You're da best Chris. Happy TG to yous and yours.👍
Dude happy Thanksgiving
It’s like the ghost of history hyenas came to hunt you Chrissy 😂😂😂 that was amazing! I’ll see you in Reno.
You did great babe! That laugh got more ominous the longer it went on.
I just shared this on FACEBOOK my grandma going to laugh harder than that douche bag 💼😂😂😂💪🏾
That guy laughing is actually Joaquin Phoenix keeping his Joker skills tight.
That dude is 100% acting like the joker on purpose. He overdid it by a lot
I feel the same way, he’s like a weirdo that thinks it’s cool to pretend like he’s the joker…. Because he kept doing that bert kreisher thing where he laughs so “hard” but could just stop it right away and answer the questions Chris was asking him
@@Haze2121 pseudobulbar affect look it up. its just a thing i think
@@Zzzinnnits real, its a gift and a curse 🤣
I thought the same😊
I was there and cannot stress how distracting and hilarious this dude’s laugh was. THE WHOLE SHOW! Insane. Chris was incredible. You could see him trying to hold it together despite this pterodactyl.
That’s hilarious but also incredibly frustrating, was he also doing that during the openers set?
Part of you doesnt think he was heckling Chris in his own way?
Not funny at all. The guy is a joker wannabe virgin
@@cgtz9526 He definitely had to be, theres parts where you can tell hes increasing the volume of his laugh during silence.
He had to be vying for attention or something. He was cackling during parts that Chris wasn’t even trying to be funny or setting stuff up. Others would be silent and he would be losing it. What a douche
The fact he was so annoyed and heavily distracted and barely holding it together made this so hilarious to me, when he tries to sincerely do a bit about something else, but just can't ignore this guy is the best part😂😂😂
Enough about Chris. Props to the guy for rolling with the jabs and laughing through the roasts. What a good sport.
So true- a real mensch…though it was unfortunate that he was in the front row. 11:43
yeah, I seriously don't know if I could handle getting roasted like that without taking it personally. at a certain point, the jokes just became abusive. not even funny. i get the comic was annoyed, but that dude was still a paying fan who wanted to come out and support him. kind of unfair for the comic to constantly talk about "how good of a job he's doing" by continuing to do his job and disparage the guy so much.
a bit pompous.
imagine anyone in any other profession unrelentlessly complaining about the conditions of the workplace to a customer they're actively serving, while putting another down who's within earshot. a bit off-putting to the non-problematic customer.
i thought this would be an 18min portion of his act but it was really only 4 mins of jokes and 14 mins of ranting. hard to sympathize after 6mins as the "crowd work" became increasingly vicious. good lord.
If he wanted to support the comic, he could be a LITTLE more self conscious about his fucking crying grandma impression. That is awful
@@xxBrokenDreams666xxabusive? It's comedy, u infant.
i mean comedy is very subjective, to me this seems like a guy shitting on everyone with jokes, theres a audience that loves it including the guy with the annoying laugh @@MsJdunham
We should buy that guy front row season tickets to all Joe Derosa's comedy shows.😂
diabolical. love it
LMFAO
I'd chip in to get him some tickets to Jimmy Carr.
I'd pay to see that fight, I mean, Reaction!
@@shadowprince4482
Plot twist, that was Jimmy Car💀
They should send this guy to Matt Rife shows.
He wouldn't laugh, though
*_Matt Rife just exists_*
Women: “OMG he’s sooooo funny”
Matt Rife is hilarious! He's quick and witty. I know people have different senses of humor, but there's a reason he has sold out shows through next year and it ain't simply just because he's a good looking guy. Not to say that doesn't play a part of it because it does, but he's a solid comedian and millions of people agree. So to say he isn't funny as a blanket statement isn't true. He's simply just not funny TO YOU, and that's ok 😀
@@nickadkins7765He only does "crowd work"
@@nickadkins7765ok Matt rifes burner account….
Imagine having to throw away virtually all of your material and completely adlib your show like this. Amazing. 😂
Chris! My husband and I were at this show for our anniversary! You killed it! Thank you for making it through!
