trending charts to viral TikToks and global sold-out tours, the most successful comedians on Netflix in 2025 aren’t just making people laugh. They’re redefining what it means to go viral with a microphone. If you’re searching for the top comedians on Netflix 2025 has to offer, this list breaks down who’s dominating the platform right now. You can also browse the full collection of stand-up specials on the Netflix Comedy page.

If you’re looking for the comedians that are actually killing it on Netflix in 2025 — based on streaming data, global buzz, and fan devotion — this is the list. Let’s get into the chart-toppers, record-breakers, and social media darlings currently dominating the Netflix comedy scene.

1. Taylor Tomlinson

Netflix Specials: Quarter-Life Crisis, Look at You, Have It All (2024)

Tomlinson has become the voice of a generation — relatable, neurotic, hilarious. Her 2024 special Have It All debuted in Netflix’s Top 10 across 12+ countries and hit #1 in Canada and the U.S. during launch week. Her comedy about therapy, relationships, and existential dread resonates with viewers under 40 like no one else.

Bonus Stat: She’s the youngest solo comic to chart three times globally on Netflix — and her new late-night show After Midnight only fuels her momentum.

2. Kevin Hart

Netflix Specials: Irresponsible, Zero F**ks Given, Reality Check (2023)

Kevin Hart remains a powerhouse. His 2023 Netflix special Reality Check stayed in the U.S. Top 10 for three straight weeks and was one of the most-streamed comedy releases of the year. Between his global tours, movie appearances, and comedy docuseries, Hart continues to own every screen he touches.

Netflix Impact: He’s the only comedian on this list with a comedy empire — his HartBeat production arm fuels Netflix content beyond stand-up.

3. Ricky Gervais

Netflix Specials: Humanity, SuperNature, Armageddon (2024)

Blunt, divisive, and unapologetically dark, Gervais returned with Armageddon, which topped Netflix UK’s charts and trended heavily in North America. His fearless takes on free speech, cancel culture, and death sparked heated discussions — and massive view counts.

Why He’s Still On Top: Gervais’s specials consistently go viral and inspire think pieces — a combo few others can pull off.

4. Ali Wong

Netflix Specials: Baby Cobra, Hard Knock Wife, Don Wong

Ali Wong’s fame exploded after Beef — and her stand-up specials got a major second wind. Following her Emmy win, Don Wong jumped back into Netflix’s Top 10 in Canada and the U.S. in early 2025. Fans love her brutal honesty about motherhood, relationships, and power dynamics.

What’s Next: A fourth special is rumored for late 2025, possibly her most personal yet.

5. Dave Chappelle

Netflix Specials: Sticks & Stones, The Closer, What’s in a Name?

Few names spark as much conversation as Chappelle. Despite (or because of) ongoing controversy, The Closer remains one of Netflix’s most-watched specials in its history. He blends social commentary with razor-sharp storytelling, and fans still show up in droves.

Worth Noting: Whether you love or loathe his takes, he’s still shaping the conversation in comedy.

6. Nate Bargatze

Netflix Specials: The Tennessee Kid, Greatest Average American, Hello World (2023)

Dubbed “America’s Dad of Stand-Up,” Bargatze’s clean humor and Southern charm have made him a streaming star. Hello World reached the Top 3 in both Netflix U.S. and Canada and remains one of the top rewatched specials of 2023–2024.

Extra Cred: His SNL hosting spot helped launch him into mainstream stardom.

7. Tom Segura

Netflix Specials: Ball Hog, Sledgehammer, Disgraceful

Tom Segura’s sardonic delivery and cult-fan energy continue to grow. His 2023 special Sledgehammer cracked Netflix’s global Top 10 and drove massive ticket sales on his 2024–2025 world tour. Between that and his viral podcast (Your Mom’s House), he’s everywhere.

Social Surge: Segura clips consistently rack up millions of views on TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

8. Hannah Gadsby

Netflix Specials: Nanette, Douglas, Something Special

Still one of the most talked-about names in stand-up, Gadsby’s Nanette redefined what a comedy special could be. In 2023, she returned with Something Special, a lighter but still poignant reflection on love and queerness that trended in Australia, Canada, and the UK.

