Whitney Cummings returns to Netflix this week with her sixth comedy. Whitney Cummings: Jokes is the title of her upcoming comedy special. It is scheduled to be released on July 26, 2022, at 3 AM EST. This comedy journey will be different from her previous ones as it will be Cummings’ first self-funded special.
This upcoming concert, according to the comic, will be:
“More nostalgic and emotionally pleasing: no politics, lectures or self-indulgence.”
Cummings said she wanted to make the special with the challenge of creating a comedy series with broad appeal that would be for everyone in an ever-expanding world. Whitney Cummings: Jokes was recorded in Newark, New Jersey, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.

Jokes – Whitney Cummings What exactly is special?
Whitney’s latest comedy venture will see her try out quips that will appeal to a wide range of viewers. She believes that modern comedy sketches are very subjective. They attract certain audiences and repel others. This was the primary motive for her choice to finance the project herself.
Whitney wanted complete control over her special one. Under her current contract with Netflix, she will ultimately have authority over the form and medium in which her material will be seen. Whitney Cummings had this to say about the special:
“I’m still interested in what brings us all together and what we have in common. Comedians are such masochists. Trying to figure out anything we can all agree on right now is probably a fool’s errand. But given how contentious everything is, how apocalyptic broadcasting is on the Internet, you only see the news you want to read, the viewpoints you signed up to follow…”
She went on to say:
“In my show, I’m particularly interested in incendiary and witty topics about the most disturbing topics. But when it comes to a special, you have to make good on your promise: ‘I still expect this to make me laugh.’”
Triage Entertainment and Levity Productions are producing Whitney Cummings: Jokes. Along with Whitney, the series is executive produced by Judi Marmel, Stephen Gordon Walker, John Bravakis, Nick Kurzon and Marcus Raboy.
Whitney explained her intention to finance the comedy special herself:
“I’ve done four specials, and a lot of comedians I like have said to me, ‘If you can pay for it yourself, make it yours, . . .’
So at the very least, I have some influence on the seemingly weekly changes in the TV and streaming industry; these ups and downs can go on, but at least I have specialties.”
She continued:
“You really want to be able to share it in different ways according to how this new generation consumes humor, whether it’s five minutes on YouTube or one minute on TikTok or Reels,” she says.
