HBO has released at trailed for Marc Maron's next stand-up special.
In the teaser for Panicked, the comedian and podcaster joked that he didn't get into comedy 'to be entertaining'.
Maron, whose acting credits include Netflix‘s Glow, recently announced that he would be winding up his hugely successful WTF podcast after 16 years.
Panicked will be Maron's second special for HBO and his sixth stand-up special overall. It premieres on HBO on August 1, but it is not yet known if it will be available in the UK.
