The Naughty Show is an adult-themed live comedy show and podcast hosted by creator Sam Tripoli. In 2008, Tripoli developed the concept as a pilot for Comedy Central. His idea was to bring rock and roll and chaos back to stand-up by turning a show into an event. He created a variety show with a party atmosphere in hopes of attracting young, fun bar crowds into the comedy clubs. Tripoli describes it as “the dirty show you can bring your girlfriend to.”
