Comedians are known to continually tinker with their comedy sets, but Chris Rock seems to be taking that one step further. Like standup comedy's answer to George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, Rock has revisited his 2018 Netflix special Tamborine and given it a re-edit. The result is Chris Rock Total Blackout: The Tamborine Extended Cut, which expands upon the original production with a host of new jokes and extras.
