This is how many stand ups work. Comedians tour with their latest 'set' of jokes, as a way to practice and hone it for the special.

When they tape and release the special, they start from scratch, write a new hour, tour it, and tape a new special.

That's why I don't really like going to see the big stand ups that do one special a year (Louis CK, Jim Jefferies, Bill Burr), every time they are in town they are just practicing their special that I'll end up hearing later on.
