2018 Edinburgh Fringe
Ari Shaffir: Jew
Ari Shaffir turned his last Fringe show into a Netflix special called Double Negative. This year, he returns to tackle his Orthodox Jewish upbringing. Ari questions all the things rabbis never wanted him to. Like, who were the real bad guys in Sodom and Gomorrah? Why do Hassidim dress like Johnny Cash fans? Who did Adam fuck before Eve? It's a UK festival-style show with the laughs of an American hour. 'Ridiculously funny' (Jimmy Carr). 'One of my favourites' (Bill Burr). 'The real deal' (Dave Attell). 'One of the 100 funniest human beings alive' (Joe Rogan).

Ari Shaffir, Chortle, 3rd August 2018The American invasion: Ari Shaffir
When we spoke to Ari Shaffir a few years ago, Thomas Black quizzed him on the Edinburgh hour compared to the American model of writing a show with the aim of just being funny over theme. Now Ari is returning with his first themed show. Thomas asks about the attraction of returning and the change of approach.
