- Mojo Brookzz (Dyon Brooks) will premiere his debut special "I Know You Lying" globally on Netflix on October 6, directed by Mike "Homeless Pimp" Lavin and produced by 3 Nuts Studios' Lavin, Jason Nower, and John-J Sheridan.
- The special was filmed at Atlanta's Center Stage Theatre in December 2025 and shares its name with Brooks's sold-out 2025 headline tour that moved more than 100,000 tickets across 40 cities.
- Brooks is currently on a 42-date international Outta Pocket Tour spanning the U.S., Hawaii, and Europe, including two sold-out homecoming shows at Chicago's Wintrust Arena and two sold-out Beacon Theatre performances for the New York Comedy Festival in November.
- "Miss Governor", Tyler Perry's Netflix series starring Brooks, spent multiple weeks in the platform's Top 10, and Brooks sold out his 2026 Netflix Is a Joke Fest appearance.
- The Chicago Bears partner with Brooks throughout the NFL season, and Brooks will next appear in Hallmark's "Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story" this December.
Why it matters: Brooks's rapid ascent — from headlining clubs to arenas in under two years, capped by a 2025 tour that sold 100,000-plus tickets across 40 cities — converts into a Netflix debut special on October 6, giving the platform a tour-tested comic already wired into Tyler Perry's Netflix series, a 42-city international run, and NFL/Hallmark cross-promotions.