This is a masterclass in composure, patience, showmanship, improv skills Bravo sir. The public speaking skills are impressive.
I’m watching this after the Bills game and I’m trying not to cry & laugh at the same time
@@Billsbillsbillsbills they blew it?
I haven’t laughed this hard in forever. Sitting here alone on Turkey Day, I needed this.
Been there. At least ya got a laugh in there
Hey buddy, there's a bunch of us sitting by ourselves today so in that regard, you are not alone. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving brother
Happy thanksgiving homie. Sometimes it’s better that way anyway. Sometimes.
💜💜 happy thanksgiving!
It was hard to finish the whole video. Dude's laugh was just piercing and clear. I donxt know how Chrissy D made it all the way through that set. Very, very impressive comedy chops.
I swear Chris DeStefano is the most underrated comedian in America. The more frustrated he gets the funnier this clip gets. 😂
Whats a couple of his best jokes?
@@Allenmarshallhe’s just a funny guy
That is the worst laugh of all time but also hilarious 😂
seemed like he was doing it on purpose in some of the shots they focused in his direction.
So baddd lol
It's like a fox bred with Mickey Mouse
I can confirm what Chris said, not every comedian can handle that. I worked at a comedy club in New York City and a few years ago before the pandemic a headliner was in the same situation, a woman sat in the front row and her laugh was just as bad as this guy; she sounded like a dolphin every time she laughed. And the comedian stopped his set and didn’t know how to handle it and asked her to leave because she was distracting him. Security came and walked her and her husband out and even as she was walking out she was laughing sounding like a dolphin in distress. So Kuddos to you Chris you are a true professional 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Just curious what’s the name of that comedian?
Your answer will only exist in this one comment thread on one video
His name was Mark Normand. @@Nothin2C_1
What would we do without your comment???!
Awe I'd feel so bad if someone got kicked out for laughing. They should have gave her a pillow lol.
@@Nothin2C_1 nothing ever just stays in the comments! Lol…..his initials are AR that's all i’ll say. He's a nice guy and I’m sure he’s gotten better since then I think at the time he was just beginning to headline comedy clubs.
This comic is a master - he was spot on when he said "not every comedian can do what I'm doing here tonight." So true. He could have been and should have been so angry, but he flipped it and made it a huge win for himself. So impressive. This is how to handle difficulty. If only I could do the same in so many lesser situations. In fact I just quit my job last week because of other people's shit.
Don't worry brotha you'll be better and it's all with trying and learning what works and what doesn't, you got this , you'll be at a better place no matter what! Just next time , don't let your emotions control your reaction , think of the bigger picture , God bless and one day hope to do what Chris is doing on stage to help others like you going through tough times 🙌
This is the best “on the spot” comedic performance ever - to be able to spin things to make it funny and keep things going while your bit is being interrupted by that guy….and twist it around in being amazing is genius. God bless whoever gets their car worked on by that guy
I was there, it was so bad. We thought someone brought a baby at first. I seriously thought Chris was gonna walk off stage, he was so annoyed but he pulled off a great set. This was my first time seeing Chris live and I'll never forget it thanks to this maniac...
Haha did he edit out the parts that's were more harsh? Based off him saying "it's been 45 minutes" whilst the video isn't anywhere near that, I wonder what he cut out xD
Why is everyone so emotionless about the poor guy who can't help how he laughs? The way you talk about him is DISGUSTING. You will get your lesson from God soon, trust me
@@Sinekyre14😭😭😂
@@Sinekyre14god ?
God doesn’t love you or the man who laughs like a dying goose
You didn't ask him to leave or exclude him, didn't get rude. You sir are a class act all the way. Thought I couldn't love your comedy more, this is how we should treat each other. We're all here laughing about the situation, it made the best content! Win win!
“Didn’t get rude.”
He immediately called him a retard, a mutant, and the product of incest and later theorized what would happen if he was beheaded. Mocked him for being single and said is laugh was drying up every pussy in the room. Chris handled it great, but let’s be accurate here lol
Literally made him part of the act the guy probably loved it
@@jameshill8493he definitely loved it lmao dude was a riot the whole time
Didn't get rude? What if someone called you retarted, serial killer, ugly, and so on in public?
lol only because it was being recorded. I'd bet on that.
