Exclusive: Bilingual comedian, actor and podcaster Tom Segura has signed a deal with Netflix for two stand-up specials, his fourth and fifth for the streamer, including his first in Spanish. The English-language Tom Segura: Ball Hog, which filmed live at the Moody Theater in Austin, TX, premieres March 24. The second untitled special will be shot completely in Spanish this fall.
“Netflix has rapidly changed the way comedy is consumed around the world, and by releasing a Spanish language special, I look forward to being able to reach a new audience that Jo Koy and Ali Wong will never get,” quipped Segura. “Estoy muy emocionado por la oportunidad de entretener las amigas de mi mama,” he added.
Segura, who grew up in a half Peruvian/half American household speaking fluent Spanish, has been staking his claim in the elusive Latin American comedy crossover market by performing both in English and Spanish.
