Chris Rock will star in Netflix’s first-ever livestreamed comedy show in March

LA Times  

Netflix helped bring streaming content to the world. A Chris Rock comedy special titled “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage” will be “the first-ever Netflix live streamed global event,” Netflix announced Sunday. Netflix has already been expanding its footprint in the live comedy world, holding its Netflix Is a Joke festival in Los Angeles in April. The special is Rock’s first since 2018’s “Tamborine,” which is also featured on Netflix. Rock has been busy touring over the last year, with the infamous Will Smith “slap” at the Oscars thought to be boosting his ticket sales.
