Ari Shaffir - JEW (2022) FULL SPECIAL

New special taping live in Washington DC on April 26th and April 27th! Both April 27th shows are sold out, but we still have seats left on April 26th - buy tickets NOW www.outbackpresents.com/arish...
This is my love letter to the culture and religion that raised me. I worked on it harder than I've ever worked on anything. And I'm giving it to all of you because I want you to have it. Please talk about it with each other. Share laughs with your friends and family while you talk about this special. Ari Shaffir: Jew was made to bring people together. Let's have some fun!
VENMO: account.venmo.com/u/Ari-Shaffir1 or
PAYPAL: paypal.me/AriShaffir2?country...
$how your thank$ the Jewi$h way.
I spent 43% of my life savings to make this special. The deal with these KZbin specials is that comics can make them but we rely on you to pay us back or we just can't afford to do this. So now that you've seen it, please help support this kind of independent standup. If you liked it a lot, let that guide you to throwing more dollars in. The standard for a so-so special should be about $7-$10. And this was no so-so special. This was the best thing I've ever done and probably will ever do. So let your own income and your enjoyment of this massive undertaking and risk of mine guide you in how much you tip. Throw in those shekels, people! It's a mitzvah! And I guarantee you if I make my money back, I’ll be able to make more great stuff like this. Not just for myself but also for other comics. This is the Edinburgh Free Fringe model. After you see a show, people tip based on what they thought it was worth and how much they had to give. So base your donation on that. I’ll just be out here with my tip bucket.

Special thanks to Andrew Schulz for pulling me kicking and screaming into 2022 with how to package and promote a special on KZbin. He is as giving as any comedian in the world. And though what he does to Akaash's butt is abhorrent and wrong in most if not all world religions, he is nonetheless a gentlemen and a consistent and constant defender of the great art form of standup comedy. @TheAndrewSchulz @akaashsinghcomedy

If you think about, by selling your special to Netflix or the like, youre limiting your viewership to the number of subscribers watching comedy on that outlet. Everyone has KZbin so its smarter to put it out for free and get the ad revenue while extending the reach and scope of the project.

Speaking for all the comedians. If you guys give some tips, we can keep doing these. Imagine a world with no more gatekeepers. Where the only things holding us back is the amount of money it takes to make these. I like the Edinburgh Free Fringe model of shows where we don't charge the audience for tickets. But then after the show, the comic stands outside with a bucket and people throw in their "thanks" as they file out. On great shows, I made more. On shows where I was off or tired, I made less. The adults put in more than the college kids. But even the college kids threw in a pound or two. And the people who owned houses kicked in 20s or 50s. Sometimes even 100! This model allowed everyone to take a chance on a show without financial risk, and then afterwards they gave what they woulda given had they known how good it was going to be. The amount of money I'd get in my bucket was always in direct correlation to how good a show I had put on. When I was on fire, the bucket would be overflowing with cash. When I was off the bucket would be lighter. It was fair. Well, same with these specials. If you see one you loved throw in a lot. If you see one that was so-so, throw in less. It was paid for by the guy on stage. And you're directly paying back the guy who brought you an hour (or in this case 90 minutes) of laughs. I think a fair price for an ok special is $3-7 dollars. That's a good price for something they worked on for 2 years (or in this case 5 years 6 months 11 days). And I think a fair price for something amazing is closer to $20. But obviously a lot of that comes down to your individual financial status. We're all somewhere in between those college kids and those adults who owned their own homes. And by the way, this isn't just for me. This is for all the comedians on KZbin. They all took a chance. And they're out there with their buckets. Some of them you already walked past. But they're still out there. Go back. Go back and tip out List, and Iapalucci, and Normand, and Morrill, and all the other ones. They gave you something you loved. Return the favor. If you got money, give them what they deserved. If you don't, I get it. I was poor for a long time. A very long time. But just because you're poor doesn't mean you can't put something in the bucket. In Edinburgh, my bucket would have plenty of bills. But it would also be littered with interesting coins from around the world. With Lucy, and Mandy. With ideas on cool restaurants and bars. The equivalent here is to tell people about what you saw. Post it in your stories with links. On your other pages with links. Post about it on your main pages and then again a week later. Spread the word. Leave comments. Tell the comedian how much you liked it. Tell them about a bit or two or some jokes that really stood out. All that stuff helps too. If we're going to free comedy from these gatekeepers, we can all play a role The only reason a comic would go to network is for the reach and the money. Well, KZbin has the most reach. And the least censorship. KZbin has no executives coming in with their ridiculous notes on what a professional comedian should or shouldn't put into their work. Honestly, how dare they? The gall to tell a professional and talented comic what they should do on their own special. It's so disrespectful. And KZbin has no gatekeepers. Gone are the days where a talented comedian gets told they're not famous enough, or they're too dirty, or too political, or wrongly political, or they're the wrong gender or race or age. That power is now in the hands of the comics. It's up to us to decide when we are ready to record something. That's our responsibility. And when that time comes, we gotta get a ton of money together and take a huge chance. And if you guys hold up your end of the deal, it can be at least a break even thing for us. We'll all do this if we can break even. We'll take years of work and give it away if we have a decent chance at simply breaking even. Those networks are irrelevant to good standup. That's a shame but it's true. We can change the game. We can free the art form from these dinosaur gatekeepers. Imagine no more censored comedy. Imagine every special being exactly how the comic wants it to be. Every deserving special getting made so you can watch it. We're in this together. It's a symbiotic relationship. Standup is the only art form on earth that requires an audience to exist. So let's put these out together. Crowdsourcing after the fact. Pay what you can and what you feel like you should. The way they do it in Edinburgh We. Are. In. This. Together. I'll be outside with a bucket after the show. Let's GOOOOOO!

