Ari Shaffir brings back the storytelling show that launched comedy careers, but says this is 'The End'

Back when late-night TV sets were still the primary route for a comedian to reach a mainstream audience, Ari Shaffir found a different way to make his mark.It started with creating a show where comics could tell completely uncensored, unhinged real-life stories.

What started as a live show grew into “This Is Not Happening” on Comedy Central, and later, into “Ari Shaffir’s Renamed Storytelling Show,” building a loyal fan base along the way, with clips still making the rounds 15 years later.Supporting shows leads to new opportunities, and while Shaffir’s latest chapter may close the book on his storytelling run, his final offering is certainly a strong one.Aptly titled “The End,” and taped live at the Box NYC, this seven-part series will be released and available for purchase through YMH Studios on Thursday , and it’s jam-packed with comedians that quite literally might kill you.

Especially one.The lineup is too stacked to leave anyone out, so buckle up for wild, unforgettable stories from Shaffir, Tom Segura, Ali Siddiq, Nate Bargatze, Tony Hinchcliffe, Ms.Pat, Shane Gillis, Sam Tallent, Steph Tolev, Jim Breuer, Robert Kelly, Chris Distefano, Big Jay Oakerson, Jordan Jensen, Joe List, Steve Simeone, Mark Normand, Duncan Trussell, Roy Wood Jr., Jessa Reed, Sarah Tollemache, Dan Soder and Colum Tyrrell.

Everyone’s stories are so next-level, and I almost choke-laughed and died during Ms.Pat’s.

It also looks incredible, tell me everything about the room.Ari Shaffir: The room is called the Box, and it’s this burlesque place.Or maybe you call it modern burlesque because it’s not just those feathers.

I really don’t know, but I feel like burlesque has evolved and that’s what this place is.It’s kinda crazy, and it’s definitely a night out.

Dave Chappelle used to have these “comedian balls,” which were so cool because he would just invite comics...
