Roy Wood Jr. has taken over hosting duties from Ari Shaffir for the fourth season of Comedy Central’s storytelling series This Is Not Happening.
Per usual, there are very insane stories, several of which probably benefit from certain statutes of limitations being over, and crazy looking interstitials inspired by the title of the show.
By the way, Roy looks pretty damn slick in his get up, doesn’t he?
Here’s the trailer.
This Is Not Happening season 4 premieres Friday, Feb. 2nd at Midnight on Comedy Central.
It’s been more than awhile (and much longer than we prefer) since this show has been around, but, thankfully, We Still Like You is coming back.
All the comedians booked tell a story in which they are definitely not the hero. At the end of each story, the audience cheers “"We still like you!“ in act of forgiveness. Per usual, the line-up is great.
Tickets are $5 and you can get more info here.
If there was a way for you to appreciate songs that are widely panned or hardly known for various reasons, it would be comedians telling their story of why they love said songs and then perform a live cover of it, complete with a live band.
Thus, we highly recommend to catch Guilty Treasure this week in Hollywood at Three Clubs. Please get tickets here.

Lots of people start bands. The one that Jeff Simmermon started involved chickens and typewriters. That may sound crazy, but it’s just one of the many fantastic, hilarious, well-crafted, true stories encapsulated on his new album And I Am Not Lying (plus there’s proof to back it up).
Get a taste of what we’re talking about with this clip.
Then, get your own copy of And I Am Not Lying to hear Simmermon tell the rest of his tales that almost sound like tall tales, but is just another point for truth being stranger than fiction.

As we’re finding out more and more these days, prank shows from over 10 years ago blurred the line in regards to breaking the law and what they ordered comedians to do for a prank.
It’s just as funny as it is cringe-worthy through almost every beat of it.
Comedy Central’s This Is Not Happening does capture some of the crazier things that happen in a comedian’s life. Though all comedians have heckling stories, few do involve getting into an actual full on fight during the show.
Greg Fitzsimmons shares one of those rarer stories here.
Comedy Central’s will be taping their latest season of This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir very soon at Cheetah’s in Los Feliz. There are 14 tapings currently available to attend for free, so long as you RSVP, and, as usual, they’ve got a very, very stacked line-up.
Stories will be coming from the likes of Darrell Hammond, Scott Thompson, Anthony Atamanuik, Byron Bowers, Sandra Bernhard, Kyle Kinane, Sean Patton, Chris Garcia, Joel Kim Booster, and Tom Segura to name a few.
Get more details, the full line-up, and tickets here.

Conan is one of the few late night shows that not only features stand-up, but often lets comedians tell a story, which often ends up being a pretty fantastic.
