Mulaney’s contribution to the festival won’t be limited to Everybody’s in L.A., as he will also perform May 4 at the Hollywood Bowl.

Meanwhile, numerous other musicians will participate in Netflix Is a Joke in one form or another, including Snoop Dogg as part of Seth Rogen’s Smokes the Bowl on May 7 at Hollywood Bowl, Fred Armisen with his show Comedy for Musicians But Everyone Is Welcome, rapper Freddie Gibbs’ … Presents CoKane Comedy and a performance by the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band with Ken Marino and David Wain, which has often featured artists such as Shudder to Think vocalist Craig Wedren.
