@@theylietoyouall.5051 Sorry to break it to you but i actually did like Sean Lock before he died.I watch 8 out 10 Cats Does Countdown and have posted on Sean Locks best bits from 2 years ago. The burp he did trying to eat 100 Welks was very funny. You may not believe it but i do.
This is great to see. Shows a young Sean thinking outside the box hurting no-one. A legend in the making and such a loss to us all. Thoughts are with his family and so many friends. Thank you for being you, sleep well
When you watch a comedian, laughter of the audience doesn’t always govern wether a comedian is good or not. Remember that in the early days Sean would have to play to many crowds to get established. Many of the crowds for early comedians tend not to be in to their comedy until they’re established and have a following, that’s why this set WOULD be widely and fondly received by those that admire his style of comedy today.
I love Sean but this is average at best, and it only makes sense since he was on the come up. It's like expecting a footballer at 16 to be in his prime.
I didn’t think the crowd was that bad, it’s not like they didn’t laugh at all, some bits they were cracking up. The first bit was a bit cold but the mad cow impression got them going. It was interesting seeing him deal with it
Exactly you can have a whole crowd in who have no sense of humour atall, or just those in who like sick insulting comedy only. Like that boyle comedian but very serious with it. Not a fan. But every comedian has fans somewhere.lol. No matter what there material or style is. I was at a comedy gig in a pub and most of the pub crowd wasn't laughing at anything.well only me.lol. I really felt for the comedians.
Very true if a crowd don't know you or has never seen you before. straight away they are all going to be in impress me mode. Hehe, lol. When a comedian is so very established and well know everyone is just expected to laugh and you are the odd 1 out if you don't. Lol
@@MrBaronCabron He's reused some of this material that fell flat in later gigs where it was a hit, so clearly its success is about more than just the material itself.
I dont think the crowd were that bad really, he did make them laugh, there were just a few moments they didn't seem to get it, his comedy seemed a bit way out there even back then. I thought it was hilarious.
You could see the traits of genius here also. Just does his thing, checking what sticks, while not caring what some might say think his already risky jokes. As i'm not english, tributes with the carrot in the box and and challenging wank is getting indistigueshable. Therefore pure historic gold here, thanks for the upload!
I think Americans are getting the impression this was a "tough crowd" because the audience isn't clapping after every word. This is about as emotive of a crowd as they come around those parts.
Really? Because that’s exactly what I was thinking. One night I last year I went to a comedy club in S.F. & I sat next to a guy who laughed at EVERYTHING that was said, opener and headliner. I was like “Geez dude, don’t be so easy.”
Thanks for sharing this video Dave. I only came across Sean in the last 10 years and thought he was a brilliant comic, what a loss to us all that love a good laugh. Rest easy Mr Lock. Best wishes, Daz, Leicester.
Thanks for uploading! I've been searching for older Sean Lock clips. Glad to come across this. Shows his progress and the don't give a shit attitude that ended up being his trademark. People saying it ain't funny, every stand up or any performer starts somewhere and in Sean's case, he became the best in the country. RIP
Im a massive Sean Lock fan, every comic starts somewhere, it wasnt that funny, but you can see how his brain worked, which in time would mature into the funniest stand up i have ever seen live.
People don't get it, at this point Sean was mostly surrounded by his peers. Grassroots comedy clubs are a tough ordeal, you don't get a huge crowd and not a lot of random people; often crowds are built up of other comedian's friends and families as well as your own. Combine that with being young and inexperienced it creates a tough atmosphere. Completely different to when you've had 30 years to hone your craft and have overcome all the personal challenges you encounter as you grow older.
Magic! Confident enough to keep his cool, despite a cold audience. He hung on well and was very funny, way before his time. Boy did good! When I'd heard he'd died, I was genuinely more upset than when I'd heard that my own Dad had died... the human brain is hoofed at times. Love to all xxx
Reminds me of when I used to host comedy nights in Clapham during 90/91. I was awful but watching the comics work through their sets, good and bad. Refining, editing and trying new jokes out. My respect for the ones who keep going until their whole act becomes unified is high. It takes time to become really good, but the journey there must be a nightmare. And RIP sean. One of the best comedians of the last 30 years.
If he were here I'm sure Sean would be mortified of everyone digging up his early stand up days. God I miss those awful 92 fashions though. This was the summer of shell suits if I remember rightly
I really love Sean Lock and I think he was an absolute GENIUS! Seeing this, I respect him even more. God damn the stones on that guy for going out on stage again and again, after stuff like this, and just refining his material bit by bit. Sean Lock, a TRUE legend!
Rest in Paradise to one of my favourite, if not my most favourite, comedians. Over the years Sean truly mastered a style cynical comedy, where many of his jokes revolved around issues that many people can relate too. What a legend. He will be missed dearly.
God rest his soul. That wasn't one of his finest hours, you can see how he got better over the years watching his later stuff. All part and parcel of maturing like a good wine.
So weird that he sounds like him, speaks like him, just not quite as funny as him. But it just shows his talent, that he grew into the absolute legend that he is.
