paid regular

Both of Ari Shaffir’s most recent stand-up specials, Passive Aggressive and Paid Regular, will be premiering on network TV on Comedy Central in 2015.

Though Passive Aggressive was shot years ago, it’s still rare for a single comedian to have two specials premiere on the same network in the same year.

Paid Regular will air on Fri. Jan. 16th at midnight and Passive Aggressive will air on Fri. Mar. 13th also at midnight.

Along with the premiere of the storytelling show that Shaffir hosts, This Is Not Happening, Ari should have quite the 2015.
