I wish i could open a million youtube channels just to give you a million subscribtions. You are my hero. In the most depressing of times in my life, i turn to your shows just to ease my mind from the stress of my life. I wish you the best best best of luck. You are the next Dave Chapelle. !! God bless you Josh and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO !!! ❤❤❤❤
I just wanted to say that I think that you are so dope! I’ve been watching you for a while now and I’m so impressed on how you’ve evolved as a comedian. Def my fav🫡
Seriously - it's now a month later (and kind of a different world entirely) but I am blown away that Josh was able to have such a nuanced take after only 6 hours.
Dude punctuates one of the best speeches for unity with "I just want a good taco". A true poet of our time. Mad respect for Josh for being able to preach deep thoughts to an audience with some jokes in between to keep the mood light and up. That's the best way for comedy to be a vehicle.
Agreed. She is very distracting. I'm glad she's having a good time, but it is really, really irritating. I almost turned this off because it's just....a lot.
A comedic historian. Love this man. For the naysayers who think people should "stick to comedy" truly don't appreciate a comedian who can artfully intertwine humor and thoughtful discussion. So refreshing. Keep on keeping on Josh. ❤
His Civil War joke is stolen from Shane Gillis. Almost word for word saying people say this country is never been so divided, but we had a Civil War that’s pretty divided that is literally Shane’s joke
@@crazydogman677that’s just your history. Oh no, Shane Gillis said something, add it to the list folks! No one can ever say that again! That wasn’t the whole joke, either.
I have a feeling hes gna be the new Dave Chapelle. His story telling comedy is exactly like chapelles style. And he has the ability to come up with new material and get you hooked to listening to a story and waiting for the laugh. And not many comedians have that talent. God bless his soul ! ❤❤
@@nancyhaddad1454 yeah, I get sucked into the story, and then am always pleasantly surprised by the unexpected twist that makes me laugh. I'll forget that he's a comedian and then BAM, I'm laughing.
I once asked my boxing coach, who was a legitimate Mui Thai practitioner and fighter that competed, what he tactics he would use if somebody tried to pick a fight with him in a bar. He stopped warming up, looked me dead in the eyes, and said without even a little bit of sarcasm, “I’d just get naked. Nobody wants to fight the naked guy.” Then immediately continued shadowboxing. There were so many layers to that lesson that it has stayed with me for years. Lol
Reminds me of a conversation with a friend who also grew up in a kinda rough area. I was complaining that my mom gives me shit for going out at night. He responded that he would just go out naked with a knife and a bottle of ketchup. No one wants to get close to the craziest guy on the street at 2 am. Yes we are Floridians 😅
@@frankiemillcarek6976 that reminds me of the MIB application test 😅 "This white girl out here on the street at 10pm with chemistry books...she up to something".😅
I love how all the good martial arts teachers are like: Best strategy in a real fight is 'don't get in a real fight'. Now let me show you how to break a guys arm if he has a knife! 😄😄 But it's true though imo martial arts is for yourself to feel secure and for the cases where there is no other way out. My old Taekwondo teacher also repeatedly told us before self defense lessons - 'If someone pulls a knife on you irl move 1 is run! Move 2 is throw something then run! This stuff is for the 0,1% where you can't run!"
He's so good at letting it linger... Not sure where he's going, and then bam hits with something incredibly poignant or incredibly goofy it's fantastic
As an older blackman...jus wanna say proud of you...i like ur sets are friendly to all cultures, funny without a focus on profanity n trash....ur show is funny and the family can enjoy it......ty from my heart and soul....cause many have forgotten❤
That’s why comedy is subjective. Everyone has their own style and sense of humor. There’s no right or wrong way to do comedy. And you can’t please everyone.
For real. I can show my parents his whole videos without having to cringe and apologize for language use and content. I work hard to filter what I show my parents out of respect and Josh Johnson’s work always gets through while being stunningly funny
💯 Im packing up my house for a move and listening to him & laughing...nothing makes me feel uncomfortable, or cringe, etc. There is a comedian for everyone...and Josh is a comedian for my minds level..not stated right but you know what I mean.
“I do truly care about every American.” Holy shit, Josh. Way to put it into words. I might not *like* a bunch of us a lot of the time - but I do actually want us all to live a safe and healthy and happy life.

