Comedian Stavros Halkias is set to film his second Netflix comedy special, titled "Uncle Stav" [1].
This project marks a significant milestone for the comedian as he returns to his hometown of Baltimore to record the performance. By leveraging a local venue, Halkias connects his professional trajectory with his personal roots, which often serve as a central theme in his comedic style.
According to reports, the taping will take place on April 24 and 25 [3] at the Lyric in Baltimore [1]. The production is a follow-style follow-up to his previous Netflix special, "Fat Rascal," which was released in 2023 [4].
Netflix has not yet provided a specific premiere date, but the special is expected to release sometime later this year [2]. The event serves as the second Netflix special for Halkias [1].
Because the taping is occurring in Baltimore, the production will likely draw a local audience. This move suggests a strategy to capture the same authentic energy that defined his first special while expanding his reach within the streaming giant's global audience.

The return to Baltimore for the second special indicates a shift toward more localized, high-stakes recording environments. For Netflix, this special suggests a continued investment in the comedian's brand of raw, unfiltered comedy, which has found success with younger demographics on social media and podcasts.
