Top storytellers share their wildest, unfiltered true stories before a live audience in this final installment of Ari Shaffir's 16-year exploration of long-form storytelling in stand-up comedy.
Tom Segura, Colum Tyrell, and I, Ari Shaffir, tell stories that should have got us arrested. These are bad people. If I wasn’t actually on this show, and Tom wasn’t producing I wouldn’t have booked either of them. Some people deserve to be cancelled. Decide for yourselves.
Nate Bargatze, Steve Simeone, and Jim Breuer tell stories they have trouble believing themselves. If these guys weren’t actually the best humans in comedy I would have called them liars to their faces and told them to leave my set. But they’re well known as good people who don’t lie so I guess I’m the bad guy in all this? Get off my back.
Roy Wood Jr., Jordan Jensen, and Joe List show you how things can sometimes all work out. This chapter gives you hope. It gives you promise of a better world. Now, getting to that point was pretty horrific for all of them, but let’s not harp on that part. It all ends well. Oh, shit! That’s the name of the show! And stay tuned till the end for a bonus story from Roy and Ari about a this thing that was happening to both of them.
Chris Distefano and Jessa Reed join all time legendary storyteller Ms. Pat for some wild stories about some terrible remedies. Get your voodoo dolls out, light some incense, and put blood on the doorstep for this chapter. The doctors are in.
Mark Normand, Duncan Trussell and Ari Shaffir owe it all to some special people. We’re using “heroes” pretty loosely here in case you couldn’t have guessed. So these ain’t stories that are gonna make you cry. They’re more like stories that will make you happy you’ve lived your life right while we lived ours wrong. I legitimately don’t know how any of us aren’t homeless. Anyway, this chapter will make you feel good about yourselves by comparison.
Shane Gillis, Dan Soder, Robert Kelly, Sarah Tollemache and Sam Tallent come on for the most packed episode of the season. And that’s not a fat joke about Bobby Kelly because he had the lipo surgery years ago so that joke is hack now. No, it’s because there’s 5 comics on the show, idiots. Luckily for us, all of these guys turned their lives around and became cooler people. I’m still working on that for myself so I’ll use this chapter as a guide for self improvement.
Tony Hinchcliffe, Steph Tolev and all time legendary storytellers Big Jay Oakerson and Ali Siddiq close out the show for some nice stories about getting it on. I personally think NONE of these people should breed. So I’m hoping they all struck out. But let’s see what happens in the most hoity toity of all the chapters in The End. We didn’t blow our load until the end. Get it? Get it or no? Blow our load? Till The End? Get it? I think you get it. Anyway, jizz.
