This is the second-ever Netflix is a Joke festival. Billed as the largest comedy event in history, the festival is taking place from May 1-12. It’s set to feature more than 300 events with some of the top comedians in the world.
While this is mostly unfamiliar territory for Zayn, it’s not the first time he’s presented a comedy show. He put on the SamJam Comedy Hour in Toronto during SummerSlam week in 2019.
Zayn is competing in one of the most anticipated matches at WrestleMania 40 this weekend. He’s challenging Gunther for the Intercontinental title at night one on Saturday (April 6).
As the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in history, Gunther has held the title for more than 650 days. He decimated Zayn in an angle that went down on Monday’s episode of Raw.
