The Comedy Jam is an American comedy and music show that originally aired on Comedy Central in 2017.
Hosted and executive-produced by comedian Josh Adam Meyers, each episode features a guest comedian or actor, who tells a personal story, followed by singing a cover song related to their story backed by a live band.
Los Angeles comedian, Josh Adam Meyers launched a live show called The Goddamn Comedy Jam at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood in 2014.[1] The show features a guest comedian who performs fifteen minutes of comedy, tells a personal story and finishes the show by singing a cover song, usually a pop or rock song, that relates to the story.[2]
The Goddamn Comedy Jam was documented in a television special of the same name that aired on Comedy Central in 2016.[3] The special featured stories and songs performed by comedians Adam DeVine, Jim Jefferies, Natasha Leggero, Jay Pharoah and Pete Davidson.[3] The following year the show aired as an eight-episode series, renamed The Comedy Jam, that featured comedians and other celebrities.[3][4] At times the show's guests are accompanied by a special musical guest for the song portion of their set. Meyers also interviews the performers post-jam.