This is insane 😂😂 it’s so consistent it almost sounds like a recording lmao how did he not stop laughing for one second the entire show?
Mental illness.
Dude. I had anxiety from watching this. Lol. Hats off to you dude, you definitely can tell you raised a couple of kids to have that type of tolerance
Man Chris. You absolutely crushed with that dude. He was rolling at everything you said.
Chrissy Crushes over here
Like a self-feeding challenge. The better he did the harder it got!!! 😂😂
Man I almost feel bad for this guy lmao. He legit can’t stop. Too funny man
it's not even enjoyable when youre laughing that hard. He must be exhausted
he definitely can stop, he just doesnt want to. attention is a drug
I’ve had the giggles before but if I were being that disruptive I probably would’ve excused myself a long time ago and composed myself
@@nffctricketthell yeah it is, I mean this set would get me there. But they call it being “in stitches” for a reason. I have a normal laugh though.
His cramped laughter is from trauma. Thats why the joker character had this laugh in the movie. Anyone who makes fun of him is scum. He can't help it
Dude couldn’t even face that side of the stage he was so frustrated 😂 dude props for holding it together
I am in tears watching this, no exaggeration. So funny! After the long day I've had, this is exactly what I needed to see while stuck in a hotel in the middle of BFE Georgia... Totally turned my frown upside down :)
Your patience is even better than your top notch comedy. Very impressive
Truth
He has 3 kids and a Puerto Rican wife. Lots of practice. 😅
As someone with a loud, obnoxious laugh, that is the loudest, most obnoxious laugh I’ve ever heard. You rock Chrissy.
Every person that enjoys comedy needs to see this. If I was getting roasted this bad I'm not sure I could have kept laughing. lol
I'm so glad this was filmed. Chris handled this like a champ
Handled what like a champ? Some guy with a silly laugh think your stuff is funny? Wow PoOr CrIsSY 🙄
I was two rows behind that guy. Glad to be apart of this historic Chrissy Chaos moment!
Was it that Loud in the Club?
@@reanukeevesauit was!
So no one got an answer as to why he laughs like that?
@@Danno.scientists can't even agree why we laugh in the first place. So no.
It seemed like he was laughing at moments that are not the funny parts.
This is so fucking funny hahahaha
Bro was hangin on for dear life but he ninja’d his way thru it lmao but peep how red his face is lol he was under maximum psi before complete meltdown. Lol 😂😂❤
My head hurts just as bad as Chrissy’s. You’ll never convince me in a million years that was a real laugh the whole time.
Attention seeking. Shame he felt the need to disrupt the entire room instead of just bothering a customer at a cafe or something instead.
@@musicmaven3149 right 😂
the only thing i can think of to explain it would be he is on mushrooms, the giggles on mushrooms are unstoppable, but even still im not convinced either lol.
@@jasonjoore6782 maybe if you’re a first timer lol
Clearly the man was autistic
Dude.....very few comics in the world could do what you did. Amazing work.
That guy should be hired to laugh at rivals, pubic gatherings, weddings and the produce section at the local supermarket. Brutal.
OMG 😂😂😂 that's a hysterically brilliant idea! This guy would mind fuck anybody 😅
What is a pubic gathering
Send to Matt Rifes Shows!
I’ve never been to a pubic gathering
Whenever I’m in a comedy club in the future and I’m worried if I’m laughing too loud, I’ll remember this man 😂
Nah don't worry, most people blend right in with the laughs. This video just highlights a extreme case and makes us paranoid lol. Most of us "crowd laugh"
The amount of emotions through this video is wild. Obviously Chris is hilarious and then the guy is clearly annoying and then you just feel bad for the guy because he's the real life joker. Then Chris wonderfully ties it all together and its fun again
That was great. I’m so glad it was caught on film. And thanks to TH-cam’s platform. These kind of moments get their shine and Chris De Steffano the man as always.
what's truly impressive is the nuance with which you handled this, Chrissy
didn't punch down in a mean way but gave him shit you knew he'd still find funny
I agree on it being impressive and get what you mean, but “didn’t punch down”? Lol. He called the dude a retard, a mutant, and the product of incest.
