Kate Berlant will make her HBO comedy special debut with “Parmesan,” a new hour from the beloved alt comic out Oct. 16.
Berlant offers her sharp reflections and stream-of-consciousness epiphanies about the moon, her social media feeds and her sexuality.

This marks Berlant’s second stand-up special after the largely improvised “Cinnamon in the Wind,” which aired on Hulu in 2022. That same year, she and frequent collaborator John Early released a surrealist sketch comedy special titled “Would It Kill You to Laugh?” on Peacock.
“Parmesan” is executive produced by Berlant alongside Dave Kneebone, Janel Kranking and Naomi McPherson.