[@buttersstotch4956]

Yeah he wasn’t the first but he did also produce and pay for it out of his own pocket so that’s impressive. Comedians usually don’t make much selling their specials to streamers anyway unless it’s chappelle or some shit. They are aiming to break even atleast and then after that it’s views they want so they can sell more tickets. They will go wherever they are confident they will get eyeballs and KZbin is perfect for that. He has a big enough fan base that he could’ve put this behind a pay wall on his website but the views were more important.

Such a great special but you HAVE to see him live. I’m fortunate to have seen him at the mothership for joe Rogan and friends and he killed it! BTW air only a true Jew would say the amount of life savings that went into it 😂You can tell when someone is born to do something and that’s how I feel watching Ari. Thank you!

I didn't think I'd get to go see him in Philly but I wound up being given tickets for tomorrow night; I don't think I've ever been so psyched! He's for sure my favorite comedian 😂

Saw him in the comedy cellar in NYC in 2013 - already amazing back then

[@sebastianwhatever4182]

this special is definitely goes into my top 10 of all times. it was hilarious and INTERESTING, and this is what many comedians lack of, interesting material and stuff u didnt know before. thats why this special doesnt make u bored and its long. bravo Ari! also its free on youtube, what a gift

I just know him from protect our parks, i always wondered how his stand up is. This was flabbergasting. It's really rare that a comedian puts so much trust in his audience that they are intelectual capable of complex jokes. So this is thought through and put to perfection, you can see he worked on this for years. Thank you Ari !

[@ElyottRyan]

Amazing Special! Ari was one of the first comedian's I saw live after I started doing stand up 8 years ago. I waited until everyone else had talked to him and bought merch. I introduced myself and said I had just started stand up. He was super nice, took the time to talk to me and asked me a few questions. Then he signed the shirt I bought from him and wrote on the shirt "Stick with it," ruining a perfectly good fucking shirt! When I started I fucking sucked but I took his advice, and obsessed over comedy and last month I got to perform a short opening set in a 450 person theatre and crushed it. Thanks Ari for caring about the up and comers and shitty open micers.

[@arishaffir]

I remember that. I was hoping you’d buy a second shirt but it didn’t work.

@@sqaure4175 He isn't funny, and he drugs people against their will. He's an abuser. And he's laughing about rape. The fact you find this funny is kind of disgusting, and that this is the type of person you support. You should look up the way he acts in his normal life. How he treats people he is supposedly close to. It's appalling. But that's the type of person you want to see succeed.

As someone who grew up in a very religious environment and can relate to a lot of this material from a different cultural perspective and as someone who appreciates comedy in a city that largely doesn't get it, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This material will always hold a special place to me, because of the look I got when you performed the Berlin bit in NOLA and I laughed hysterically and looked to my right to see the 50-ish year old woke couple looking at me in disgust before abruptly leaving. Getting a picture with you at the end made my night. Thanks for all your work. Until next skankfest

@@xdirtyrandyx its new orleans. They went to a show because it was something to do on a date night. When Natasha and Mosha were here in 2018 at one eyed Jack's 80% of the audience wasn't paying attention and talking so loudly with each other that I couldn't hear their bits. It's not a great city for comedy. Mark Normand says that on a Rogan appearance from a few years ago. That's why I'm out of here in another year and a half once I get my journeyman book.
