Comedian Brent Weinbach has unveiled his latest stand-up special exclusively on YouTube. Released this week, the performance is the result of a new partnership with Abso Lutely Productions, the indie outfit behind cult hits such as Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Fans can stream the 60-minute set free of charge through Weinbach’s official channel.
Streaming Stand-up’s New Era
After teasing the release on his Instagram account, Weinbach invited viewers to tune in. “The one and only Brent Weinbach has a new special up on YouTube! It’s co-produced by your friends at Abso Lutely and is REQUIRED viewing,” he wrote in a caption, tagging the production company and linking to the show in his Stories. The post featured an on-stage shot of Weinbach holding a microphone against a stark black backdrop, underscoring his minimalist style.
Known for his deadpan delivery and jazz-infused riffs, Weinbach has been a fixture on the comedy circuit for over a decade, with credits on Comedy Central and festival appearances worldwide. His observational bits—ranging from tech culture to everyday absurdities—have earned praise from critics and peers alike, and this latest special takes full advantage of the online format to reach a global audience.
Abso Lutely’s Role Behind The Scenes
Founded in 2006 by comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, Abso Lutely has built a reputation for surreal sketch shows and inventive specials. Heidecker, who rose to fame on Adult Swim’s Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, now applies the same offbeat sensibility to stand-up releases, seeking fresh voices like Weinbach’s to join the roster. The company’s catalog also includes projects such as Tom Goes to the Mayor and The Eric Andre Show, making it a fitting home for Weinbach’s off-kilter approach.
“Working with Abso Lutely felt like the perfect match,” Weinbach said in a recent interview. “They understand the importance of giving comedians creative freedom and letting the material speak for itself.”
What’s Next For Weinbach?
While the YouTube special is now live, Weinbach has hinted at upcoming live dates for 2024. Details are expected to drop on his website and social channels later this month. In the meantime, viewers can subscribe to his YouTube channel and hit the notification bell to catch behind-the-scenes clips, outtake reels, and future streaming events.
With this release, Weinbach joins a growing list of comics leveraging free digital platforms to expand their reach. As streaming continues to reshape the comedy landscape, artists like Weinbach and indie producers at Abso Lutely are leading the charge toward more accessible, direct-to-fan performances.
Whether you’re a longtime follower of Weinbach’s brand of smart, understated humor or a newcomer curious about modern stand-up’s online evolution, this special offers a concise, no-cost glimpse into one of comedy’s most original voices.
Sitting at the intersection of old-school stage craft and new-school distribution, Brent Weinbach’s YouTube premiere showcases how comedians can thrive outside traditional TV deals—and why audiences are tuning in en masse for free shows that feel anything but disposable.
