Comedian Kevin Hart is bringing a comedy competition show to Netflix.

Per Netflix, the new series will put aspiring comics through the highs and lows of stand-up life.

Kevin Hart will executive produce a new comedy series alongside comic heavyweights (TBA). Together, they’ll guide contestants through an unfiltered, uncensored, and unapologetic competition that pulls back the curtain on the gritty, hilarious, and often unpredictable path of a stand-up career.

Over the course of the eight-episode series, contestants from all over the US will face rigorous tests that mirror the real-life journey of a comedian, from brutal open mics to bombed sets and rewrites to the pressure of big-stage performances. The competition will give viewers an unvarnished look at comedy’s darkest corners and brightest spotlights with challenges inspired by some of the comics’ actual career trajectories.
