Look for Brent Weinbach's 2004 special "Appealing to the Mainstream" if you've never seen him- you really, really should. It was on Amazon Prime video last time I saw it available to stream. He is beyond bizarre, but, in a really great way.
Bro is a genius. Ty youtube for recommending. His style of awkward comedy, blue comedy and smart comedy is on point. The audience was great too. Bro never paused for a sec!!!!!!! One of the best!
100%. Can you imagine sitting and trying to come up with this routine?? Its bonkers, unless he does it all off the top of his head which is even more insane
I watch comedy every evening after a long day- and there's been more medicinal value from that than any doctor or specialist I've been to. Just spent the last hour alone, per the usual, but actually laughing out loud and re-watching several parts. He's got something which I haven't seen in the majority of comedians...and I love it. The last part took me by surprise, and really 'hit home'. He's at the top of my long, long list. AMAZING. THANK YOU!!!!!!
I was just scrolling through comic vids and stumbled upon this gem! I laughed so hard when he started doing reggae that I had to shut it off for ten minutes so I could regain my composure. Funniest comic I've ever watched by a long shot! Hope he comes to Tucson!
His comedic timing is MAGICAL!!! My goodness, it was hilarious from start to finish (rare) WHEN. IS. THE TOUR?!?! Come to Atlanta (or upload more standup to hold us over until he tours)! Edit: just finished the special and am bawling. He seems so pure & I'm sure his mama is proud 💚💚💚
Sober joke is one of the best I’ve heard. I cannot believe how good this special is or how I haven’t heard of him… absolutely brilliant special. 10s all round. Thank you.
Chris Fairbanks you had me in STITCHES 😂😂 for 54 minutes straight - I was laughing so much I had cramps, and the last 15 seconds you had me in tears 😭 😭 that was magnificent!!! 👍 👍
I've never heard of this guy, but he made me legitimately laugh a few times which despite my love of comedy doesn't always happen. Hope to see more from him soon.
@@danielvalleduarte Yeah sorry that's a terrible and confusing sentence I put together. I was just saying that even though I love comedy and consume a metric f%#k -ton of it, I don't usually laugh. Fairbanks got a few legit laughs out of me. Usually I'll sit through a whole hour of comedy enjoying it, but not laughing.
This was a wonderful set. Hes way smarter than I look. Clever. Dry. sharp. I loved it all. >>>. Rescue Cactus ?? Good grief. Solid all the way. I will watch this again. Thanks. Chris .
I listen to A LOT of stand up. This guy made me laugh till i was cried! Then a couple minutes later, HE F*****G DID IT AGAIN! thanks man, you made me very happy!!
More reggae!!! Lmao! And so many great jokes. And the end was so real - and I cried with him at the end. And he pulled it together. And I love him so much.
This was the third time I’ve listened all the way through… and it’s still one of my faves. Lots of laughs. Cannot wait to see more of Chris’s comedy in the future.
What a legend! I should NOT have watched this while eating dinner. Almost choked to death multiple times. I listen to a pretty wide variety of comedians, and Chris is the second best I've ever heard. Also, his smile is just so kind and infectious. Almost a Steve Carrell vibe going on?
I first read this comment as referencing a "ROGAN joke" and wondered if you meant it was a bit _about_ Joe Rogan (I hoped) or one that you claimed was cribbed from Rogan's old stand-up material? I was about to find this comment again and ask you what the joke was, in moderate frustration. The expectation of maybe hearing a good bit clowning on Joseph Rogan kept me interested in finishing this whole special even though I'm tired, and I'm still going to blame _you_ for that. I was ready for a rumble in the comments section (dangit!) but instead I'm going to put on a podcast that is definitely not exclusive to Spotify and go to sleep. Pffft!
This guy demands you pay attention and trust him with his flow. I'd wager he is meticulous in his writing. Face paced, silly, awkward, with well placed tripwires. Love it!!
Wow! He is really something else, totally original, and his imagination is just.. You'll maybe hesitate in the beginning, but he's constantly increasingly funny!
When he asks to come in, "or can I?" is at the same time so wildly poignant and vulnerable while the brave smile at the end to hedge her inevitable response is a masterful choice. It is my favorite comedic line delivery and writing I've seen since the eighties. The fact that Chris hasn't been exploited for his amazing comedic acting is a testament to Hollywood's dysfunction and ineffectuality. More mid budget real-concept comedy and more Chris.
I dont know how I've never heard of you, this set was absolute fire, so dam funny. And then ending about your mom was a beautiful moment, thanks for making me feel good
It is definitely a lot of both. I believe he has a demented mind which produces the humor but then he has to practice like crazy in order to be so smooth in front of an audience.He is 100% original and I loved this routine. My only regret is that I can't find anymore of his act anywhere. I would buy a hard copy CD if I could find it at all I can find are MP3 downloads. I really hope he is working on another special. I loved how the audience seem to stay with him and appreciate his unusual take on things. Seems like if he had a bad show and did not connect with the audience he could be heckled mercilessly
As a white dude (without dreads) that used to front a reggae band.. I laughed so hard at that reggae bit, i've come back to it so many times when i've needed a smile, thanks so much man
I really enjoyed this...quirky, funny, completely original. Offbeat pacing, but perfectly on time. I bet Lynn Fairbanks felt so proud of this talented lad.
Met Chris on flight from PDX to LAX last night and he's such a down to earth, cool dude. After watching this 1HR special, I'm honored to know that I've met one of the funniest comics in America. From the fishing story to the reggae joke, this was non-stop pure comedy genius. Please make sure you watch the entire video. I promise you'll thank me.
Imagine how painful this show would have been if he was bombing, I feel like he would still commit to the material no matter what. Is "esoteric" the word I'm looking for? 😄
So funny I've watched it three times! Had to share it with my family! Hilarious! The audience's laughter is almost as funny! So sorry about his Mom...🌹😭😭😭
That ending though... I"m the same age as Chris and feel the same way; get choked up about it just the same as well. This was a great special! Ending it with Red Fang is pretty awesome, too! Stoner rock gang!

