Netflix has revealed that Brian Simpson: Live from the Mothership, the first hour-long special from up-and-coming comedian Brian Simpson, will debut globally on the platform on March 19.
Directed by Baron Vaughn, the special is the first ever to have been shot at The Comedy Mothership, the premier Austin, TX comedy venue owned by Joe Rogan. In it, Simpson covers everything from racism and gun violence to in vitro fertilization and masculinity. He brings the special to Netflix after doing a short set for the streamer’s show The Standups, having also put in an appearance on its comedian showcase That’s My Time With David Letterman.
“Shooting this at The Comedy Mothership was an incredible experience,” Simpson said, “and I can’t wait to share it with a wider audience.”
A former foster child and Marine Corps veteran, Simpson found his calling in L.A.’s comedy scene following his period of service.
