Netflix announced in November that it had signed a blockbuster deal with Chappelle to headline three stand-up specials. The Age of Spin: Dave Chappelle Live at the Hollywood Palladium and Deep in the Heart of Texas: Dave Chappelle Live at Austin City Limits debuted on Netflix earlier this year. Dave Chappelle: Equanimity which takes on Trump voters was already set to launch Dec. 31. Now, that will be joined by Dave Chappelle: The Bird Revelation. Equanimity was filmed in September at the Warner Theater in Washington, D.C.; The Bird Revelation was filmed Nov. 20 at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. (Watch a promo for the latter, below.)

The deal expands Chappelle's relationship with Netflix, where his original deal included three specials. Netflix has continued to invest heavily in building its stand-up comedy library, inking deals with stars like Chris Rock ($20 million each for two specials) as it competes with comedy heavyweights HBO and Comedy Central.

For Chappelle, meanwhile, the second New Year's Eve stand-up special will arrive as Comedy Central has planned a daylong New Year's Day Chappelle's Show marathon in which it will air all 28 episodes leading up his seminal 2000 HBO stand-up special Killin' Them Softly.

fuck yea. Netflix is smart in pursuing good comics for specials like this. stand up comedy has never been more popular.

This pleases me.