@@bluckyjones Thank you, I meant it. I literally had to allow notifications from TH-cam on my phone just to get updates on his channel because I keep notifications at the barest of minimums, but he is worth it...plus I got a heart from Josh Johnson's team... y'all can't tell me nothing!😂😂😂
How can you be a "flaming conservative", isn't being truly conservative actually being reserved, in actions and practices? It would seem if you're very out and loud and excited, or even perhaps aggressively conservative, about being a conservative, you might not be a conservative. Perhaps you chose the wrong combination of words, idk, but flames are not really the imagery i would associate with being conservative
I'm not a US resident so I'll be honest I don't know what is Liberal and Conservative views, but he's very funny and so observant - with a wit so sharp he could slice a presidential candidate's ear 😉
Josh, you are an amazing comedian and a genius with your craft. This is the first time a comedian brought me to tears. Please NEVER stop what you do!!!
I've been watching your stand up since 8 this morning. Through work to now. You are a blessing! I'm a 52 year old white woman and was raised just north of you in the deep southwest MS pine belt. Your grandma and my mama must've been in touch causedI picked out my own switch too, AT CHURCH, and was marched outside from the front row right in front of God and everybody. Somehow we have a shared life experience, which has made this incredibly funny.
the duality in your comedy between being absolutely legitimately hysterical and also being motivational and inspiring is my favorite thing about you, dude. we love a comedian who can be funny while discussing serious topics and not punching down.
Aside from how absolutely talented you are as a comedian, I showed some clips to my parents and my mom is absolutely certain you "either must be or should be a pianist, because he has such lovely, elegant hands" haha
Just looked up that pirate video and it’s extra impressive that Josh got all those laughs out of that story without touching on the whole LGBT+ background. It’s like showing other comedians: you can skip the low-lying fruit which just goes splat on someone’s face to reach a higher plane. Well done!
If only for this (and I do apologize for saying this), I think it is high time we all moved on from Chappelle. Someone has the crown of truth telling now.
I genuinely think that he has given me my sense of pride and my hope for America back. It’s so easy to be disheartened but he has a way of reminding me that this country has more to it than the worst news stories
He has a very approachable take to the sense of "patriotism" on the level of like, all being in it together and not fighting within ourselves. His ability to see and speak on the Good of human nature is very heartening :,,,)
Josh has the ability to talk about incredibly serious topics. Things that would normally derail a show/set, and yet he is able to bring the energy back on a satisfying whim, that few comedians do as well as he does it. Truly incredible work. 🔥🔥
Last time I went to the dentist the doctor kept freaking out because there was a fly in the room. It's like: Ma'am, it's a fly, you have power tools in my mouth; please try harder to keep your shit together
On the flip side, she has a power tool in your mouth. If the fly distracts her while she has the power tool in your mouth or the fly flies into your open mouth...
She probably freaked out at the thought of the fly possibly entering your mouth and your either swallowing the fly or choking on it and then, you yourself, consequently freaking out whilst said power tools were in your mouth. Idk. Sounds like she was trying to do you a solid. 🤷♀️ 😂
@@sunnie19 I actually have no idea who gifted it to me since the email doesn't tell me. Otherwise I would have tried to thank them directly! Maybe they'll see this and know that it was genuinely such a nice gift. I know memberships aren't expensive but when you're paycheck to paycheck it makes the little things mean so much. Especially considering I haven't been able to go to one of his shows.
@opheliamunroe1110 That makes the gift even more special. I hope they read your message, too. You must have been speaking about how much you like Josh to someone. 😃 Either way, I'm happy for you. Enjoy your membership. 😊
Goddamn, you have this like perfect control of your voice, you always have the ability to drop down into a comedic register, that makes your monologuing style work so well. Just so permanently funny; not gonna say effortlessly, but definitely you have a natural knack for this. Like, a truly unique voice; you have staying power, and I hope you get the credit you deserve for that!
When I see earlier videos of him with other hairstyles, I can’t help but think like he is always handsome, but dude really found his look with these! They look so great on him!
If I had children, I’d be pointing towards Josh to be their role model. He’s funny as heck, he’s making an amazing career for himself on his own terms and self promotion, and he has the best take on American society today. He truly has my admiration, respect and a bit of a star struck fangirl. 💙
This man knows how to bring unity through laughter, compassion, and reminding those around him of the humanity within each of us. Josh is one hell of a guy ♥️
Everyone thought Chapelle was prolific for doing 4 specials in a few years. Josh has put out 20 specials with his videos and current takes. This dude and Jordan Jenson are gonna be the new killlers
Facts. I wish I could keep track of and structure all my thoughts and observations the way he does. And the fact that he then makes it all funny and naturally weave together is just a joy to watch.
it's some skill to be able to wring 10 minutes of entertaining material out of describing a youtube video that's less than 7 minutes long. like you could go and watch the video in less time but it's not as funny as hearing him talk about it.
