Dan Soder Sets First Netflix Comedy Special

Dan Soder has set his first full-length Netflix comedy special, which will tape sometime this summer.

The deal comes amid the stand-up comic, actor and podcast host’s 25-city “The Golden Retriever of Comedy” national tour, which is currently in its second leg. He is set to appear at the Netflix Is a Joke Fest on May 6 as the host of a “Live Movie Watch Along” at the Avalon Hollywood.

The special marks Soder’s return to Netflix after his breakout 30-minute set on “The Standups” in 2017. His debut hour “Not Special” was released a year earlier, in 2016, on Comedy Central. In 2019, HBO released his special “Son of a Gary,” and in 2024 he released “Dan Soder: On the Road” on YouTube, where the special has amassed more than 4 million views.

Soder is a comic’s comic whose sharp observational style and affable demeanor has earned him a strong reputation on the club circuit. He is also a well-established name in the comedy podcast world, with his ongoing “Soder” pod, which he launched in 2023, and the SiriusXM show “The Bonfire,” which he co-hosted with Big Jay Oakerson from 2015 to 2023.

As an actor, Soder is best known for playing Dudley “Mafee” across seven seasons of Showtime’s “Billions.” His TV credits also include “Inside Amy Schumer,” “Paradise PD” and “Difficult People,” and he has acted in films such as Judd Apatow’s comedy hit “Trainwreck” and the Alec Baldwin film “Drunk Parents.”
