Comedy clubs throughout L.A. -- including a one owned by Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan -- have seen their attendance soar in recent years thanks to Netflix releasing so many stand-up specials. Netflix executive Lisa Nishimura, who oversees the streaming giant's documentary and comedy programming, says she sends a team of six scouts "who spend a lot of late nights out, night after night, hitting the pavement and out in the clubs. There's no other way to do it."