Culture Impact: No other comic has merged art, trauma, and laughs quite like her.

9. Bo Burnham

Netflix Specials: Inside, Make Happy, what.

Though Bo hasn’t released a new special since 2021, Inside remains one of Netflix’s most-streamed comedy specials of all time. The music, the anxiety, the existential humour — it still hits in 2025.

Numbers Talk: Inside has racked up over 70 million combined views across Netflix and YouTube.

10. Katt Williams

Netflix Specials: World War III, Great America

Unfiltered and explosive, Katt Williams is a social media legend. World War III blew up on Netflix and trended across TikTok and Twitter for weeks. He’s teasing a follow-up special later this year — and fans are ready.

What’s Hot: Clips from his special consistently land on “most shared” lists across Black Twitter and Instagram Reels.

Let’s face it, comedy can be unpredictable. A stand-up set can go from hilarious to headline-making in seconds. While comedians thrive on pushing boundaries, sometimes those boundaries push back, hard. From on-stage meltdowns to viral controversies, here are 10 times comedians found themselves in the spotlight for reasons they definitely didn’t plan. These are the comedians who went viral (for all the wrong reasons).

1. Michael Richards’ Infamous Outburst (2006)

What started as a routine night at the Laugh Factory turned into a PR nightmare. The “Seinfeld” star’s racially charged tirade was caught on camera, going viral before “going viral” was even a term. The backlash? Immediate and brutal.

2. Kathy Griffin’s Trump Photo (2017)

Griffin’s controversial photo holding a fake severed head of Donald Trump cost her major gigs and brand deals. While she defended it as satire, many saw it as a step too far, and the internet did not hold back.

3. Louis C.K.’s Admission (2017)

Known for his raw honesty, Louis C.K. became the subject of widespread outrage when several misconduct allegations surfaced, and he confirmed them. His career took a massive hit, though he’s slowly returned to the stage.

4. Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock (2022)

Not technically a comedy set, but Chris Rock’s joke at the Oscars led to the most viral slap of all time. The aftermath? Thinkpieces, memes, and millions of views — with Rock somehow keeping his cool through it all.

5. Ari Shaffir and the Kobe Bryant Tweet (2020)

Just hours after Bryant’s tragic helicopter crash, Shaffir tweeted an extremely controversial “joke” — and the internet erupted. Even his fans were divided, with many calling it tasteless and career-damaging.

6. Dave Chappelle and the Transphobia Debate (2021)

Chappelle’s Netflix special “The Closer” sparked global headlines, protests, and walkouts at Netflix. While some hailed it as fearless, others criticized it as punching down. It became a cultural lightning rod for months.

7. Andrew Schulz’s Crowd Work Gets Dark (2023)

Schulz is famous for bold crowd work, but one moment involving an audience member’s trauma crossed a line for many online viewers. Clips went viral with mixed reactions: half shocked, half laughing uncomfortably.

8. Jo Koy’s Golden Globes Monologue (2024)

Jo Koy had the hosting gig of a lifetime… and bombed in front of Hollywood’s elite. His jokes fell flat, social media roasted him, and the cringe was palpable. Still, it got people talking.

9. Shane Gillis’s SNL Firing (2019)

Gillis was hired — and fired — by Saturday Night Live in the same week. Old podcast clips with offensive jokes resurfaced, and before he could even take the stage, he was out. It lit up Twitter for days.

10. Tiffany Haddish & Aries Spears Lawsuit (2022)

Haddish and Spears faced a disturbing lawsuit related to a past comedy sketch. Though the case was later dismissed, the backlash was instant. For a moment, it overshadowed everything else they were working on.

Why This Matters (and What Comedians Who Went Viral Teach Us)

Comedy is powerful — but risky. These viral moments show how quickly things can spiral, especially in the age of social media. They also remind us that comedians walk a tightrope between funny and offensive, and sometimes, the fall is public.

But hey, controversy or not, people are still watching, sharing, and debating. And at Comedyville, we prefer laughs without the lawsuits.

9. Dulcé Sloan

A standout from The Daily Show, Dulcé’s presence on stage is fierce and unforgettable. She’s building buzz for her new hour, mixing political jabs and personal stories with pure comic force.

