For the uninitiated, #StavrosHalkias (@Stavros Halkias) gained popularity for his comedy podcast ‘Stavvy’s World,’ welcoming fellow funny people Robby Hoffman, Matteo Lane, Zach Cherry, and more to shoot the shit. Next month, broader audiences will discover Halkias’s rebellious brand of humor with ‘Uncle Stav,’ his latest Netflix standup special, a follow-up to 2023’s ‘Fat Rascal.’ But don’t put Halkias in a comedy box—he’s also appeared in ‘Bugonia’ and @A24’s ‘TONY’ (the #AnthonyBourdain biopic), and will star in Judd Apatow’s ‘The Comeback King’ next year. #BreakthroughList2026
