Mojo Brooks Reveals Netflix Special After 100k Ticket Milestone

Dyon “Mojo” Brooks has officially announced that his debut comedy special, *I Know You Lying*, will debut globally on Netflix on October 6. The show was filmed in December 2025 at Atlanta’s Center Stage Theatre, a venue known for its intimate atmosphere and high‑profile performances.

The title echoes the success of his 2025 headline tour, which sold more than 100,000 tickets across forty cities.

The production is a collaboration between Mike “Homeless Pimp” Lavin—who directed the special—and 3 Nuts Studios, where Lavin, Jason Nower and John‑J Sheridan served as producers. Brooks himself joined as an executive producer, along with Bernie Cahill and Grant Pennel of Activist Artists Management.

Their combined experience is expected to shape a polished, audience‑first experience.

Brooks’ meteoric rise has seen him move from club stages to arenas in less than two years. His 2024 Unhand Me Now Tour already pulled in over 65,000 tickets, setting the stage for the explosive 2025 tour that surpassed 100,000. This rapid expansion has positioned him as one of comedy’s most rapidly ascending stars.

## Background and Rapid Rise

Brooks’ early career was marked by a steady climb through the comedy circuit. He began performing in local clubs before securing headline spots at larger theaters. By late 2024, he had begun filling arenas, a move that is rarely seen so quickly in the industry.

The 2025 headline tour, named *I Know You Lying*, proved to be a watershed moment for the comedian. Over forty shows sold out, amassing more than 100,000 tickets worldwide. The tour’s success was a clear indicator of his growing fan base and marketability.

Brooks also secured a sold‑out appearance at the 2026 Netflix Is a Joke Fest, his crossover appeal between live comedy and streaming audiences. The festival debut further solidified his status as a mainstream entertainment figure.

## Current Tour and Future Projects

Brooks is presently heading into his largest headline run yet: the 42‑date Outta Pocket Tour. The itinerary spans the United States, Hawaii, and Europe, offering a global footprint that few comedians achieve at this stage.

It includes two homecoming shows at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena and two sold‑out performances at New York City’s Beacon Theatre during the November New York Comedy Festival.

His partnership with the Chicago Bears extends beyond live events; he frequently collaborates with the franchise throughout the NFL season. This year, fans can look forward to *Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story*, a Hallmark film produced in collaboration with the NFL and Skydance Sports, slated for release this December.

Brooks’ television presence is also expanding. He stars in Tyler Perry’s series *Miss Governor*, which spent multiple weeks in Netflix’s Top 10. The show’s success has bolstered his profile among broader audiences who may not yet be familiar with his stand‑up work.

## Representation and Production Team

Brooks’ career is guided by a trio of seasoned representatives. Bernie Cahill and Grant Pennel of Activist Artists Management—who are also signed to WME—handle his touring and media engagements. Todd Rubenstein at Yorn Levin, Barnes provides additional strategic counsel and contract negotiations.

On the production side, Mike Lavin’s direction promises a blend of sharp writing and dynamic pacing. Jason Nower and John‑J Sheridan, both with backgrounds in high‑profile comedy projects, oversee the logistical and creative aspects of the special. Their combined expertise ensures a polished final product.

The executive producers—Brooks himself, Cahill, and Pennel—have aligned to maintain creative control while managing the business side of production. Their collaboration is expected to preserve the comedian’s authentic voice throughout the project.

## Closing

With a global Netflix premiere set for October 6, Dyon “Mojo” Brooks is poised to expand his reach beyond live audiences. The *I Know You Lying* special represents both a culmination of his rapid ascent and a stepping stone toward broader media ventures.

Fans can expect a performance that reflects his unique brand of humor and the momentum he’s built over the past two years.
