I askedall six comicsabout the taping, their thoughts on the half-hour format, and the power of Netflix.

Five of them got back to me (Im looking at you, Kyle).

How did the taping go?

Rachel Feinstein:It was really fun.

I should be more nervous for some show in Tempe where no one cares but me.

Aparna Nancherla:It was a fun time in a cool venue.

Brent Morin and Rachel Feinstein were the other two.

They both were great, but I was able to make changes and improvements for the second set.

And I live in LA, so that helps in terms of knowing how audiences may react.

Joe List:I think the taping went pretty well.

I didnt love the first show.

The second show I enjoyed and felt like it went pretty well.

Well see, I guess.

Im never really sure.

I hope it will come out good.

Now that Im thinking about it Im pretty terrified.

Do you hate me?

What lessons have you learned from previous tapings that you applied to this one?

Morin:Well, anytime you do a taping you get excited nerves.

Yashere:To relinquish some control.

My three previous specials have been self-produced and then sold to networks.

That way, I recreate the same sense of fun I have on my regular, no-pressure sets.

If I flub a line, I start over.

In terms of reach and gaining new fans, where would you rank Netflix against other outlets?

List:I think Netflix is definitely the best way to reach new fans.

It seems that way anyway.

I havent added a new fan since my niece was born.

Shes a big fan of mine.

Netflix is huge though, and it stays up there for a long time.

So it seems like it should be the biggest.

Yashere:Netflix is number one right now.

The fact that my special will be instantly accessible to a worldwide audience is massive.

Comedy is international, so Im looking forward to gaining more fans in America and beyond.

The internet has made the world a small place, and Netflix has really tapped into that.

Morin:The great thing about Netflix is your stuff is there always.

It doesnt have an air date and then disappear.

Feinstein: Everyones watching Netflix and your special is there.

But theyll go watch comedy on Netflix all over the world when they want and its there.

Nancherla:It was a snapshot of material Id been touring with on the road during 2017.

Morin:For me, this was a half hour on its own.

It was a part of my life that I needed to put out there now.

It was perfect timing forThe Standupsto come along at the time it did.

This was the half hour I needed to get out.

Yashere:Half and half.

I was working on a new hour to be ready for 2019.

I just cut the 15 minutes that my aunt and uncle wrote for me.

I didnt want to have to pay them residuals.

Theyre really scary people.

How do you feel about the half hour format versus the standard hour used for specials and albums?

Its also nice that its packaged with the other half hours, so its more bingeable in that sense.

Morin:Watching the wayThe Standupsseason 1 was made and handled made me really intrigued.

I felt it was well made and easy to go from comic to comic.

That can be exciting when trying to get people to watch your act.

List:I like the half hour format.

Attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and I forget what I was just talking about.

I think its good.

Yashere:I was skeptical at first.

Not everyone pulls it off.

But we are living in a world where attention spans are getting shorter, mine included.

They get a taster, and then hopefully, they come to get the full experience live.