If it's your first time here, welcome to the best kept secret that shouldn't be a secret in all of comedy. He does a Netflix set like this on current events every Tuesday. Edit: Just for clarity, I posted this comment before this set even premiered. You will not regret checking the rest of his material out.
@@cassun603literally, I’m too young to remember Dave’s chapelle’s prime but when I’ve seen people talk about it, this is what I picture. On his way to GOAT status
@MidnightAssass1n I think a better comparison is Lewis Black, the man who literally started the daily show and is still a correspondent for it. Lewis doesn't write his material down word for word like, most comedians he usually just off the dome does his thing just by coming up with a topic. The both of them remind me of rapers who don't write their bars they just do them
I like that he got passed the podcast bullshit all the other comedians are hooked on. Annoying audience or not (I wasn't annoyed but some were) real good comedy needs an audience.
In the Netherlands we call a comedian a comedian, but someone like Josh we call a cabaretier; someone who can make you laugh, but also make you think, make you cry. And I’m so impressed that he has such a great show every week discussing current events. Imagine him getting his own late night show!
I waited a couple of days to get my head straight before settling in to listen to Josh think aloud about the assassination attempt. He didn't disappoint. I feel thoughtful, affirmed, and confirmed in believing that we as Americans can and will do better.
I just had to look up the video after watching this, and the most shocking part to me now is that you told this whole story without even mentioning that the pirate's name is Zero Triball 🤯🤯
@caleblatreille8224 You are crazy! 😂 When I read … “the pirate’s name is Zero Triball” … I spit my drink out. We are a lot alike in the way we think. That was funny!!
At first, you think the last person to jump in is a nudist, but then you realize the confidence that is required to be a nudist in the first place, lol.
I come from Vermont, the(former)land of nudists, and I have always known to drop trow if someone comin at you. Also, they don't worry abt concealed carry in a place filled with guns.
So no joke, I got into a really bad car accident this past Saturday. I'm really bruised up, but otherwise fine. But definitely almost died by nearly flipping over a low railing and plunging down hundreds of feet. I've been in a funk and thos video just made my damn month!!!! Drive safe everyone. Don't take shit for granted. And definitely don't become a pirate! 😁🤙🍻 OR A NUDEST!!!!! thanks Josh.
A good comedian is a great observer and a great communicator. You are going to be proud of yourself, decades later, when you look back at this night. You helped many people in that audience to process the historic events of the day. Well done.
Josh's calm, steady, and profoundly funny approach to his material has suxh a calming effect on me. Thanks for speaking sanity and for having hope for us all, maybe we can borrow it.
I live in the bay area, and this confirms i'm not friggin crazy. I could have sworn i saw a pirate on the bart train one morning, but i was running on 2 hours of sleep so i thought I was trippin' .
Lots of really weird stuff in bay/Bart area. Occultists/rituals, huge private libraries, people so strangely/ugly looking like goblins, other groups doing interesting things. Saw the most legit Russia agent guy I've ever seen. Te lawyers/judges seem to be on something. Very creepy artwork and behavior. Hooker areas with bad stuff going on, so much so that people just turn a blind eye to people needing help. Everything bizarre. Plus, Bohemian Grove. Worst are the new rich. They have the most terrible behavior to service staff, no shame about raging in public. Super low class terrible new rich behavior.. but the Pirate stuff and fights on trains I saw more of them in Toronto tbh. That's more normal and fewer substances.
I live in the Bay Area as well, and other than Beta Breakers and Folsom, thankfully, I’ve only been thrown off by a with her breasts hanging out holding a knife on BART.
I really enjoy the lady's laugh. This set is awesome as well. I appreciate you taking time to acknowledge the scary but reassure us that we don't have to hit rock bottom before we change things.
Lady being picked up by the mic, ignore all these people. You're great. Real reactions mean everything. Josh watching this will be glad you're there. Keep being awesome.
Facts so many hateful ass people acting like hearing her enjoying the show was a personal affront to them. As opposed to what it actually was which would be the fault of whoever set up the sound equipment. Which may well have been Josh for all we know. Imagine being so hateful that you can't let someone have they're joy if it inconveniences you.
Yeah, I’m very sensitive to noise and I could enjoy the video no problem. Listening to Josh I could tune her out. And it’s not her fault she was enjoying the show!
