EXCLUSIVE: Comedians Aparna Nancherla, Mark Vigeant, Demi Adejuyigbe and Michael Cruz Kayne are set to unveil new specials as part of the second season of Dropout Presents, the series from comedy streaming service Dropout. Check out a trailer highlighting the bunch above.
The first special, from Adejuyigbe, is set to premiere November 19. Titled Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going To Do 1 (One) Backflip, it’s said to feature original comedic songs, presentations, bits, and one single backflip performed by an aging, sedentary man who had to stand up and crack his knees in the middle of writing this.
Comprising a mix of anxiety, cerebral tangents, and a dash of absurdist whimsy, Nancherla’s first full-length special Hopeful Potato, directed by Eliza Skinner, premieres December 15.
Vigeant’s The Best Man Show is described as an interactive and darkly hilarious, polyamorous wedding reception where Vigeant plays the groom’s brother Paul, delivering a speech you’ll never forget. The special premieres February 25, 2026.
Part comedy show, part profound introspection into the furthest depths of grief and loss, Kayne’s Sorry for Your Loss premieres March 27, 2026.
Since its premiere in June 2024, Dropout Presents has showcased specials from comedians like Cameron Esposito, Hank Green, Chris Grace, Adam Conover and Courtney Pauroso. The series encompasses stand-up hours, improv shows and solo acts, recorded locally in Los Angeles or New York and airing exclusively on Dropout. Each special is also accompanied by a behind-the-scenes featurette on the prepping of the hour.
Nancherla is repped by CAA, Mosaic, and Felker Toczek Suddleson; Vigeant by Gersh; Adejuyigbe by 3 Arts Entertainment and Ginsburg Daniels Kallis; and Kayne by Gersh and Mosaic.
