New York, NY, June 19, 2015 - Premium TV network EPIX announced today that it will spotlight the surreal, naughty and hilarious comedy of Grammy(R) nominated, Peabody(R) and Emmy(R) Award winning comedian Craig Ferguson, in the Original Comedy Event Craig Ferguson: Just Being Honest making its World Television Premiere Thursday, September 10, at 10pm ET/PT, 9C. The stand-up special airs during the EPIX Free Preview Weekend taking place September 10-13. EPIX subscribers can watch the Free Preview Weekend across all EPIX platforms - on air, online, on demand and via the EPIX app. Non EPIX subscribers can enjoy the Free Preview Weekend online at EPIX.com.

Craig Ferguson's new special Just Being Honest captures a comedic genius at the peak of his powers. He delivers an unrestrained and brilliant performance covering the deeply meaningless to the profoundly meaningful. From the pros and cons of catch phrases, shoes that look like feet, and the Scottish version of hacky sack, as well as religion, aging, and sex, drugs and rock and roll - including his own delightfully weird experiences with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Kenny G. The hour-long special was filmed in a packed to the rafters Town Hall in New York City.

Craig Ferguson said: "I think it's important to be honest in a comedy special, but, then again, I'm a 30 year old comic who weighs 170 lbs. and is not sexually aroused by the smell of damp wool, so what do I know?"