@@OBNOXIOUSBLA13Even if he set up the sound how would he know a big laugher would sit there. Id think a comedy club would have mic’s set up above the crowd. But ppl are going overboard with it. I’d hate to be that lady having no clue and reading some of the comments.
I was using it as focus practice. Like, you have to be good at keeping distractions out when you're on stage sometimes. I feel like I got to experience what he does when he's doin a set.
So many good takes! Aside from being so funny- when Josh gets serious, he is dead on! I am very proud to hear someone young preaching understanding, taking a beat instead of mouthing off, giving grace, and caring for your fellow man ❤
Found Josh Johnson on The Daily Show, then TH-cam randomly recommended his stand-up. Now, I’m laughing so hard my neighbors think I’m running a comedy club. Thanks, algorithm!
This was such a good non-partisan response/comedy bit. I've really enjoyed Josh's humor, but it's also refreshing to see a major personality just be so human.
@@yendyss And when that obnoxious person is doing that they are ruining it for those sitting around. Or if they are near the mic, for everyone listening to the recording.
I just discovered you today young man! I am a fan! You are hilarious and sharp and clearly just an all around great young man. I am a sixty- ummm something year old grandmother from a place in the hills of Tennessee that ain’t even on the map. Like, don’t bother asking Google Maps because they don’t know. What is important here is that if you or I went out today to find a new friend, we would not be looking in the same place. Yet, here we are. I have watched several of your videos now but this one….this one sealed the deal for me. I wish that every American could hear the things you had to say. Absolutely BRILLIANT. I hate to admit it, but, I was one of those yammering about omgoodness we’re done for! I have some hope. So maybe you just meant to be funny today. Maybe you just hoped for a big audience and you could entertain them for a little bit. What you gave me, that was hope. Things are scary out there nowadays. Too many spreading hate. You are the first one I’ve watched on tv in I don’t know how long, you sit, spread hope. We have to be really careful or we will let all the haters turn our country into something that none of us really want. Thank you young man! Keep it up! God bless you! God bless America.
Josh, it's rare to see such a thoughtful, intuitive comic. Absolutely love seeing your videos. Get down here to Lexington so I can show all my friends who I've been talking about!

Not talent, grit and effort.

Josh, you are an amazing comedian and a genius with your craft. This is the first time a comedian brought me to tears. Please NEVER stop what you do!!!
“And I promise all this is going to be funny again. I haven’t forgotten” 😂
“We don’t know, and we can’t act like we know just ‘cause we feel a lot”
YES!! I’ve internalized that one!
Best statement
@@harmonymorse704 remember, Drake had a lot of feelings, like, several albums worth, and we see how that turned out, lol
I love how he stated this...
I've been watching your stand up since 8 this morning. Through work to now. You are a blessing! I'm a 52 year old white woman and was raised just north of you in the deep southwest MS pine belt. Your grandma and my mama must've been in touch causedI picked out my own switch too, AT CHURCH, and was marched outside from the front row right in front of God and everybody. Somehow we have a shared life experience, which has made this incredibly funny.
the duality in your comedy between being absolutely legitimately hysterical and also being motivational and inspiring is my favorite thing about you, dude. we love a comedian who can be funny while discussing serious topics and not punching down.
Wonderful to discover a young comic who isn't like the old cranky crowd who complain about people not laughing at them being shitty anymore.
"Maybe he's standing on top of the X he's trying to dig"🤣🤣🤣
"We can't act like we know just cause we feel a lot" thats a great perspective
I first saw Josh when he did the “Catfishing the KKK” routine and I knew this was a man I’d be watching for life
Same!❤
Same here 😊
Same😊❤
Hard to believe that that was like 5 or 6 years ago.
Same 😭 it's still gold too
"Not all heroes wear capes" has a whole new meaning to it 😂😂😂
😅🤣😂that comment 🔼made my morning!
So you're saying he was circumcised?
@@kevinsmithfan37😂😂😂😂😂
Yup! Some of them just shows some balls😂
@@chineloanikpe9554 😭😭😭💯✨️
It is so refreshing to see a comedian who doesn't resort to vulgar language. Thank you sir!
❤❤❤❤brilliance without vulgarity & divisivness😮😅😂😊
My Gods, you Americans are so prude.
This is your time, Josh. You’re meant to be here in this point in time and you’re doing good work. We need voices like yours right now.
Preach it!!