This feels like a Ben Stiller movie, but it's real life - absolutely insane situation. You also handled it perfectly! Well done, and made me laugh the entire time as well, that is some serious comedy chops right there.
Literally a Ben Stiller movie lmfao
@@dontknow3949no not literally
I genuinely don't know how the hell you persisted through this. The strength of character is more than evident. Bravo, man. You've always had my laughs and respect, but that shit has more than multiplied tenfold.
Chrissy Chaos! living up to his name. Without a little chaos every once in a while life would be boring. Thank you for creating laughter that I definitely need at this moment.
This might rival Bill Burr's Philidelphia show for difficulty level. The level of comedic mastery shown here is outstanding. The struggle is so evident. How he figures his way through this show on his toes is beyond me. Bravo!
Bill burr still holds the trophy
I feel like Bill and Chris keep the show going for the exact opposite reasons. It seems like with Chris that he feels the show's audience paid him, were understanding, and he really wanted to see if he could hold the room's attention and turn it into a good set, which he did. Bill went scorched earth and didn't care what anyone in the audience thought of his set. He was at "Fuck each one of you specifically" levels of over the crowd's horse shit by the end. Bill was staying on stage as a punishment and a middle finger to how horrible they were being to the previous acts. Chris just wants to put on a good show and see if he can pull it off. I'm sure he doesn't want to deal with refunding and all the headaches involved with that, too. (At least that's my take on how they acted and what they said in the moment and talking about it later.)
One of the strongest stand-up performances I've ever seen - I laughed like a rabid hyena. And just when I thought that very few people could do that to this guy like he did, Chris later voiced the same thought. Just a standing ovation and Bravo to Chris and this nice guy whose laughter will be in our heads for life.
You guys have bad taste in comedy. It was funny for a couple minutes then it just got rude.
@@theshoes7488well, the authority on comedy has spoken.
@@maxcampbell8965😂😂😂😂
This is an instant classic and I’ll be wearing this clip out. This is gold.
That's one of the best closers I've ever seen in standup and I am a middle act comedian from Charlotte who has performed and watched at least 2,000 shows combined. It wasn't hysterical, but he made it work. You have truly grown into yourself Chris and I've enjoyed watching it happen. Keep up the good work! I hope I reach your level someday.
This is by far the best crowd work special I’ve ever seen! That guy’s laughter was contagious on my end!
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Literally holding my gut, crying. You are a true professional. This is exactly what teaching Jr. High school is like.
13:08 We were the couple he was talking to lol.. glad he put that convo in cause it was a great experience nonetheless! He did amazing with that guy right there in his ear! ❤ we love you Chrissy!
This reminds me when Robin Williams was doing inside actors studio I believe, but there was this lady who was laughing obnoxiously louder than every one and a little longer than every one. He stops and talks to her directly, making her laugh even harder and just owning the improvisational moment.
The despair in his face while he's processing that this is gonna be the whole show at 0:28 and the anger at 0:48 when he accepts he's insulting him isn't gonna work 😂😂😂
This was almost hard to get through just watching 😂 You guys are pros! Happy Thanksgiving babes
I never comment on TH-cam videos, but this video should have 100 million views. Chris D is a fkn legend
I’m a very patient and understanding person. I’m overly nice to a fault. I put up with way more than I should, and do anything to avoid confrontation. It takes a LOT for me to snap. And when I tell you I would SNAP 😂 I was waiting any moment for it to happen for you
This is absolutely insane. This is going to go down in comedy history!
Chrissy D handled that so well. I don't know that I would have had the same patience.....even if I was just a fan in the crowd. 😆
I know i would legit be mad lmao
I laughed so hard at this, I pee’d my pants. Chris handled this so well despite his discomfort and vague irritation.😂😂😂
Fantastic adaptation!!!! True professionalism. Well done, Sir!
Dude I was in literal tears, this might be the funniest piece of content you’ve ever put out. Thank you 🤣
"Content"...? 😆 Wtf???
