As an open mic one liner comic with around 200 gigs I can tell you that Stephen is a once in a generation genius. The material is nowhere near as important as how Stephen has crafted his persona. The delivery, pauses, expressions, timing and presence are brilliant. Crafting one line gags is very difficult but every word is relevant...like adding 'basic' to the stool gag giving it the perfect ending. For me, Stephen is up there with Stewart Francis and Gary Delaney and I wish him the success he deserves.
just watched some of your stand up here on YT, your not bad. I liked the herpes joke about your wifes veg, and the prostate thumbs up one made me laugh too. i like your jokes.
@@seanfrank32 Rodney, no one can replicate Dangerfield, his lines were great, not always incredible, but his expressions and self deprecation were gold. Another that can't possibly be matched was Foster Brooks, beyond hilarious act, and he was almost better during the Celebrity Roasts, than his typical acts. The way he would look at huge, mega stars like Dean Martin as if he couldn't figure out who they were or why they were there.
Hahaha I absolutely love frasier and I’ve watched it to the point of not hearing the audience anymore but you’ve just reminded me what they used to sound like when I first started watching it
I have to say, the first time I ever seen this, I was in stitches. The jokes are funny but it’s his face and his delivery and the long pauses that makes it. 😂
Some of these one liners are genius. Great comedian. And a perfect crowd to be honest, he even tells them they're mental and they laugh. Makes even better viewing.
And some of these one liners are stolen from both Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg. He needs to stop using those jokes and stick to his own. It's not cool to steal other peoples jokes for laughs.
It takes a bloody good comedian to deliver lines like that, and this guys next level, he just looks so comfortable with it, IMO absolutely Stephen nailed it
Exactly what I was thinking! Bleeding wackjobs were laughing everytime he paused for longer than half a second, I gave up half way through, they were doing my nut.
I live how he does the set-up so well that everyone already gets the joke and starts laughing...then he calmly finishes the joke anyway and gets them laughing again.
I usually think of myself as someone who doesn't laugh out loud. But I had my notebook on my belly while I was watching this guy and the notebook was jerking up and down. Hmm, that sounded better when I said it inside my head.
@@joncampbell7297 I love laughing as well, but I only laugh as intensely as something is funny. What the guy means is that the crowd is laughing at a lot of the jokes a lot more intensely than the jokes are funny. A lot of them are "smile and blow air out your nose" funny, while the audience dies laughing at those jokes.
3:57 : He stole that one from the oneliner king Steven Wright. "For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out."
This guy is very good. Usually with the one liners there are some I’ve heard before, but these were new. I loved the “what Year is your daughter in?” I think I’m going to use that for real.
He's got a couple re-worked Mitch Hedberg jokes in there. "A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer" and the humidifier and dehumidifier battling it out joke
Well,,,,,,,very good ,,,,,,I have no time for these new age comedians ,,,,,,but he really is a pleasure to listen to ,,,,,,,,I think we will hear a lot more of this chap
People commenting about the audience - you do realise that this comedy club has some of the best comperes in the game hosting the gigs? This audience has just been primed by Paul Smith, Danny McCoughlin, Phil Chapman, Jojo Sutherland, Katie Tracey, Alex Boardman or one of the other of many headline standard comics that work there as regular MCs. Add a decent one liner comic like Stephen Cookson and it’s always going to go well.
Maybe it's just my current mood, but I found this just as hilarious as the crowd did. One or two of the jokes took a bit too much from Steven Wright, but otherwise, this was great.
One of the jokes was almost a word for word duplicate of a Steven Wright joke, but I don't believe it was intentional. That was a very long time ago. Overall I thought this was a great clip and the first joke set the tone for the entire routine.
Man it's the laughter what made u laugh..I don't wanna dis the guy but 5 or 6 borrowed ideas from Steven wright and Mitch hedberg.. that's too much.. and his approach,,, he was trying so hard to be deadpanning so to speak...
I think there was a funny laugher in the audience... you can hear a bit of her(?) just about dying at 4:31 While he was great, I think that added a good bit of flavor to the atmosphere haha
This comedian had some great lines.
Clearly the audience had a few too.
Mike G hahaha🤣
Audiences laughter intesifies
Funnee
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
A crazy audience...very friendly.