💖 was thinking just this.. his voice is so important rn. Doesn't hurt that he's hilarious too ❤️
Aside from how absolutely talented you are as a comedian, I showed some clips to my parents and my mom is absolutely certain you "either must be or should be a pianist, because he has such lovely, elegant hands" haha
Funny I noticed the same thing.
@@karinwall999Same!
It's like he has mermaid (merman?) tails for hands. I'm captivated by then.
Idk what it is, but that is such a mom take 😂 it's not wrong tho!
Omg ❤ your mom!
Bro, 2 weeks later I can not imagine having spoken this clearly and maturely about this the DAY it happened. Well done Josh 🤘
I saw the pirate, nudist on my local news. Yah, I live in the Bay Area. True story 😂
I legit thought he was making it up as he went lol. That's wild
@@DavidRealMusic you would have thought it was one of those weird FL stories. Had the naked men blurry with my morning coffee
@@katboss4886 I'm from Florida, and I've met a Florida man or two, but this was a step above.
@@DavidRealMusic used to live in FL. Happy in CA. We get weird too though.
@katboss4886 Yeah I use to live outside of LA, yall definitely do too lol
Just looked up that pirate video and it’s extra impressive that Josh got all those laughs out of that story without touching on the whole LGBT+ background. It’s like showing other comedians: you can skip the low-lying fruit which just goes splat on someone’s face to reach a higher plane. Well done!
Josh has a very conscientious and refined style, I'm quite impressed by him.
If only for this (and I do apologize for saying this), I think it is high time we all moved on from Chappelle. Someone has the crown of truth telling now.
Josh Johnson is truly a gem of this generation! One of the best comedians I have seen!
I genuinely think that he has given me my sense of pride and my hope for America back. It’s so easy to be disheartened but he has a way of reminding me that this country has more to it than the worst news stories
Honestly for a second he made me proud to be an American when I'm not even American 😭
He has a very approachable take to the sense of "patriotism" on the level of like, all being in it together and not fighting within ourselves. His ability to see and speak on the Good of human nature is very heartening :,,,)
"I hope you're not finding out from me." You're so much fun! 😂
And here I am waiting for Josh to give me the news!🤣😂
I'm just glad I didn't find out from the Supernatural meme😂
@@Kagomai15 Haha! People who weren't on twitter that day wouldn't know what you're talking about, what an obscure reference lmao.
@@LoreCatan It's not obscure on tumblr, I've found out at least 4 political things because of that meme 😂
Josh has the ability to talk about incredibly serious topics. Things that would normally derail a show/set, and yet he is able to bring the energy back on a satisfying whim, that few comedians do as well as he does it. Truly incredible work. 🔥🔥
✨💯💯🎯🎯🎯👍🏼✨
Being able to have material for and talk about something that happened just hours ago is really impressive
Agree. How did he do it so quickly. Genius comedic writer.
Last time I went to the dentist the doctor kept freaking out because there was a fly in the room. It's like: Ma'am, it's a fly, you have power tools in my mouth; please try harder to keep your shit together
On the flip side, she has a power tool in your mouth. If the fly distracts her while she has the power tool in your mouth or the fly flies into your open mouth...
That’s insane, what was she a baby?😂
She probably freaked out at the thought of the fly possibly entering your mouth and your either swallowing the fly or choking on it and then, you yourself, consequently freaking out whilst said power tools were in your mouth. Idk. Sounds like she was trying to do you a solid. 🤷♀️ 😂
@@HollieHolliewood 🤣🤣🤣I was struggling to read your comment cuz I couldn't stop laughing by just imagining it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"now that is funny,i approve of the joke"
👀
“You know how when somebody with a beat up car is driving reckless“?!
That right there spoke to my soul 😂😂
I really hate that too
‘Metaphysical subscription’ might just be my new favourite description of religion 😭
Oh my gosh someone gifted me a channel membership and now I'm kicking my feet in the air 😭 Ion know who did it but thank you so much!!!
I like your attitude of gratitude 💕 you deserve the gift 🎁
You are blessed. 😊 I never had a friend like that. Hold on to them.
@@sunnie19 I actually have no idea who gifted it to me since the email doesn't tell me. Otherwise I would have tried to thank them directly! Maybe they'll see this and know that it was genuinely such a nice gift. I know memberships aren't expensive but when you're paycheck to paycheck it makes the little things mean so much. Especially considering I haven't been able to go to one of his shows.
