How do both comedy and travel help you embrace the unexpected?
Comedian Ari Shaffir is best known for his 2 Netflix specials, 2 Comedy Central specials, and for hosting Comedy Central’s weekly storytelling series, This Is Not Happening. He was also a regular panelist on @Midnight and Conan. Ari is the host of the podcast Skeptic Tank and has recently released a new podcast called You Be Trippin,’ where he interviews real folks about their messed up disasters and memorable travel experiences.
Ari shares stories of his time on tour, and we talk about his philosophy of embracing the chaos of travel. You’ll hear about the unique cultural experiences that come with being a comedian on the road, gain insights into the art of comedy, and get a different view on the importance of dark humor.
During this humorous and insightful conversation, he shares some great, no-nonsense travel advice, insights on reframing plateaus, how psychedelics can help you tap into new perspectives, and much more.
What’s the most unexpected adventure you’ve had while traveling? I'd love to hear your story, and I hope you’ll share by sending me an audio message.
