HBO Max, which launches in May 2020, is to stream stand-up specials from UK-based comedians Rose Matafeo and Ahir Shah.

Other stand-up specials just announced will be from Tracy Morgan and John Early.

Matafeo is already making the sitcom Starstruck which will be available on BBC Three in the UK and will stream on HBO Max in America. 

It has already been announced that the New Zealand-born Matafeo will be filming her 2018 Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning show Horndog in London in early 2020 so it may be this show that HBO Max has picked up.

Londoner Ahir Shah's latest show is Dots.
