Comedian and former reality-TV star Hannah Berner will release her second Hulu stand-up special, titled “None of My Business,” on June 5, 2026 [1].
The project marks a return to the spotlight for Berner, who is using the material to process the psychological toll of reality television and the exhaustion of constant travel.
Berner has released two Hulu stand-up specials to date [3]. In a recent interview conducted over Zoom, she discussed how returning to the stage allowed her to reclaim her identity after appearing on the reality show Summer House. She said, "I felt like my voice was shrunk" [2].
For Berner, the act of performing comedy served as a recovery mechanism. She said, "Stand-up was healing after Summer House" [2]. The transition back to comedy provided a space to regain her perspective after the unique pressures associated with the reality-TV environment.
Beyond the emotional recovery, Berner is currently prioritizing rest. She has been on tour consistently since 2020 [2]. This period of nonstop work led to a need for a strategic pause in her schedule.
"I've literally been on tour since 2020, so I'm liking this break," Berner said [2].
The upcoming special will be available for streaming on Hulu, continuing her partnership with the platform as she balances her career between televised personality and professional comedian.
“"I felt like my voice was shrunk."”
Berner's transition from reality TV back to stand-up highlights the tension between the scripted or curated nature of ensemble reality casting and the autonomy of solo comedic performance. By framing her return to the stage as 'healing,' she underscores a broader trend of performers using their own public personas as raw material for psychological recovery and professional rebranding.
