Ivan Decker’s new comedy special, Popcorn, is out exclusively on 800 Pound Gorilla Media.

Popcorn is a culmination and celebration of everything that has happened in Decker’s life since his last special on Netflix — including stealing a baby from Whole Foods and attempting to raise it as his own.

Known for his unique observational edge, Decker shares his very personal experiences about being married and a first-time father while trying to balance touring around the world. His material is relatable, especially his passion for popcorn and how to make it “last in your mouth to postpone it’s delicious good feeling for later on.”

He says popcorn gives you a “rush of serotonin and dopamine that is better than any drugs;” hence, the ultimate inspiration for title of his special.

Taped in Victoria, B.C., the special was executive produced by Ian Arougheti and Justin SIlvera and was directed by Peter Carlone.

Decker’s first comedy special, “Underwater Scissors,” is a part of the “Comedians of the World” collection on Netflix. In 2017, Ivan was named a “Comic To Watch” by TBS at the New York Comedy Festival, and subsequently made his U.S. television debut on Conan. His debut comedy album “I Wanted to be a Dinosaur” was the recipient of the 2018 JUNO award for Comedy Album of the Year.

Decker is repped by Silvera Arougheti Entertainment Group, UTA and attorneys Yorn, Levine, Barnes, Krintzman, Rubenstein, Kohner, Endlich, Goodell and Gellman.
