Ari Shaffir
from South Beach Sessions with Dan Le Batard Hosted by Dan Le Batard
For decades, Ari Shaffir has brought the best stories in comedy to light. Coming from a deeply religious upbringing, Ari’s wild and raunchy path in comedy seems about as far away from seminary as anyone can get. Ari speaks to Dan about his time in the industry and the liberation that comedy provided him after leaving his orthodox Jewish upbringing. Ari talks about what inspired him to bring the best voices in comedy together, to tell their real stories that they couldn’t tell anywhere else. He also details his process making his stand-up special “Jew,” traveling the world honing his material (and realizing that, even after years of religious study, he got some details about the Torah wrong). And, of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with Ari Shaffir if he and Dan didn’t take a little dive into the world of psychedelics. Ari’s special, “Jew,” is available now on Netflix and watch his hilarious live storytelling show, “The End”, from YMH Studios. Go to AriShaffir.com for podcasts, tour dates, merch, and more.