@opheliamunroe1110 That makes the gift even more special. I hope they read your message, too. You must have been speaking about how much you like Josh to someone. 😃 Either way, I'm happy for you. Enjoy your membership. 😊
Awesome 🎉
Goddamn, you have this like perfect control of your voice, you always have the ability to drop down into a comedic register, that makes your monologuing style work so well. Just so permanently funny; not gonna say effortlessly, but definitely you have a natural knack for this. Like, a truly unique voice; you have staying power, and I hope you get the credit you deserve for that!
I absolutely love this man's material and his delivery, it's so grounded, practical and rational not to mention, insanely hilarious 😂😂😂
The way I love Josh's natural 2-strand twists is just deep rooted jealousy!🤦🏾♀️🥰😍
I have hair jealous of him and I don't even have afro textured hair. He looks good! He's a good looking guy!
Right!!!!
@@stoodmuffinpersonal3144yeah, he is literally so handsome
When I see earlier videos of him with other hairstyles, I can’t help but think like he is always handsome, but dude really found his look with these! They look so great on him!
@@s.dunne.3833 Yes indeed, he is very handsome.
I discovered Josh during the pandemic with his Netflix special. He was amazing and I've been a fan ever since!
I haven't seen the Netflix special bc I just found his channel yesterday. Gonna check it out. Thank you for mentioning it
If I had children, I’d be pointing towards Josh to be their role model. He’s funny as heck, he’s making an amazing career for himself on his own terms and self promotion, and he has the best take on American society today. He truly has my admiration, respect and a bit of a star struck fangirl. 💙
Only comedian I can listen to that makes silence and deep topics interesting. It’s like comedy with a side of Ted Talk. Love him!!
This bloke is BRILLIANT!!
His bit about Diddles is the best commentary on the subject.
Truly excellent observational humour.
This man knows how to bring unity through laughter, compassion, and reminding those around him of the humanity within each of us. Josh is one hell of a guy ♥️
Wow. Josh's reaction was 10x better than any politician's. I actually feel hopeful now, thanks man
That woman is having the time of her life. She makes me so happy
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one. It's like an authentic comedy bar experience to hear her!
Girl is going to comedy church and she's got that Josh spirit!
This. I'm actually enjoying hearing her. 😂 Genuine laughter.
I feel like that woman could easily be most of us caught on mic. Add a snort and that's me.
It was nice of Josh to feature on that lady's laugh track.
Everyone thought Chapelle was prolific for doing 4 specials in a few years. Josh has put out 20 specials with his videos and current takes. This dude and Jordan Jenson are gonna be the new killlers
Facts. I wish I could keep track of and structure all my thoughts and observations the way he does. And the fact that he then makes it all funny and naturally weave together is just a joy to watch.
Agreed. Crazy how fast his comedy has risen in quality. Legitimately has moved into my personal top 5 living comedians.
it's some skill to be able to wring 10 minutes of entertaining material out of describing a youtube video that's less than 7 minutes long. like you could go and watch the video in less time but it's not as funny as hearing him talk about it.
Best post-assassination attempt commentary I've seen yet. You really moved me. Thanks for reminding me about what's best in our country.
"The people you meet every day, thats real life." Amen!
Yup yup, that's true
@@nicnaknoc and the people in real life suck, if they didn’t, it would be easier to sell “touching grass”
If it's your first time here, welcome to the best kept secret that shouldn't be a secret in all of comedy. He does a Netflix set like this on current events every Tuesday.
Edit: Just for clarity, I posted this comment before this set even premiered. You will not regret checking the rest of his material out.
it's literally insane how quick he can turn around new material
@@cassun603literally, I’m too young to remember Dave’s chapelle’s prime but when I’ve seen people talk about it, this is what I picture. On his way to GOAT status
I just love him. Not mu 1st time, but I didn't know!
@MidnightAssass1n I think a better comparison is Lewis Black, the man who literally started the daily show and is still a correspondent for it. Lewis doesn't write his material down word for word like, most comedians he usually just off the dome does his thing just by coming up with a topic. The both of them remind me of rapers who don't write their bars they just do them
I like that he got passed the podcast bullshit all the other comedians are hooked on. Annoying audience or not (I wasn't annoyed but some were) real good comedy needs an audience.
The funniest American comedian I watched for a long long time. I haven't laughed so much since Seinfeld and CYE. Greetings from UK
What a humble ass dude. Took time to thank every one and I can just feel he's being genuine about it. I
This man is a TRUE comedian....the ability to stay relevant and keep it funny with the amount of sensitivity today is astounding
In the Netherlands we call a comedian a comedian, but someone like Josh we call a cabaretier; someone who can make you laugh, but also make you think, make you cry. And I’m so impressed that he has such a great show every week discussing current events. Imagine him getting his own late night show!
