Shane Gillis at the Hollywood Bowl – Netflix Is A Joke Fest 2026

Shane Gillis brings his explosive stand-up to the Hollywood Bowl on Monday, May 4, 2026 as part of the massive Netflix Is A Joke Fest. The festival—now the world’s largest comedy event—returns to Los Angeles from May 4–10 with over 350 live shows across 35 venues, and Gillis’s headlining set at the iconic 17,500-seat amphitheater is one of the most anticipated performances of the entire week.

From SNL Controversy to Comedy Superstar

Shane Gillis has become one of the most talked-about comedians in the industry. The Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania native rose to prominence through his Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast—now the most-subscribed podcast on Patreon—and his brutally honest stand-up. After a brief, controversial stint with Saturday Night Live in 2019, Gillis channeled the experience into an incredible career resurgence. His 2023 Netflix special “Beautiful Dogs” reached the Top 10 in five countries and proved his undeniable talent. Then in February 2024, he triumphantly returned to host SNL, delivering one of the season’s highest-rated episodes.

The Tires Phenomenon

Beyond stand-up, Gillis co-created the Netflix hit series Tires, which premiered in May 2024 and became the platform’s most-watched show on its release day. Filmed in West Chester, Pennsylvania, the workplace comedy about a struggling auto repair chain has earned rave reviews and was renewed for Season 3 in July 2025. In January 2026, Gillis and collaborator John McKeever signed an expanded overall deal with Netflix that includes new films, series, and two additional stand-up specials. Production on Season 3 is currently underway.

2025-2026: Shane Gillis’s Biggest Year Yet

Gillis’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. He hosted the 2025 ESPY Awards—the first comedian to emcee since Tracy Morgan in 2019—and starred alongside Peyton Manning and Post Malone in a viral Bud Light Super Bowl LIX commercial. His appearance in the film Easy’s Waltz honors a role originally written for the late Norm Macdonald. With arena tours selling out across the country, the Hollywood Bowl show represents a rare chance to see one of comedy’s biggest acts in an intimate outdoor setting.

Netflix Is A Joke Fest 2026 Lineup

The Netflix Is A Joke Fest has grown into comedy’s most star-studded annual event. The 2026 lineup includes Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David reuniting, Kevin Hart hosting a live comedy competition, John Mulaney at the Hollywood Bowl, Katt Williams at Intuit Dome, and performances from Nikki Glaser, Ali Wong, Bill Burr, Adam Sandler, Jon Stewart, and many more. Shane Gillis’s “Shane Gillis & Friends” show on opening night sets the tone for an unforgettable week of comedy.

The Hollywood Bowl Experience

Gates open 90 minutes before showtime, and fans are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the venue’s famous picnic areas. For this Netflix-leased event, outside alcohol is not permitted, but outside food and factory-sealed non-alcoholic beverages are welcome.
