Hulu announced on Tuesday that Human Magic, a new stand-up special from Ilana Glazer, is set to premiere on the streamer on December 20, launching on Disney+ internationally.
The special marks Glazer’s second on the heels of The Planet Is Burning, which premiered on Prime Video in early 2020. She taped it at the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre in Toronto in early May, after touring the hour in every corner of the country, playing 52 shows across 48 cities in the U.S. and Canada.

An Emmy-nominated comedian, actor, writer and producer, Glazer is coming off of co-writing, producing and starring in Babes, the acclaimed pregnancy comedy directed by Pamela Adlon, which Neon released in May. Best known for co-creating and starring opposite Abbi Jacobson in the hit Comedy Central series Broad City, which ran for five seasons, Glazer has also recently been seen starring on Apple TV+’s murder mystery comedy series The Afterparty. Other screen credits include Hulu’s A24 horror pic False Positive and comedies Rough Night and The Night Before.
Glazer’s Human Magic is coming to Hulu as part of its new stand-up comedy brand, Hularious, which launches in November with a new special from Jim Gaffigan.
