Comic Andrew Schulz will be self-releasing his upcoming comedy special, “Infamous,” after refusing an streaming service’s demands to edit or cut out entire jokes, which he claims the platform deemed too “wild” and worried executives about online backlash.
Schulz, who released a four-part Netflix special in 2020 titled “Schulz Saves America,” said in a recent video posted to Instagram and Twitter that executives from an unnamed streaming service “freaked out” upon receiving the finished cut of the stand-up set, which included mutliple jokes about abortion.
“Some of you probably know this about me, I’m a very stubborn guy, so long story short, I took my f—ing life savings and I bought my special back,” he told his followers.