@@ThatTempesTGuyhuh? I agree and can’t think of any recent content that is this uniquely fun
That laugh is insane. I don't know how you didn't make him leave
He is a professional....
@treverdrew6993 most professionals would've made him leave. With that said, Chris did a GREAT job handling it. I didn't hate the guy, he was having a good time. But also, come on man lol
That just seems wrong. You're there to laugh, the comic WANTS YOU to laugh, so kicking him out feels wrong. Give him something to muffle that shit, but let him stay
@@aliengranpaThis shit is equivalent to heckling in my opinion. It completely derailed the show and if Chris decided to walk out, it would have ruined the show for everyone in the room. The fact he could just stop laughing as soon as Chris asked him a question (which Chris called him on btw) just shows it's just attention seeking behavior. Everyone there was lucky Chris was feeling generous that night. He chose to give 1 person the night of their life and the attention they were looking for, but in a way the rest of the room could have some fun too.
@@aliengranpa The comic wants you to LAUGH. Not scream like a retard for an hour straight uncontrollably. That guy derailed any jokes Chris had for the audience. 15 minutes in the guy was laughing with the same energy and Chris was still talking about him. Would feel somewhat like a waste of money to watch a comedian just roast a laugh for an hour straight. To each his own though.
First time I've heard anything from you, but you have my respect forever for this! It's not the dudes fault he has such an abrasive laugh - I would have felt bad for him if you threw him out. But fair play you have used it to your advantage. Absolutely brilliant!
This is Chrissy’s Burr-Philly moment. The already upward trajectory of his career is about to catapult another ten-fold. Comedy gold right here
😅🤣 wild stretch there. Diff stakes I would say. Burrs crowd hated him and he said the most awful shit he could think of and ended up winning them over. Not sure this will move the needle for Chris although deff a fun watch! Well done Chris!
@@JRDirt88 Yea agree but I'm sure there's a ven diagram that'd fit 😅
Was going to say the same. Different scenario for sure, but both were a master of their craft turning a difficult situation around into something great.
that was gold, only a mechanic could take 20 mins of pure abuse and laugh through like an absolute maniac through it all. Holy shit that was so funny
I’m lonely on thanksgiving. Needed this. Comedy is all about giving someone a laugh when they need it the most. And chris, you just did that. Thank you
Just went thru a break up for the holidays...much love babe!
@@angelastake2420Oof, that's rough, sorry you're going through that, and to the OP, I hope you're able to laugh some more and enjoy the rest of your evening, sorry you had to be alone. And sorry for your breakup (unless you wanted out of it, in which case I'd be happy for you lol)
Much love to the both of y'all 🙂✌️💚
Thx James. It's all about the love and support and best of all, the LAUGHTER that gets us through it all! 😖🤪🤣
Lmfao males showing weakness, get in here boys. We got a live one!
Do you need a little hanky-poo to blow your sad holiday boogies in? 😂😂😢😢😢😮😅😊🎉❤
I love Chris. Comedy needs him more than he needs comedy. Thank you for being such a great comedian and human being.
The guy is definitely mental. No way a normal person with a laugh like that would stay knowing he's disrupting everyone
Someone pay to sit this man front row at every Jimmy Carr show
Oh man, even Jimmy would be delighted at first, then possibly a little annoyed, and then he'd just turn all of his comedic energy onto roasting that guy's life and his laugh 😂😂😂
The fact that you made it through that hour is insane, getting through the 20 was wild. fuckin incredible
I hadn’t laughed like this in a long time, thank you both
Absolutely amazing how you flipped this! Laughed my ass off!
This will live on FOREVER AND EVER in the comic community
Man, this is proof you’re a professional Chrissy. Imagine if this happened in your first couple years doing comedy hahaha
Oh so this is the proof? Not the selling out theatres and arenas? Lmao
@@thedonofthsht76-58you like to argue
@@thedonofthsht76-58Weird little excuse for a man
@@thedonofthsht76-58I sprayed the back of my toilet with poop while reading this
Watched you live in Florida with the women that sat in front row that you thought was Latina and when she told you she wasn’t and you responded something along the lines “your plastic surgery says otherwise” I could not stop laughing.