Proper random comedy hadn't quite yet taken off back then, Sean was clearly a pioneer of random. I love random comedy. Nothing better than the unexpected.
I haven't seen a lot, mind, but this was better than the other stand-up of his I've seen. I found him to be absolutely brilliant in panel shows, but not the same level with his stand-up.
Yeah he didn’t seem too flustered by it, more like he was gauging them in order to pick the right jokes, as at times it seemed he was a bit stumped then thought of something. Just shows how quick his mind was. Showed in the clumsy heckle bit as well
You can see from this performance, although it wasnt that funny, how his mind worked. It wouldnt be long before he refined his act and would have me in absolute hysterics in the late 90's at the Ealing Comedy festival. RIP to such a unique comic brain. Will be sadly missed long after his death.
Yep, I don't understand all the other arse licking comments here saying how funny he was back then. No he wasn't. Like all comedians, he was damn average while learning the art. But yes, you can see the parallels of how his mind worked and all the wild and wonderful things going on in it. Years later, he had perfected the art of comedy.
I’d say it was mixed, IMO he definitely wasn’t unfunny. some bits I thought were hilarious, others pretty bad. I agree it’s interesting seeing how his Mind worked, u could see he was trying to adjust his act .
@@dadthelad I need to take issue with you there Keith, because - 'yes he was'. ..! I first saw him live prior to this in about 89/90 at the Red Rose club in London and he was hilarious. His opening line was; 'you know when you're out killing cows with hammers?' I've loved him ever since. The one thing he wasn't was 'average',.. ever. He was unique.
Shows how hard this is to do and not get laughs and to not get crushed and give up and eventually become what he did. I respect anyone who has the cajones to do it.
Brilliant! Thanks so much for this. "One day I might be rich". Yep, you'll be selling out the Apollo. Wonder what where all those cold faces in the audience are now.
Well done Sean for braving the tough days......RIP....you made me smile and laugh and yur presence will on out screens will be sorely missed. Prayers for your family and friends.
It's called grafting working hard to refine your profession, crowd was tough but you start from the bottom work your way up to a more receptive crowd etc
I'm not calling you out in particular, because loads are commenting along the same lines- I'm just curious why you're under the impression this was a "tough crowd" or that they weren't too receptive?
First time I saw him was when he was on stage with Newman and Baddiel at their farewell gig at Wembley Arena in December 1993. I really didn't get him at all but last year he became one of my favourite comedians, ever. Such a sad loss to the world of comedy.
Some really good pearlers here! Hidden in a deadpan sarcasm that he built on and improved over the years. James Acaster seems to have a very similar vibe now, and that's no bad thing!
Legend legend legend!!! Proper character unique soul one in a million and I no when a celeb dies people jump on the band wagon and post crap like this but I genuinely feel this always loved watching this man doin what he does had so many side splitting moments sitting by myself chuckling no matter what show he was on you knew he would say something outrageous and out there..first time in years I was actually devastated hearing the news of a celeb passing..rip Sean truly a funny funny man effortlessly funny
I absolutely adored Sean, i was literally watching Purple Van man the day before he died. His impact on our lives was biblical, I'm just wanting to bask in all his glorious career videos and that's exactly what I'm doing ❤️ the last celebrity who's death hurt my heart like this was Rik Mayall. We miss you Sean and I'm thankful to have existed alongside him
I really love the fact that way back when he started out he still didn't give a fook. Hehe, lol cos he knows at the end of the day he's only doing different unique silly but so very funny comedy. COMEDY LEGEND. RIP SEAN LOCK. I MISS YOU ALREADY. 1 OF MY FAVS.
I know we're all up his arse now, for obvious reasons, but it seems like he's every comedians favourite comedian and everyone's favourite panel show comedian. With retrospect it's maybe a good thing he never made it to superstardom as that seems to change people, I know we'll all say he wouldn't have changed but we never know. I never really 'got' any of the surreal comedians; Harry Hill just wasn't funny ooh ooh, Vic and bob were amusing to me but just got predictable (which is weird for a random act)[also not to discount them both as comedians and humans, they're both amazing at both from what I see] but Sean Lock was so random and not being weird and OTT about it. Thanks for sharing this video, was nice to see
Such a hard hard thing to even start doing. I think that's why it transpires that any survivors, also happen to be the most emotionally sensitive & highly intelligent, empathetic, kind and courageous, authentic people on the planet. I've only ever paid to see an affirmed 'made it comedian', comedy clubs aren't big in little nz. Apart from I think Auckland?, and that's NOTHING on the scale of the UK, and the occasional touring gig. But you watch this and you are reminded of all sorts about audiences and people at large. Snobbery, scathing non appreciation for what that person up on stage is going through, the sheer almost insane bravery of it!!! There is no glory. It's hard slog with no promises and you are completely on your own. I take my hat off. Some of the (rare) most honest earners around. He showed early promise for sure! I love the ways their minds work, it's certainly often different and very quick witted and bright as f**k.
In the words of Marty McFly "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it"
Exactly!
Right you are!
Spot on.
Brilliant!

