Netflix announced a release date for comedian Mary Beth Barone’s first hour-long stand-up special, Galaxy Brain, setting a global premiere for Tuesday, July 28.
The special will arrive on Netflix globally, according to Deadline, with the announcement following the outlet’s earlier exclusive report that Barone would bring her first one-hour comedy special to the platform.

In its preview of the program, Deadline said Barone’s aim in the special is to shock and amuse viewers, describing the set as Barone’s first full-length Netflix comedy offering.
Galaxy Brain follows Netflix’s continued push to expand its lineup of comedy specials and deepen its catalog of stand-up releases. For Barone, the Netflix debut marks a shift from shorter-format visibility to a full-hour platform event tied to a major U.S. venue and a global streaming rollout.
The premiere date gives audiences and the media a defined window for viewing, reviewing, and sharing reaction as the special becomes available worldwide on Netflix starting July 28.
