Bumping Mics follows three days with Jeff Ross and Dave Attell as their touring stand-up comedy show Bumping Mics comes to an end and features the two improvising on stage with various guests at the Comedy Cellar in Manhattan. [3]

Critical reception

Forbes wrote "What makes the series so spectacular is not just its hilarity, formatting or celebrity guests. It’s its ability to portray a softer side to two of stand-up’s most notoriously hard-edged personalities. Ross and Attell have built careers on being the neighborhood jerks. But, they transcend into something far deeper in this new series." [1] Sophie Wiener, of The Daily Free Press , said the show was "crude and mean, but heartwarming". [4]