10. Shane Gillis

Banned by SNL, but beloved on YouTube — Shane Gillis had one of the most talked-about specials last year. Now he’s headlining bigger venues and gaining industry respect, all while staying true to his raw, blue-collar humour.

The post Top 10 Funniest Stand-Up Comedy Specials of 2025 appeared first on Comedy Club in Montreal - Comedyville.

When you come to one of our Montreal stand-up comedy shows, you never know what kind of rising star might be on the lineup. Every famous comedian started somewhere small, and some of them turned that talent into massive careers and fortunes.

So, who’s at the top of the comedy game right now? Here are the highest-paid stand-up comedians in 2025, based on recent tours, specials, endorsements, and side projects.

1. Kevin Hart

Still at the top of his game, Kevin Hart continues to sell out arenas worldwide. His recent Netflix specials and global “Reality Check” tour helped him earn an estimated $70 million in 2025 alone. Add his comedy production company and brand deals, and he remains one of comedy’s biggest names.

2. Dave Chappelle

With selective touring and premium ticket prices, Chappelle continues to command top dollar. In 2025, he brought in an estimated $55 million, thanks to his intimate theatre shows and licensing deals with streaming platforms.

3. Sebastian Maniscalco

The observational king of comedy has gone mainstream. With major tours, a growing film career, and Vegas residencies, Maniscalco pulled in roughly $50 million this year — not bad for someone who once waited tables between gigs.

4. Trevor Noah

After leaving The Daily Show, Trevor Noah’s global stand-up career skyrocketed. Touring across continents, doing multi-language sets, and writing bestsellers, he earned an estimated $40 million in 2025, solidifying his place on the world stage.

5. Ricky Gervais

Gervais’s dark humour and streaming success keep his wallet full. His 2025 Netflix special “Armageddon II” was one of the year’s most-watched comedy events. Total estimated earnings: $35 million.

6. Ali Wong

A powerhouse performer and actor, Wong had a busy year, from selling out theatres across North America to starring in major films. She reportedly made $30 million in 2025, proving you can mix edgy comedy with mass appeal.

7. Tom Segura

His worldwide tour “Come Together” helped make 2025 his biggest year yet. Segura’s massive podcasting network and sellout shows brought in an estimated $28 million, making him one of the most bankable acts in comedy.

8. Amy Schumer

With a fresh HBO special, comedy tour, and several high-profile hosting gigs, Schumer had a strong 2025. Her estimated earnings? Around $25 million, with more projects already lined up.

9. Jim Gaffigan

Clean, clever, and incredibly consistent, Gaffigan remains a touring machine. With over 100 shows in 2025 and a growing presence on Amazon Prime, he pulled in roughly $22 million this year.

10. Andrew Schulz

The crowdwork king and YouTube phenom cashed in big this year. Schulz’s self-produced specials, sold-out international tour, and revenue from podcasting pushed him to an estimated $20 million in 2025 — a massive leap from just a few years ago.

Montreal is one of the most exciting and culturally rich cities in North America. But let’s be honest—between the food tours, museum passes, and overpriced cocktails in Old Montreal, it’s easy for tourists to blow through their budget in a day or two. If you’re looking for cheap things to do in Montreal that still offer real value, local flavour, and authentic fun, skip the tourist traps and spend a night where the locals go to laugh: Comedyville — Montreal’s stand-up comedy destination.

A Live Comedy Show in Montreal You’ll Remember

You might expect a budget-friendly activity to feel… well, basic. But stand-up comedy at Comedyville is anything but.

This isn’t some amateur night or cheesy tourist gig. This is real, pro-level stand-up comedy in English, with performers from Montreal, Toronto, New York, and beyond. It’s sharp, smart, and relatable — and because every show includes fresh lineups and live crowd work, no two nights are the same.

You’ll hear hilarious takes on:

• Montreal life and language

• Travel fails and culture shocks

• Dating disasters and family weirdness

• And yes — a few jokes about snow, poutine, and parking tickets

It’s Montreal stand-up comedy at its finest — and all without the steep ticket prices you’d find at big festivals or concert halls.

