Philly Comic's Netflix Debut: A Humble Offering of Laughs
20 Oct
Summary
- Comedian McCusker releases Netflix debut special "A Humble Offering"
- Built a diehard fanbase through podcast "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast"
- Transitioning from stand-up to novels, animation, and more creative projects
In October 2025, Philly-based comedian McCusker, nicknamed "The Shaman," released his Netflix debut special "A Humble Offering." This marks a significant milestone for the comic, who self-released his first special two years ago.
Despite already cultivating a diehard fanbase through his popular podcast "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast," which he co-hosts with Shane Gillis, McCusker's Netflix special offers him the opportunity to reach an even broader audience. His previous self-released special, "The Speed of Light," garnered nearly 4 million views on YouTube, demonstrating the strength of his existing fan following.
Beyond stand-up, McCusker has been diversifying his creative output, exploring projects like novels and animation. While he admits he would rather be writing novels than performing stand-up, the Netflix special represents another step in his multifaceted career. Known for his unpretentious, warm, and relatable persona, McCusker continues to defy expectations, seamlessly transitioning between philosophical discussions and recounting his past experiences, from drug dealing to analyzing the lyrics of Bad Bunny.