Chris Fairbanks is a special comedian. Everyone cherish this man.
Did not expect tears at the end of a comedy special, what a beautiful message, what an incredible talent.
Hands down the most original act I have seen in 10 years. Bravo to the comedian!
FOR EFFIN REAL DUDE!! this was amazing!!!!!

@@orestbala7722 it’s an act, he’s been doing this for 10+ years. Check out his side wind dummy episodes

Stellar special, great style, relentless funny.
I wasn't expecting such a sweet ending. This was so good. Hope to see more of this guy really soon!

Check out his podcast Do You Need A Ride. Just found it and have been bingeing
@@jessicaforrester2638 👍🏼 thanks

That ending though.... Broke my heart. But I agree- the best way to get through a tough time is to try to better the day of someone around you.
I can't believe I've never heard of him! He is the best. ❤

Loved Darkwood
This is an absolute comedy masterpiece. I watch a lot of standup and this is without doubt the best I’ve ever seen.
So good. No words can truly describe how much I loved this
Absolutely superb! Could listen to Chris all day.
This was a wonderful set. Hes way smarter than I look. Clever. Dry. sharp. I loved it all.
>>>. Rescue Cactus ?? Good grief. Solid all the way. I will watch this again. Thanks. Chris .
I listen to A LOT of stand up. This guy made me laugh till i was cried! Then a couple minutes later, HE F*****G DID IT AGAIN! thanks man, you made me very happy!!
That ending... so powerful. Thanks for being a bit of joy in the world
So naturally funny and fluent! Amazing work👏 Also, did anyone notice himself in the audience at 40:43 lmao what a guy 🤣
I was wondering about that! lol
One of the few comedians who has caused me to have uncontrollable, bust-out laughter in a while. Truly hilarious. Honestly original.
When TH-cam recommends greatness. :) Awesome special!
it was sure due.
One of the most unique sets I've seen all year. Super hilarious stuff Chris!
Been a fan of you for years, but just now saw your Rescue Cactus Special. So awesome. Love you Chris Fairbanks!!!
That opening is so relatable it hurts
This is my favorite comedian. So ridiculously talented!
Loved it!!! So funny & I hope I can find more comedy from this guy. Thank you for making me laugh so hard. I totally needed that!
I just finished watching this straight. Im going to now go watch it with a gummie, i cant wait!😂
You made me laugh and then you made me cry in a way I'm grateful for. Thank you being so vulnerable, honest, and wonderfully funny❤️
More reggae!!! Lmao! And so many great jokes. And the end was so real - and I cried with him at the end. And he pulled it together. And I love him so much.
Chris Fairbanks os my new favorite comedian! The “follow your dreams” bit is AMAZING
Imaginative. Very impressive. I’m going to watch this a few times.
Thanks Chris!!! You are a courageous performer, giving in your style, and creative on stage. Well done :)
This was the third time I’ve listened all the way through… and it’s still one of my faves. Lots of laughs. Cannot wait to see more of Chris’s comedy in the future.
Had me crying and choking on my food from both pain and laughter 🤣

