Ari Shaffir

Ari Shaffir is one of the most talented and dynamic comedians on the scene today. Whether he's riffing on current events, sharing hilarious anecdotes from his life, or tackling taboo topics with unflinching honesty, Ari's comedy is always fresh, fearless, and unforgettable. He's a master of the craft, able to make even the most taboo subjects seem approachable and relatable.

In addition to his numerous appearances on the Joe Rogan podcast, he is best known for his last special, "Jew,” which garnered over 4 million views in its first month. The special is a hilarious and irreverent look at his own Jewish heritage, as well as the wider Jewish community. He takes on everything from Jewish holidays and traditions to Jewish food and dating, and even delves into the controversial subject of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

His own podcast, "Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank" is a chart topper that comes out every week. On this podcast, Ari explores a wide range of topics, from current events and pop culture to personal stories and philosophical musings. He brings on a variety of guests, from fellow comedians to experts in various fields, to share their unique perspectives and insights.

The deal is, this is a dirty show. So don't bring that one friend in your friend group who makes that tsk noise a lot. Just tell them you're doing something else, or your grandmother died, or your grandmother killed somebody and you gotta be a character witness. Whatever. Just don't bring them. But everybody else: for sure come! See you at Meervaart in Amsterdam on May 3.