I waited a couple of days to get my head straight before settling in to listen to Josh think aloud about the assassination attempt. He didn't disappoint. I feel thoughtful, affirmed, and confirmed in believing that we as Americans can and will do better.
✨💙🙏🏽💙✨
Only 500k subs? This guy shares the whole truth of America as it is and people cheer and laugh!
He needs to be loved and protected!
Calm down ahahahahahahaha he is gonna make it there, the million subscribers, just let things happen at their own pace 😅😅😅😅😅
I just had to look up the video after watching this, and the most shocking part to me now is that you told this whole story without even mentioning that the pirate's name is Zero Triball 🤯🤯
Whaaa? 😂 that is oddly appropriate 😂
@caleblatreille8224 You are crazy! 😂 When I read … “the pirate’s name is Zero Triball” … I spit my drink out. We are a lot alike in the way we think. That was funny!!
Probably some sort of privacy issue
Ahh so a One Piece pirate.
Josh will make think just as hard as he makes you laugh. That’s true comedic talent right there!
This man is a national treasure. I stand on that.
At first, you think the last person to jump in is a nudist, but then you realize the confidence that is required to be a nudist in the first place, lol.
A nudist in the middle of the city! 😅
I come from Vermont, the(former)land of nudists, and I have always known to drop trow if someone comin at you. Also, they don't worry abt concealed carry in a place filled with guns.
Too many guys are too confident and haven’t been body shamed as women are.
Thank goodness most people don't.
@@WynnWynn-gl3fklol ikr?? I haven't been in a bathing suit without a shirt on over it since I was a teenager!!😂😭
Thank you for the laughs.
God bless
So no joke, I got into a really bad car accident this past Saturday.
I'm really bruised up, but otherwise fine.
But definitely almost died by nearly flipping over a low railing and plunging down hundreds of feet.
I've been in a funk and thos video just made my damn month!!!!
Drive safe everyone.
Don't take shit for granted.
And definitely don't become a pirate!
😁🤙🍻
OR A NUDEST!!!!!
thanks Josh.
Happy healing. Don't laugh too hard. 🌹
I'm glad you are OK. We're all in this together.
Glad you are doing ok and here laughing with us. Take care.
Geez! Sounds like Final Destination is coming for you or something
Glad you're okay. That's so scary 😮
A good comedian is a great observer and a great communicator. You are going to be proud of yourself, decades later, when you look back at this night. You helped many people in that audience to process the historic events of the day. Well done.
I'm so moved.
You are outstanding! I really love your demeanor! You have a fabulous cadence in your presentation!
Josh's calm, steady, and profoundly funny approach to his material has suxh a calming effect on me. Thanks for speaking sanity and for having hope for us all, maybe we can borrow it.
I live in the bay area, and this confirms i'm not friggin crazy.
I could have sworn i saw a pirate on the bart train one morning, but i was running on 2 hours of sleep so i thought I was trippin' .
I can only imagine. I used to live in the Bay Area. Usually we have to ignore weird sh*t. 😂😂😂
Lots of really weird stuff in bay/Bart area. Occultists/rituals, huge private libraries, people so strangely/ugly looking like goblins, other groups doing interesting things. Saw the most legit Russia agent guy I've ever seen. Te lawyers/judges seem to be on something. Very creepy artwork and behavior. Hooker areas with bad stuff going on, so much so that people just turn a blind eye to people needing help. Everything bizarre. Plus, Bohemian Grove. Worst are the new rich. They have the most terrible behavior to service staff, no shame about raging in public. Super low class terrible new rich behavior.. but the Pirate stuff and fights on trains I saw more of them in Toronto tbh. That's more normal and fewer substances.
I live in the Bay Area as well, and other than Beta Breakers and Folsom, thankfully, I’ve only been thrown off by a with her breasts hanging out holding a knife on BART.
"I hoped you wouldn't notice" - dropped me for like 5 minutes and as I recover Josh hits me with, "Sir, you came in here teeth first!"
Shades of pink coming at you. 😂🤣 I’m weak.
the second i saw the news i was wondering what josh would make of it
Benevolant Orb! You have a new subscriber!
