Shane Gillis: Live in Austin

It's rare for a stand up to have me constantly laughing. But this guy is just my exact sense of humour. Seen him randomly on youtube shorts then because I liked his humour so much I searched for him on YouTube and found this stand up set. Even when I was poorly lying in bed in the dark this guy had me laughing so much I had to pause it to cough. I've got the flu. Haven't laughed in ages. This is so so so funny. Honestly.. Wish I could see him live. I hope he comes to the UK one day. Please do a UK tour. I'd love to see you live Shane. Watched Ricky Gervais's latest stand up on Netflix two days ago and thought it was absolutely horrendous, it was so bad.... After watching this gem, I'm reminded what an actually funny comedian is. Thank you. Thoroughly recommend. Very good. Great work. Bravo. Going to watch your other one on Netflix tonight. Excited.

This is what stand up comedy looks like. Unbelievable special. I'm a huge fan of stand up and have been for years. Can honestly say I've never laughed harder at any other special than this. The fact that he doubts himself is insane. I will definitely pay to see him when his is in my area next. Great work Shane.

I was very surprised. Most comedians in YouTube are mediocre Gillis is original and very very funny. I hope he does Many more specials on Netflix and HBO too. He is not the usual liberal pandering dude who stays away from controversial topics. I am sorry he was cut from SNL. He would have been a breakout star. The part where he talked about his family was especially believable and something we can all relate to. He was consistently funny throughout the entire special. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

Why do they require 600 damn characters in is review? Seems excessive...

I heard all about Shane Gillis before watching this and he certainly was held in the highest of regard by his fellow comedians - but he absolutely killed it with this. He has talent of CK and Carlin while being likeable and relatable. What a special and what a comedian.

Shane is the best in the business at making you feel comfortable right from the get go. He has a charm in his way of telling stories that makes you feel like you've known him your whole life. As if Shane was in the friend group growing up. He is absolutely hilarious in this.

Don't make it too complicated. Grab some friends, grab some drinks, and laugh hard for an hour straight.

Disclaimer: Shane dunks on both sides of the political aisle continuously... if by any chance you're one of those insufferable people who make politics your whole personality, maybe sit this one out. Or don't. Maybe you'll learn to laugh a bit at the absurdity of life.
