Comedians tear up the stage in GODDAMN COMEDY JAM which showcases Pete Davidson ("SNL"), Adam Devine ("Workaholics" & "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates"), Jim Jefferies ("Jim Jefferies: Freedumb"), Natasha Leggero ("Another Period") and Jay Pharoah ("SNL") telling funny, poignant and ridiculous stories that have an association with an iconic hit song. After each story, the comedians sing their song live backed by the Comedy Jam Band. The one-hour comedy and music special premieres with limited commercial interruption on Sunday, August 28 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.
"Goddamn Comedy Jam" - the intersection of comedy genius and rock & roll dreams - is one of the hottest preexisting live shows in Los Angeles. Filmed at the Avalon in Hollywood, Devine kicks things off with a story about the time he lost his virginity after taking his high school sweetheart to a Blink-182 concert. Jefferies then follows with an impeccable impression of Liam Gallagher performing Oasis' "Wonderwall." Next up is Leggero with an anecdote about her familial connection to Rockford, IL and her segment is capped off by belting one out with a rock legend. Pharoah then takes the stage to reveal a vocally astounding version of Jack and Justin Bieber's "Where Are Now." Last up is Davidson who performs a ridiculously fun rendition of "Gangsta's Paradise," and then all the performers return to sing a classic rock anthem.
