Hold On with Eugene Mirman, the new series from Audible that puts storytellers and comedians in the spotlight…and on the spot. The fearless and inquisitive host, Eugene Mirman (Bob’s Burgers, Flight of the Conchords), pauses the funniest live stories to peer into the minds of performers for the story behind the story.

Often, the very best stories have a moment -- or several moments -- where the audience desperately wishes that they could raise their hand, jump up, and ask the storyteller on stage one question: “UM, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??!!”

But, of course, that’s not exactly in the cards. And everyone probably knows that stopping a live performance is rude, weird, and just downright obnoxious.

This new audio series from Audible takes a different approach. The host, comedian and storytelling aficionado Eugene Mirman, brings in some of his favorite fellow comics to playfully pause their true, entertaining, and personal stories whenever he darn pleases. If Eugene has a question, he asks it. If he wants to put the storyteller on the spot, he goes for it.  If he wants backstory, he gets it.