I have so many questions 😅 I laughed, cried, and snotted 😂 I needed this. Thank you.
The Reggae joke absolutely destroys my sister and I and we quote it back and forth to each other constantly!
It took a little selling, but I bought it about 90 seconds in. Power of commitment to the bit!
Pictures or it didn't happen! 😂
24:15 on repeat
MOUNT ZION! MOUNT ZI-ON!

Best comedian I ever heard, and I am 58. Funny as heck!!!
By far the best comedy intro ever!!
I can’t stop watching your special. Laugh every time thru the whole thing. You are special 😂
Fantastic special, clever and original. The ending was incredibly heartfelt and wonderful, thank you.
This guy demands you pay attention and trust him with his flow. I'd wager he is meticulous in his writing.
Face paced, silly, awkward, with well placed tripwires. Love it!!
The reggae portion had me in TEARS!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was a journey! Wow great set
this guy has me in tears he's so damn funny
I want to see more of this man I think he just became one of my fav comedians
Amazing show and a powerful finish. Thanks, Chris Fairbanks.

That Reggae joke is my favorite. I laughed so hard. The comedian is super funny
This was a delight.
I've shown soooo many people this dude. That reggae bit kills me man 😂
Haven’t lol’d this hard in a minute & I listen to a lot of stand up. You rule Chris!
Damn... this guy.. I'm tryin' to breathe.. What a set. You, sir, are a force of comic nature.
I really enjoyed this...quirky, funny, completely original. Offbeat pacing, but perfectly on time. I bet Lynn Fairbanks felt so proud of this talented lad.
This was excellent!!! ❤
best intro i ever saw on one of these :D
Pure chaos. Hilarious!
Very funny! Unique refreshing style!
Thank you for making me laugh ❤
I love this guy!

Omg starting at the reggae singing, you began to take me out 😩😂 just kept getting better & better lol Ty
So good, he is funny in a multi dimensional way.
JUST A VAGUE MENTION OF A LION. I'm jamaican and that shit was fucking hilarious
This might be the best comedy I've heard in 15 years. And the end...phew...
Great delivery, very clever, different, refreshingly funny.
What a wholesome way to finish a great routine :')
i bet you´re holesome huh
It's funny seeing comedians holding back their laughter at their own acts or when they're thinking about the next part and laugh
Chris is one of the funniest comics I met in my life. He's a super nice guy. @51:45 made me tear up. Bravo Chris!
Man, this hurt my ribs. This fellow is a genuine nervous wreck! I love it. Solid audience as well and they got the owl jokes somehow
Imagine how painful this show would have been if he was bombing, I feel like he would still commit to the material no matter what. Is "esoteric" the word I'm looking for? 😄
So funny I've watched it three times! Had to share it with my family! Hilarious! The audience's laughter is almost as funny! So sorry about his Mom...🌹😭😭😭
This is some God level stand up right here 😎 Thanks for this fam
great stuff!!! hope to see you live on stage soon.
I love this guy.
Unique delivery and a fantastic set! Hope to hear more!
Loved it 😅
Holy shit. Incredible energy and amazingly creative. His stamina is crazy.
2024 Aug, What a Talent !!! A Gem ! So much so quick , gonna watch it again !!
amazing ! so well done.
Randomly seeing him in the audience got me.
Same here, I had to roll it back and watch again hahaha
Good stuff!😄
Especially the look of disgust on his face at his own act. Genius!
dudes hilarious how am i only now hearing of him, thanks soder
"An albatross, or a seagull that took really good care of itself" had me crying with laughter.
This should have way more views Holy f***
Great set and profound words of wisdom at the end Chris
Brother you are amazing!
That ending though... I"m the same age as Chris and feel the same way; get choked up about it just the same as well. This was a great special! Ending it with Red Fang is pretty awesome, too! Stoner rock gang!
Absolutely beautiful...
40:42 This got me. It's just so random.
you sir are a legend. your mom is proud. GJ
Beer waste is a SIN and this man is a doing gods work.
Well damn man that was the best set ever. Keep it up Bro💯❤️👑💪🏿
"You're at a funeral, you know it's powdered legs!"
Well done!👍
