Concluding the run of stand-up specials recorded at Netflix’s first big stand-up comedy festival in Los Angeles earlier this year is the addition of a compilation episode today (which comes much later than originally billed).
As you can see above, it features segments from some of the biggest names to feature at the festival.
Netflix has now released eight specials (not including this compilation) from the event.
That includes:

Umma (2022)
Genre: Drama, Horror, Mystery

Runtime: 83 min
At the last second, Netflix pulled the Sony movie Uncharted from its July 15th release date to instead now release it in August 2022. Another title that was no longer on Netflix’s schedule was Umma, but when Saturday rolled around, we did actually get the Sandra Oh horror movie which was released earlier in the year.
Here’s what you can expect from the horror:
“Living a quiet life on a farm with her daughter, a woman must confront her past when the remains of her estranged mother arrive from Korea.”
