Rock’s Tamborine comedy special premiered on Netflix in 2018. His career includes other stand-up presentations such as HBO’s Bring the Pain (1996), Bigger & Blacker (1999), and Kill the Messenger (2008).
Fellow comedian Bo Burnham directed Tamborine. A “remix” of the show arrived on Netflix in January 2021. Chris Rock Total Blackout: The Tamborine Extended Cut included interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
Rock took part in the Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival earlier this year. His forthcoming comedy special is set to premiere in early 2023. Netflix will provide additional details about the event in the coming weeks.