Me too
yes... i second that
And I missed it! 😔
Me also, and I'm not even American and am not living in the States, yet I still wanted to know what he made of things...😮
Conversation is important. ❤ When we talk and laugh together, we build understanding . Thank you for sharing your talent Josh!
this young man is BRILLIANT.
45 whole minutes of Josh Johnson excellence!? Talk about feeling spoiled ❤
I really enjoy the lady's laugh. This set is awesome as well. I appreciate you taking time to acknowledge the scary but reassure us that we don't have to hit rock bottom before we change things.
You’re insane if you like the laugh
You rock Josh. Thanks for taking this opportunity to preach Peace.
Lady being picked up by the mic, ignore all these people. You're great. Real reactions mean everything. Josh watching this will be glad you're there. Keep being awesome.
👍👍
Facts so many hateful ass people acting like hearing her enjoying the show was a personal affront to them. As opposed to what it actually was which would be the fault of whoever set up the sound equipment. Which may well have been Josh for all we know. Imagine being so hateful that you can't let someone have they're joy if it inconveniences you.
Yeah, I’m very sensitive to noise and I could enjoy the video no problem. Listening to Josh I could tune her out. And it’s not her fault she was enjoying the show!
@@OBNOXIOUSBLA13Even if he set up the sound how would he know a big laugher would sit there. Id think a comedy club would have mic’s set up above the crowd. But ppl are going overboard with it. I’d hate to be that lady having no clue and reading some of the comments.
I was using it as focus practice. Like, you have to be good at keeping distractions out when you're on stage sometimes. I feel like I got to experience what he does when he's doin a set.
Wow!!! So appreciate Josh’s perspective! Yes we’re all Americans! 🇺🇸
"We dont have the grit." Omg, i lost it. 😂☠️🤣😅☠️🤣
I lost it.
Priceless 😂
So many good takes! Aside from being so funny- when Josh gets serious, he is dead on! I am very proud to hear someone young preaching understanding, taking a beat instead of mouthing off, giving grace, and caring for your fellow man ❤
Found Josh Johnson on The Daily Show, then TH-cam randomly recommended his stand-up. Now, I’m laughing so hard my neighbors think I’m running a comedy club. Thanks, algorithm!
You spoil us Josh and we appreciate every moment !❤
This was such a good non-partisan response/comedy bit. I've really enjoyed Josh's humor, but it's also refreshing to see a major personality just be so human.
Love your easy going conversational comedy. Your knowledge of when to pause for the most impact is incredible. Keep up the great work!
The dentist had the perfect opportunity to say he lost his tooth because he didn't floss, and he didn't take it. What a loss.
Pmg, that rhymed.
I really thought the joke was going to be "No, I asked if you were sore." (Not "are you sure?")
Don’t you mean, what a (f)loss? I’ll see myself out.
@@enriquekelly5275 god I love puns 😂❤
Okay. I’ll bite.
"We don't have the grit" 😂😂😂. Love you Josh ❤
“I’m just trying to figure out what Jodie doing…” 🤣🤣😂 Comedy gold!

@@yendyss And when that obnoxious person is doing that they are ruining it for those sitting around. Or if they are near the mic, for everyone listening to the recording.

Love the wise words of peace. Then the skillful pivot to humour, at just the right moment…
I just discovered you today young man! I am a fan! You are hilarious and sharp and clearly just an all around great young man.
I am a sixty- ummm something year old grandmother from a place in the hills of Tennessee that ain’t even on the map. Like, don’t bother asking Google Maps because they don’t know. What is important here is that if you or I went out today to find a new friend, we would not be looking in the same place. Yet, here we are. I have watched several of your videos now but this one….this one sealed the deal for me. I wish that every American could hear the things you had to say. Absolutely BRILLIANT. I hate to admit it, but, I was one of those yammering about omgoodness we’re done for! I have some hope. So maybe you just meant to be funny today. Maybe you just hoped for a big audience and you could entertain them for a little bit. What you gave me, that was hope. Things are scary out there nowadays. Too many spreading hate. You are the first one I’ve watched on tv in I don’t know how long, you sit, spread hope. We have to be really careful or we will let all the haters turn our country into something that none of us really want. Thank you young man! Keep it up! God bless you! God bless America.
Thank you Mr Johnson for keeping me laughing despite all the crap with America right now
Josh is genuinely funny and brilliant in his observations.
I like this young man.
The fact that he is clean is amazing.
Josh, it's rare to see such a thoughtful, intuitive comic. Absolutely love seeing your videos. Get down here to Lexington so I can show all my friends who I've been talking about!
