Following the success of his acclaimed HBO comedy special Romantic Comedy, rising star Ian Lara is back with a brand-new hour that proves he’s one of the most dynamic voices in stand-up today.
His latest comedy special, Material Boy, will premiere worldwide November 7th on YouTube.
Filmed in front of a packed audience in his hometown of New York City, Material Boy showcases Lara’s signature mix of sharp observational humor, infectious energy, and effortless charm. In this latest hour, he dives into the world of modern relationships, social expectations, and what it really means to chase success in an age obsessed with status and stuff.
Since first breaking out on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and later headlining his first HBO special, Lara has become one of the most talked-about comedians in America. Material Boy cements his place as a leading voice of a new comedy generation — unfiltered, relatable, and unapologetically himself.
Fans can stream Material Boy for free on YouTube beginning Thursday, November 7, 2025, at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT.
