Brilliant comedian Ari Shaffir has a show on Comedy Central called This Is Not Happening, and it’s based around personal stories told by stand-ups that all center around a single thing or idea. In the past, the concepts have been “friendship,” “drugs,” and every topic in between, but this time around, the talking point was appropriately “music.” Everyone on the bill rose to the occasion. After Shaffir’s opening story about being marooned at SXSW after being told the show he was supposed to perform at didn’t actually exist, each subsequent comic knocked it out of the proverbial park: Andrew Santino spun a tale about how a Mark Ecko sweater led to his motorboating a stranger at a String Cheese Incident concert; Nick Thune recounted his misadventures with Scott Weiland; Big Jay Oakerson felt bad about his altered friendship with megastar and longtime pal Kevin Hart; Ali Siddiq conjured his near-magical (and drug-assisted) run-in with George Clinton. But it was Sasheer Zamata who stole the evening, as the SNL star gave a rapt audience the blow-by-blow of her odd misadventures (both sexual and otherwise) with a recent SNL musical guest she only identified as Falcor (because she loves The Neverending Story). What began as mild flirting morphed into her receiving a $30,000 watch, some fraught texting, a single bizarre sexual encounter, and a yeast infection Zamata’s doctor described as “crazy bad.” This Is Not Happening is an awesome concept that should run and run; the season finale happens to be this Thursday after @Midnight.
