Top Comedy TV Shows On Netflix Starring Stand-Up Comedians

Hey Friends! Today, I thought I’d share my favorite TV shows on Netflix starring stand-up comedians. I absolutely love stand-up comedy, and I’ve already shared my favorite stand-up specials from Netflix in another post. But there’s something special about sitcoms, they’re shorter, perfect for a quick break during the day, and ideal for a binge-watch session to lift your spirits when things are tough. Whether you’re having a rough day or just need a good laugh, these shows are sure to brighten your mood.

So, sit back, relax, and let’s dive right in!

Mr. Iglesias

Family | Comedy

Mr. Iglesias is a three-season sitcom on Netflix starring Gabriel Iglesias as Gabe Iglesias. This funny and heartwarming show combines typical sitcom humor with meaningful life lessons in each episode. Set in a high school in California, Gabe Iglesias is a dedicated teacher who works with students from low-income families, tackling the unique challenges they face. Alongside his colleagues, many of whom share similar backgrounds, Gabe aims to help his students learn, grow, and navigate life’s complexities, all while injecting a healthy dose of comedy and a touch of teen drama. The show brilliantly intertwines these elements, making each 20-minute episode a perfect blend of laughter and reflection.

One of the standout features of Mr. Iglesias is its portrayal of the teachers personal lives, highlighting their struggles to find partners and maintain relationships, again presented with plenty of humor. Gabriel Iglesias natural comedic talent shines through, providing a delightful escape after a difficult day or a fun break while eating lunch. His ability to deliver both comedy and heartfelt moments makes the series a unique gem! You can also check out his other stand-up specials on Netflix or his YouTube channel.

Murderville

Comedy | Crime

Murderville Do you enjoy comedy? How about crime? If you love both, Murderville on Netflix is the perfect show for you! This series masterfully blends these two genres into a unique and hilarious experience. I found myself laughing out loud countless times. The show features a stellar lineup of guest stars, including Conan O’Brien, Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, Jim Carrey, and Sharon Stone. Each episode brings a new celebrity guest, who joins the main character, Detective Terry Seattle (played by the always funny Will Arnett), in solving a murder mystery. The twist? The guest star has no script and must improvise their way through the investigation, playing a trainee cop tasked with cracking the case by the end of each half-hour episode.

Murderville is a light-hearted and entertaining series that’s perfect for unwinding after a tough day. With only six episodes in its first season, it’s a quick watch, and the good news is that Netflix has already announced a second season. What truly sets this show apart is the chemistry and enjoyment of the guest stars. They seem to be having a great time, which translates into a delightful viewing experience for the audience. The spontaneity and fun they bring to each episode make Murderville a refreshing and engaging show that you won’t want to miss.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Comedy | Talk-Show

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee hosted by the legendary Jerry Seinfeld, is a must-watch for any comedy enthusiast. Falling under the interview and talk show genres, it’s definitively a comedy at its core. Each episode features Jerry picking up a different guest in a unique, often classic car. The guest list boasts some of the most interesting and hilarious personalities in the industry. My favorites include Louis C.K., Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, and Seth Rogen, true titans of comedy and more. They head to a random café, sip coffee, and engage in conversations that blend work anecdotes with personal stories, making for an incredibly engaging and comforting viewing experience.

Whether you’re a die-hard comedy fan or just looking for something light-hearted to unwind with, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee provides great company and plenty of laughs. With its unique cars and entertaining, humorous conversations, I highly recommend adding this show to your watch list.

The Cabin with Bert Kreischer

Comedy | Reality

The Cabin with Bert Kreischer is a refreshing gem currently on hiatus with only one season and five episodes. Each episode radiates hope and positivity, qualities we all need more of in these crazy times. My favorite is the fourth episode featuring Kaley Cuoco, where the blend of humor and heartfelt moments truly shines. Bert Kreischer embodies the idea that no matter what we’ve done before, we can always strive to be better people. His infectious laughter and genuine interactions make this series a delightful escape.

Bert is a fun guy, and his guests are equally awesome, bringing a mix of hilarity and warmth to each episode. The show is funny and entertaining, and you’re guaranteed to laugh out loud too many times to count. It’s a perfect pick-me-up that showcases Bert’s unique charm and the camaraderie between him and his guests. If you’re looking for something to uplift your spirits and offer a good dose of laughter, The Cabin with Bert Kreischer is a must-watch on Netflix!
