This Is Not Happening

Our Review

Ari Shaffir’s Comedy Central storytelling show where stand ups sit in a grimy basement and try to out shock each other with true stories. The premise is simple: comedians take the stage not for jokes but for the craziest thing that ever happened to them, and the results range from hilarious to genuinely unbelievable. Drug stories, near death stories, stories that end in handcuffs.

The guest list was the draw: big names letting their guard down in ways they never would on a talk show. Some segments became legendary, and the loose anything goes vibe made it a cult favorite during its run.

Our take: 7.5/10.