I love one liner comedy... It's hard work, and the audience gets their moneys worth. This guy really nailed it.
His delivery and demeanour are perfect.....that is why he is funny..
Thanks for explaining, I was confused.
Every comedians dream audience.
Maybe, they are laughing at the setup, and a bit too long at times.
Canned laughter

His stoicism and believability had the crowd.
Yes I agree - He looks and sounds like every guy that has ever worked in some kind of industrial environment, hence his believability!
So this is what happened to the old audiences from Friends and Frasier.
Hahaha I absolutely love frasier and I’ve watched it to the point of not hearing the audience anymore but you’ve just reminded me what they used to sound like when I first started watching it
They learned to freestyle?
Right! It sounds like it's piped in.
Nice
Mike Gaines absolutely "canned laughter". Maybe they served shroom tea? Fk idk. He wasn't THAT funny.
I didn’t think I would enjoy this as much as I did. A few of these will have me laughing to myself tomorrow.
This guy's delivery is excellent and he has some great lines. Certainly a comic's dream audience.
It's amazing how he's able to keep a straight face.
It’s not whether the audience laugh, it’s whether it’s funny. I laughed out loud. Very good.
But you're more likely to laugh if you hear other people laugh.
Love this bloke. Reminds me of an english version of Steven Wright! A gig with him, Paul Smith and Gary Delaney would be my dream night of comedy.
I have to say, the first time I ever seen this, I was in stitches. The jokes are funny but it’s his face and his delivery and the long pauses that makes it. 😂
Deadpan delivery and a funny man. What more could you ask for.
I think they pumped laughing gas through the vents of the building!
That's called a pint ya fook tard.
I agree. He wasnt funny. His delivery is shit.
Agreed.
It’s probably late at night in a comedy club - they’re all half cut.

@@myhatmygandhi6217 people have been sharing jokes for centuries, stop crying
Not usually one to like a bunch of one liners strung together but this dude killed it, even with his delivery. Well deserved laughter.
The 2017 and the zoo joke were genius lol
That audience was a gift and he took charge like a champ. Damned funny!
I've watched this a dozen times or so and it never fails to make me laugh
It takes a bloody good comedian to deliver lines like that, and this guys next level, he just looks so comfortable with it, IMO absolutely Stephen nailed it
I see the TH-cam comedians are selflessly patrolling the comments sections maintaining audience difficulty standards.
Star Trek Theory No, it was sincere appreciation.
They're dossers
@Star Trek Theory Thank you for your service.
I see you’ve tried a witty observation but written it so poorly no one knows what you mean.
@@camogrrl the guy's got 72 likes, give him some credit. When was the last time you got that many likes?
The audience sounds completely hammered.
My go-to vid when I’m feeling sad: never fails to cheer me up.
You're easily pleased
Avy... Why have a go at someone for liking what they like?
You know a comedian is good when they make you snort while laughing so hard. Good stuff.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe they were snorting another line of Charlie, Charlie. Just one line mind, a one liner....
What kind of brownies did they feed the audience? muy gawd
Sounds like a great idea though
Exactly what I was thinking! Bleeding wackjobs were laughing everytime he paused for longer than half a second, I gave up half way through, they were doing my nut.
Gi Al haha made of weed 🤣😂
SavageArfad we would never be that insulting to a comedian
CLK Products glad you’re enjoying 😀
UKs Stephen Wright. That first joke was one of the funniest things I've ever heard. 😂😅😂
Oh my, never heard of this guy before. It's pure gold. Will have to watch out for him & pop down to HWCC when he's on.
Excellent! Reminiscent of Stephen Wright. Made my afternoon. Thanks.
The audience must have been hammered!
This guy is FUNNY! You’ve got a new fan in Knoxville, Tennessee in the US!
Love this guy, hilarious. The audience are awsome hes right there crazy loving it
I live how he does the set-up so well that everyone already gets the joke and starts laughing...then he calmly finishes the joke anyway and gets them laughing again.
the best laugh i have had in ages this bloke has got to make it big time cheers
As Mr. Monkhouse would say ...its all in the delivery and this guy's a master
Wow. Great comedy. The crowd was also phenomenal, where in the world do you get a crowd like that.
Liverpool 😉
From a recorder.
Too funny. Still laughing.
I give this a solid 4 Stars,
cause I can't count to 5.
He is quite simply, hilarious!
I usually think of myself as someone who doesn't laugh out loud. But I had my notebook on my belly while I was watching this guy and the notebook was jerking up and down. Hmm, that sounded better when I said it inside my head.
He's very funny but that has to be the easiest audience ever.
NPR wait wait don’t tell me, those morons laugh at the first sound and everything there after.
Its liverpool mate. We go out to have a laugh. What's the point being a miserable bastard.
@@joncampbell7297 damn good attitude
quite a few stolen jokes, the stocking filler one for example

