Michael Che: Shot in Minnesota is Michael Che’s third Netflix stand-up special, filmed at First Avenue in Minneapolis. Directed by Che, it is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on October 13, 2026.

Michael Che: Shot in Minnesota is Michael Che’s third Netflix stand-up special, premiering on October 13, 2026. The title puts the filming in Minnesota front and center, making clear that this is not simply a tour recording but a one-hour performance completed for Netflix.

The special was filmed at First Avenue, a venue in Minneapolis. Unlike comedy programs produced in large theaters or studios, the stand-up format’s immediate interaction with the club audience makes the crowd’s response and the performer’s rhythm onstage central to the work.

Michael Che serves not only as a performer but also as director, and he executive produced the special through Rotten Science with Matthew Vaughn. As a new work following his first two Netflix specials, it is Che’s third Netflix solo performance in which he has personally shaped his stand-up set and brought it to the screen.

The released trailer announces the new special filmed at First Avenue and its Netflix release. Since the official introduction does not reveal the subjects of individual jokes or the details of the set, the heart of the work lies not in any particular topic but in Michael Che’s new solo stand-up recorded live at the venue.