Cheap Things to Do in Montreal: Comedy Shows That Are Easy on the Wallet, Heavy on the Laughs

Montreal has no shortage of nightlife options, but very few offer the same bang-for-your-buck as a comedy club experience.

At Comedyville:

• Tickets are affordable, especially compared to concerts or theatre

• Drinks and snacks are available on-site, so there’s no need to overspend elsewhere

• You get 70+ minutes of live entertainment in a cozy, intimate venue that brings you close to the action

It’s a night out that feels premium, without the premium price tag.

The Real Montreal, Not the Overpriced Version

Sure, you can visit the tourist hot spots. But if you want to say you experienced the real Montreal, go to a comedy club.

Comedyville gives you an inside look at the city’s unique humor, culture, and bilingual charm, all in one night. You’ll laugh with (and sometimes at) the quirks that make this place what it is. It’s like a cultural crash course… with a drink in hand.

Want to connect with locals?
Find a way to escape the tourist crowds?
Craving a night out that doesn’t feel staged?

If you’re visiting Montreal, you don’t want to travel far or deal with unfamiliar neighbourhoods at night. Comedyville is located inside Central Station, in the heart of downtown — and right where you’re probably already staying.

That means:

• Direct access to Metro, REM, and train lines

But there’s one thing that often flies under the radar — and yet might just become the highlight of your entire trip:

Live stand-up comedy.

Specifically, a show at Comedyville, one of the city’s best-kept secrets for local laughs and late-night energy.

If you’re searching for things to do in Montreal for tourists that go beyond the usual attractions, here’s why adding a stand-up show to your itinerary is a smart (and unforgettable) move.

It’s a Window into Real Montreal Culture

Museums are great. Food tours are delicious. But want to know what Montrealers are really like? Sit in the back row of a local comedy club.

Montreal is a multicultural, multilingual, sometimes chaotic city, and that energy is alive on stage. Comedyville’s shows reflect what life here is really like: fast-paced, funny, smart, and full of unexpected twists.

The comics come from all walks of life — locals, immigrants, bilinguals, visitors-turned-residents — and their stories, accents, and jokes reflect the actual heartbeat of the city. You won’t get that in a walking tour.

Montreal Comedy Is Bilingual, Bold, and Brilliant

You might already know that Montreal is home to the Just For Laughs Festival, the largest comedy festival in the world. But even outside festival season, the comedy scene thrives — especially in cozy venues like one of Montreal’s English comedy clubs, Comedyville.

At Comedyville, you’ll hear a wide range of material:

• Observational humour about Montreal life

• Jokes about language mishaps and cultural contrasts

• Relationship disasters, Tinder trauma, and family feuds

• Crowd work that’s fast, sharp, and (sometimes) savage — in the best way

Even if you’re not from here, the stories are instantly relatable, and the laughs are very real.

Centrally Located (And Easy to Find)

When you’re visiting a new city, convenience is everything.

Comedyville is located inside the Deli Planet restaurant at Montreal Central Station, right downtown. That means no need to navigate unfamiliar metro lines or catch a late-night cab. If you’re staying near Old Montreal, downtown, or near any major hotel, you’re already within walking distance. There are a lot of things to do in Montreal for tourists.

It’s the perfect place to wind down after a day of sightseeing, shopping, or snow dodging.

Dinner and Drinks? That’s Covered Too.

You don’t need to book a separate reservation or stress about your timing. Since Comedyville is hosted inside a resto-bar, you can:

• Order food before or during the show

• Grab a cocktail, beer, or mocktail

• Eat, laugh, and hang out — all in the same space

No rushing. No back-to-back bookings. Just a relaxed, local night out.

Budget-Friendly (Without Feeling “Cheap”)

Montreal has its pricey side, especially when you’re eating out three times a day or trying to hit every museum. Comedyville gives you a full night of entertainment for a fraction of the cost of a typical dinner-and-show combo.

And the value? It’s not just about saving money, it’s about having an experience that actually sticks with you.

We’ve had tourists tell us their night at Comedyville was “better than anything in the guidebook.” That’s the energy we’re going for.

It’s a Social Experience (Even If You Don’t Know Anyone)

Comedy is universal, and when you’re in a room full of people laughing together, something shifts. Whether you’re travelling with friends, a partner, or flying solo, a stand-up show gives you a chance to feel part of something local.

