Director Stavros Halkias has set his second Netflix special, “Uncle Stav,” to premiere on the streamer later this year.
The New York-based comic will record the hour on April 24th and 25th at the Lyric in his hometown of Baltimore. “Uncle Stuff” follows Halkias’ last Netflix special, 2023’s “Fat Rascal.” Prior to that, he released his 2022 special “Live at the Lodge Room” on YouTube, which received 1 million views in the first four days, and has since surpassed 8 million views.
Halkias is a stand-up comic and actor who is currently on the “Dreamboat Tour.” His comedy is both raunchy and playful, often touching on topics such as sex, body image, masculinity, and Greek tradition.
He recently wrote, produced and starred in the indie comedy “Let’s Start a Cult,” and Variety broke the news that he will co-star with Glen Powell in Judd Apatow’s new country music comedy, “The Comeback King.” (Chalkias plays an agent for Powell’s character. Cristin Milioti and Madeline Cline also appear.)
He has appeared in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia and Steven Soderbergh’s sci-fi series Commando Z, and will next be seen in the A24 Anthony Bourdain biopic Tony. He also appears in Shane Gillis’ Netflix series “Tires” and hosts the popular comedy podcast “Stavvy’s World.” After retiring, Halkias broke out as co-host of the comedy podcast Come Town with Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen.
“Uncle Stav” is executive produced by Halkias and Ben O’Brien of Stavvy Baby Entertainment.
Halkias is repped by UTA and Shrek Rose Dapello.
