NEW YORK, March 2, 2015 - Ari Shaffir has been a fixture on Comedy Central in 2015 with the world premieres of one-hour stand-up special Ari Shaffir: Paid Regular and storytelling stand-up series This Is Not Happening.

Filmed at the renowned Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY, this hour of standup is an act of defiance against responsibility. The special pays tribute to all the things we think but don't say, letting us in on why we talk to people we don't like, why you shouldn't live with your spouse, and why walking around your apartment naked eating Chinese food is the true meaning of life.

Leading up to the on-air premiere, Comedy Central Stand-Up will feature preview clips from the special. Fans can follow Shaffir on Twitter at @AriShaffir, and tweet using the hashtag #PassiveAggressive to join the social chatter around the special.