• Solo traveller? Sit back with a drink and enjoy the show — no awkward stares.

• On a couple’s getaway? This is the Montreal date night move.

• Visiting with friends? Comedy + cocktails = legendary night out.

The vibe is cozy, casual, and open. You won’t feel like an outsider, you’ll feel like you’re in on the joke.

What Visitors Are Saying

Still not sure? Here’s what actual tourists have said about their Comedyville experience:

“We were visiting from Toronto and ended up laughing all night. Way better than any bar we went to.”

“Our hotel concierge recommended Comedyville, and it ended up being our favorite night in Montreal.”

“It felt like we found something locals actually go to — not just a tourist trap.”

Make Comedy a Stop on Your Montreal Trip

In a city famous for food and festivals, stand-up might not be the first thing on your list — but once you’ve been, it’s hard to imagine visiting without it.

So while you’re planning out your museum visits, hikes up Mount Royal, or café crawls, save a night for something fun, different, and genuinely memorable.

If you’re stuck in the classic “dinner and…?” debate, you’re not alone. Whether you’re swiping right for the first time, rekindling something real, or just looking for a low-pressure night out, Montreal has a secret weapon in its nightlife scene: stand-up comedy.

When it comes to date night ideas in Montreal, live comedy checks all the boxes — fun, unique, affordable, and best of all, genuinely memorable. Here’s why comedy is more than just a laugh — it’s a brilliant way to connect.

Laughter Is the Ultimate Icebreaker

There’s no faster way to bond than by laughing together, especially at jokes that hit close to home. Shared laughter creates emotional chemistry, lowers tension, and lets people drop their guard without even realizing it.

If you’re on a first date, it smooths over awkward silences. If you’ve been together for years, it breaks you out of the routine. And if you’re somewhere in between, it just feels right.

At Comedyville, our comedians dig into relationships, dating culture, cultural quirks, and everyday absurdities — so whether you’re sipping wine or whisper-laughing in the back row, you’ll feel more connected by the end of the night.

Way More Fun Than “Just Dinner”

Let’s face it: Montreal has amazing restaurants, but every couple eventually hits a wall with “where should we eat?”

Stand-up comedy adds something special to your evening. You still get food and drinks (Comedyville is located inside a casual resto-bar), but instead of awkward silences or overthinking your outfit, you’re actually having fun together.

There’s no need to fill every moment with conversation. The comedians do the work, and you get to just sit back, laugh, and vibe. It’s low-maintenance, high-reward dating.

Ideal for First Dates, Anniversaries, and “Let’s Do Something Different” Nights

What makes comedy such a versatile date idea? It works for literally every stage of a relationship.

• First date? It’s fun without pressure. You’re not stuck staring across the table with nothing to say.

• New relationship? You’ll learn a lot about each other based on what you laugh at (and what you don’t).

• Long-term couple? Shake things up. Laughing together reignites chemistry and feels better than scrolling Netflix in sweatpants.

Plus, it’s an easy way to show effort without overthinking it. It says, “I planned something fun,” without needing to overplan.

Why Comedyville Is a Montreal Date Night Favourite

Comedyville isn’t just a comedy club — it’s a Montreal date night gem. Here’s why locals and visitors alike love it:

• Top-tier comedians from Montreal, Toronto, and New York

• Food and drinks available onsite inside Deli Planet

• Intimate venue — dim lights, brick walls, warm vibes

• Lots of audience interaction — perfect for couples who like playful energy

• Super central location — inside Montreal’s Central Station (REM + Metro access)

• Affordable ticket prices — a full night out for less than dinner and wine

You can grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy a night of laughter without ever leaving the building.

Conversation Comes Naturally After the Show

Worried about “what to talk about after”? You won’t need to. Comedy shows are built-in conversation starters.

You’ll leave talking about your favourite comic, that wild audience moment, or the bit that made you snort. You might even leave quoting jokes the rest of the night. It’s the kind of date that lingers — in the best way.

And if you’re lucky? You’ll both get gently roasted and have your moment in the spotlight (with a drink in hand, of course).

Ready to Laugh Together?
