Netflix has officially revealed the lineup for Kevin Hart’s new comedy competition series, Funny AF, along with a high‑energy trailer showcasing the rising comics set to battle for the top spot. The series marks Hart’s latest collaboration with the streamer as he continues expanding his footprint in unscripted entertainment.
The newly announced contestants represent a mix of stand‑up veterans, viral sensations, and fresh faces from comedy clubs across the country. Each will compete in a series of challenges designed to test their timing, originality, and ability to win over both the judges and the audience.
The trailer teases rapid‑fire sets, behind‑the‑scenes tension, and Hart offering both mentorship and his signature tough‑love humor.
Funny AF blends traditional stand‑up with reality‑competition elements. Contestants face themed challenges, perform in front of live crowds, and receive feedback from Hart and a rotating panel of guest judges. Only one comic will walk away with the title — and a career‑boosting prize package.
The series continues Hart’s growing partnership with Netflix, which already includes stand‑up specials, films, and his Hartbeat‑produced projects. With Funny AF, he shifts the spotlight to the next generation of comedians, positioning the show as both a competition and a talent incubator.
The trailer confirms that Funny AF will debut later this year, with episodes dropping weekly. Netflix is positioning the show as a major comedy event, aiming to tap into the same audience that has embraced Hart’s previous projects.
