Stavros Halkias has set his second Netflix special, “Uncle Stav,” which will premiere on the streamer sometime later this year.
The New York-based comic will tape the hour in his hometown of Baltimore at the Lyric on April 24 and 25. “Uncle Stav” follows Halkias’ last Netflix special, 2023’s “Fat Rascal.” Prior to that, he released his 2022 special “Live at the Lodge Room” on YouTube, where it hit 1 million views in its first four days and has since surpassed 8 million.
Halkias is a stand-up comic and actor who is currently performing on his “The Dreamboat Tour.” His comedy is both vulgar and playful, often covering topics like sex, body image, masculinity and his Greek heritage.
He recently wrote, produced and starred in the indie comedy “Let’s Start a Cult,” and Variety broke the news that he will star in Judd Apatow’s upcoming country music comedy “The Comeback King” alongside Glen Powell. (Halkias is playing Powell’s character’s agent. Cristin Milioti and Madelyn Cline also star.)
He appeared in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Bugonia” and Steven Soderbergh’s sci-fi series “Command Z,” and next he’ll be seen in the A24 Anthony Bourdain biopic “Tony.” He is also in Shane Gillis’ Netflix series “Tires” and hosts “Stavvy’s World,” a popular comedy podcast. Halkias broke out as a co-host of the since-retired comedy podcast “Cum Town” alongside Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen.
“Uncle Stav” is executive produced by Halkias and Ben O’Brien for Stavvy Baby Entertainment.
Halkias is repped by UTA and Schreck Rose Dapello.
