Macarthur-Boyd, whose show Scary Times will be the first release, said: "Collectively we've spent over £15,000 of our own money to self-finance these tapings.
"We're really proud of them and just want to get as many eyes on them as possible.
"Not just that, but I think it's cool that for five Sundays in a row, there's new good Scottish comedy available for free during a cost-of-living crisis."
Scary Times, recorded in Glasgow at the Pavilion Theatre, is the follow-up to his 2024 comedy special Oh No.
The other comedians each have their shows lined up for release, with Jennings' interactive crowd-work special Crowd/Marc dropping on June 29 and Withnail's Live At Monkey Barrel on July 6.
McClelland, who won the Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award at the Glasgow Comedy Festival, will release his show Slug Nudger on July 13.
The series will be rounded out by McPherson's show Horse on July 20.
All comedians will be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August at Monkey Barrel Comedy.
