Comedians of the World on Netflix features stand-up routines from 47 comics, from all different parts of the globe. The best part about this is that viewers can get some insight into what life is like in certain areas of the world. What can we learn from these comedians and their everyday lives? The series also features comedians from non-English-speaking areas, including France, the Netherlands, and Germany, which Netflix provides subtitles for.
