Hulu has released a trailer for the upcoming comedy special from Chris Distefano, streaming Feb. 21.
Titled “It’s Just Unfortunate,” the stand-up hour sees the Brooklyn-born comic riffing on his three Puerto Rican kids (“Their names are Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria”), his 13-year-old stepson (“I love my stepson, he’s almost like my family”) and his dad’s rudimentary understanding of Latin culture (“They throw the parties for the girls at 15 — they call them Quesadillas”).
In the minute-long teaser, Distefano quips, “My girl, she wants a guy who knows how to build stuff. I don’t know how to build anything. I can build walls — emotionally.”
Distefano’s last stand-up special, “Speshy Weshy,” aired on Netflix in 2022, and his 2019 debut “Size 38 Waist” came courtesy of Comedy Central.
“What an honor to be one of the 12 comics chosen by Hulu,” Distefano said in a statement to Variety. “I feel like an apostle right now. Chrissy The Catholic. I bought my entire outfit at the Queens Center Mall. Shoutout Zara.”
“It’s Just Unfortunate” is one of the new stand-up specials comprising Hulu’s comedy initiative, Hularious. Kicking off Nov. 22 with a new hour from Jim Gaffigan, Hularious also includes specials from Bill Burr, Jim Gaffigan, Ilana Glazer, Jessica Kirson, Ralph Barbosa, Matteo Lane, Sebastian Maniscalco, Atsuko Okatsuka, Andrew Santino, Zarna Garg and Roy Wood Jr. Hulu has also licensed previously released comedy specials from 800 Pound Gorilla, Comedy Dynamics and Don’t Tell Comedy as part of its comedy programming push.
