“Letting loose with a goblet of frosé in hand, she delivers a dynamic hour of comedy that delves into parenthood, cultural difference, and the overlooked value of short men,” Netflix said in a statement. “Her refreshingly honest approach reminds us to appreciate government workers named Otis and, most importantly, that character counts.”

The multi-talented beauty, who is known for her stints on Key & Peele and Broad City, is sure to have a ton of real-life content to pull from to get us laughing again. Considering she has had to endure the coronavirus pandemic as a mother of twins, we can’t imagine what tales she’s ready to tell.

Netflix has enjoyed a ton of success when it comes to their comedy content. Aside from They Ready, several of their other comedy specials earned Emmy nods this year. Tiffany Haddish: Black Mitsvah earned a nod for Best Variety Special and Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones was nominated in three categories.  

Their latest standup special, Sam Jay: 3 in the Morning, debuted on the streamer on August 4 and it’s certainly worth a watch. 

Michelle Buteau: Welcome to Buteaupia premieres September 29 on Netflix.