One of the best sets from any comedian I've ever seen.
I think I laughed like that once when I did Salvia in a friend's apartment and had a laughing seizure in a recliner while thinking about Anne Frank.
Anne Frank and Salvia go hand-in-hand
More like weed and Anne Frank… Frankenhuise is in the heart of Amsterdam
Was this in Erie PA
@@bushwickbill3643 Orlando, Florida, 2009.
Another friend did an even bigger rip and he wasn't seated. He went full Sloth from the Goonies and started drooling while laughing and then collapsed to his knees while hitting his forehead on the table and breaking the table. We all played football.
Chrissy balling his fist like Arthur when he wished the guy died had me rolling 😂😂😂
I truly hope that someone records that laughh and plays it randomly at future shows only at the the end of bits to show their appreciation
This is like watching the pros play in terrible weather, the best rise to the top. Just amazing work.
This is one of the most insane things I've seen in a long time, you're a legend Chris
OH! MY! GOD!... I was in tears the whole time, literally crying. Thank you for sharing, keep kicking ass out there , hope to see you in Miami.
How can he laugh nonstop like that😂Even the quiet moments he was still laughing like it was the funniest joke ever. 😂
He likely had a laugh attack. I’ve had them last up to 1.5 hrs. Very rare but you can’t stop laughing super hard no matter what. It’s like a domino effect in the brain and it hurts and u want it to stop but it only gets worse.
Great job sir! The patience that you had was incredible hats off to you and your super funny while you're distracted still that's true talent
I thought a baby was crying on my flight. I kept turning up my headphones. 😂
OMG 😂I JUST finally finished laughing from this clip then I read your comment and now I'm HOWLING again 😂 It's rare for a comment to make me laugh so hard but I've been in that situation on a plane and it's brutal while it happens but oh man.....my face and stomach hurt again, that was perfect 😂😂
I was crying! I never thought I would laugh harder than the guy with no arms, but you killed it with this one!!!! Amazing
Chris, the way you handled this challenge wipes Bill Burr’s Philadelphia story right off the map.
A star is born ⭐️
No it fucking doesn’t, get the fuck outta here
Same ballpark for sure
This was the best stand up I have seen in the past 400 days. Props to both these guys. I actually saw Chris live before he had any fame and was blown away. Never had I seen a no name comedian and thought they were gonna be big. But I did that night. So happy you're seeing success!
Legendary performance under pressure. You’re a beast Chrissy!
THIS is what FUNNY ART looks and sounds like - absolutely a master
Yo Chrissy this is probably my favorite clip of comedy content on TH-cam this year!!! Wow there is some funny clips with Kill Tony but man the poise & control you had then bashing at him then rolling with it was just hilarious!! Props to you man I hope to you see you live one day! This one of those videos where you gotta watch it more than once just to brighten your mood up 😂😂
That was absolutely hilarious and masterfully done. And killer final joke 😂👏🏽
Id like to think it was Joaquin Phoenix in the crowd getting ready for Joker 2
Seriously
Chris is a legend for how well he handled this and how funny on the spot he was with it this was some A+ comedic work
You need to get this guy on podcasts and tours. Make it the 60 minute challenge for your warm ups
Thanks for sharing. I watch a fair amount of standup, and this is my favorite of 2023. So freaking awkward... an experience for sure 😅❤
OMG i am laughing so hard at this. He complains but damn this is comedy gold from the comedy gods.
Respect for sticking it out Chris! You are awesome
Chrissy Crowdwork killed it with this one. Love you, sir. Your patience on stage and how comfortable you are up there is incredible. Can’t wait for you to come to Albuquerque!!!
I can ONLY imagine the the predicament…Kudos, Chris D, kudos!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The determination to pull through! The faith of the audience, for you! One of a kind moment!
Damn Chris you deserve all the praises after that! Stuck in there for over 45 minutes. I feel like if it were anyone else they’d probably walk off
What a legendary clip Chris! I love how you talked yourself to stay on 😂 Unreal skill of a veteran!