Mine too
He comedy style was very much my dark messed up weird sense of humour.
I was genuinely gutted when I found out be had passed away
Mark Lemarr spotted at 1:36
Can see where James Acaster got his influence
Influence ? He's basically impersonating him!
I thought the same thing!!
I was just about to post the same point! Definitely agree!
I came to the comments to see if anyone else got Acaster vibes from this. Not disappointed
He should be arrested by the comedy police for performing under the influence (totally ripped off his act) of Sean. Acaster is a fraud.
See his mate Mark Lamar in the Audience. Bless you Shaun
1:36 I thought the same thing.
Good, you saw that too! I thought I was going crazy haha.
Came looking for this comment too. Well spotted all!
Who else heard 15 guys screaming "MARK LAMAAR!" in a falsetto when they saw him puff away? Bye Sean, you were the best.

If he did this today the audience wouldn't be able to stop laughing.
Yeah, now that he's dead everyone says he was funny...strange that...
It would be even funnier if his dog done it.

It was 1992. Alternative comedy had really only just started to go mainstream.

Half a mind to think it's down to editing tbh...

Sean Lock also wrote and starred in "15 Stories High". The TV series is on youtube and is a good watch with a unique and enjoyable style
Buy the DVD - much better quality than what is currently available. And also a very good series

Some really good pearlers here! Hidden in a deadpan sarcasm that he built on and improved over the years. James Acaster seems to have a very similar vibe now, and that's no bad thing!
Legend legend legend!!! Proper character unique soul one in a million and I no when a celeb dies people jump on the band wagon and post crap like this but I genuinely feel this always loved watching this man doin what he does had so many side splitting moments sitting by myself chuckling no matter what show he was on you knew he would say something outrageous and out there..first time in years I was actually devastated hearing the news of a celeb passing..rip Sean truly a funny funny man effortlessly funny
Sean lock was funny and seemed kind. My neighbour died last week. He was very funny and quite kind, he was called Kevin.
I absolutely adored Sean, i was literally watching Purple Van man the day before he died. His impact on our lives was biblical, I'm just wanting to bask in all his glorious career videos and that's exactly what I'm doing ❤️ the last celebrity who's death hurt my heart like this was Rik Mayall. We miss you Sean and I'm thankful to have existed alongside him
He was really ahead of his time comedically. Gonna miss him...
Rip mate
How many times do you think James Acaster watched this bit?
Tough audience! I don't think people were ready for the type of humour back then. It shows how Sean was ahead of his time.
@9:48 "Another first for Britain, wahyeyy!" 😂 Cracked me up
I really love the fact that way back when he started out he still didn't give a fook. Hehe, lol cos he knows at the end of the day he's only doing different unique silly but so very funny comedy. COMEDY LEGEND.
RIP SEAN LOCK. I MISS YOU ALREADY. 1 OF MY FAVS.
The absolute best
Definitely ahead of his game on this one..reminds me of Andy Kaufman.
5:08 Is that Abarama "Littlefinger" Gold?
"found a few old raisins in my pocket..."
Carry on, Sean Locke!
I know we're all up his arse now, for obvious reasons, but it seems like he's every comedians favourite comedian and everyone's favourite panel show comedian. With retrospect it's maybe a good thing he never made it to superstardom as that seems to change people, I know we'll all say he wouldn't have changed but we never know. I never really 'got' any of the surreal comedians; Harry Hill just wasn't funny ooh ooh, Vic and bob were amusing to me but just got predictable (which is weird for a random act)[also not to discount them both as comedians and humans, they're both amazing at both from what I see] but Sean Lock was so random and not being weird and OTT about it. Thanks for sharing this video, was nice to see
A grounded, non bs, unfiltered comment, love it
Such a hard hard thing to even start doing. I think that's why it transpires that any survivors, also happen to be the most emotionally sensitive & highly intelligent, empathetic, kind and courageous, authentic people on the planet. I've only ever paid to see an affirmed 'made it comedian', comedy clubs aren't big in little nz. Apart from I think Auckland?, and that's NOTHING on the scale of the UK, and the occasional touring gig. But you watch this and you are reminded of all sorts about audiences and people at large. Snobbery, scathing non appreciation for what that person up on stage is going through, the sheer almost insane bravery of it!!! There is no glory. It's hard slog with no promises and you are completely on your own. I take my hat off. Some of the (rare) most honest earners around. He showed early promise for sure! I love the ways their minds work, it's certainly often different and very quick witted and bright as f**k.
That's Mark Lamarr in the audience at 1:36
He brought this audience to a broader reality
never trust an electrician with no eyebrows is one of the funniest things i've ever heard and it was said to fill an awkward silence lmao
Tough crowd, but any crowd for stand up is. Rip lad , sad times x