Great one liners, I need to see more of this guy.
He breathes.... Audience goes into hysterics
One of the best short sets I've seen.
3:57 : He stole that one from the oneliner king Steven Wright. "For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out."
Also the all-day breakfast joke is the same as Steven's 24-hour banking.
This guy is very good. Usually with the one liners there are some I’ve heard before, but these were new. I loved the “what Year is your daughter in?” I think I’m going to use that for real.
Phenomenal audience & funny bloke.
Such a genuine considerate audience, laughing at every line, irrespective.
It’s lovely when your whole family shows up to the gig.
Jealous much?
I love his one liners because they have follow ups and they're just as good
Good, clean comedy. The new Stephen Wright!
The minute silence had me cracking up...
Couldn't tell anybody 😂
The dehumidifier joke was Stephen Wrights'
Also, the stocking filler joke is from Mitch Hedberg. “The best stocking stuffer is a severed foot.”
What kind of idiot does one-liners and steals from the top two one-liner comedians? Sucks because I was liking this guy until that happened
Exactly
Now this is how a comedy club should be! Proper jokes, excellent one liners 😂
He's got a couple re-worked Mitch Hedberg jokes in there. "A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer" and the humidifier and dehumidifier battling it out joke
The humidifier and dehumidifier joke is a Steven Wright joke.
The stocking filler joke was Tommy Cooper's.
Who cares who wrote it, who makes it funniest?
great lines. only one old one was the artificial leg / stocking filler gag but brilliant delivery and timing
"I went to see my doctor and he asked me to provide a stool sample so I enrolled in a basic wood working course"
Yes, thanks for the subtitles. For us American folks who don't understand English.
Damn that crowd was LUBRICATED
The best comedian I’ve heard for years
He came out with the best first, after that it is easier to keep people laughing. I thought his first joke about spelling was very funny.
And his last joke - the hold-back on the last joke was brilliant.
that humidifier joke killed them all aswell ... lolol
He had a few that got a snicker from me. I'd say about 35% which isn't that bad.
Dude, the audience was laughing before he even said anything. Not hard to keep that crowd laughing. The trick is getting them to stop.
Speling is not everyone's forté
Well,,,,,,,very good ,,,,,,I have no time for these new age comedians ,,,,,,but he really is a pleasure to listen to ,,,,,,,,I think we will hear a lot more of this chap
Good stuff. Straight outta the school of Steven Wright.
Deadpan delivery of some great one liners, works for me👍
I don't care what anyone says, I was begging my phone's screen to stop I laughed l so hard.

Add a decent one liner comic like Stephen Cookson and it’s always going to go well.
Wish I was there. That had to be the best audience ever for a comedian.
Well done. I was looking for good examples of one-liners for a project I'm doing. I wasn't disappointed.
This guy was on after happy hour...
Skillful oneliners go straight for the jugular, love it
Maybe it's just my current mood, but I found this just as hilarious as the crowd did. One or two of the jokes took a bit too much from Steven Wright, but otherwise, this was great.

Love this comedian 😂. Brilliant style 👌💯
Never heard or seen him before .but he is brilliant I hope he makes it to the very top
First time I've listened to him...brilliant , absolutely brilliant!!!
This guy could have read a newspaper and the audience would've laughed.
😅😅
You don’t get the humour so don’t comment
Humor without vulgarity -- refreshing! I'm subscribing.
“A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer” -Mitch Hedberg
I put a humidifier in a room with a dehumidifier to see who would win. Stephen Wright
@@klintflick "I have powdered water, but I don't know what to add to it." ---Stephen Wright
"I saw a wino eating grapes, and I was like 'dude, you have to wait'." ---Mitch Hedberg.
I actually laughed Hard at this guys one liners. They were well crafted and delivered. I wish him well. 👍
I love one liner Comics. I'll put this guy right next to Mitch. Laughd my ass off. I'd like to find more of this guys stuff.
The "spelling" one and the all day breakfast one were hilarious.
what a legend !
Brilliant and a real pro too,,so difficult not to break character when everybody is laughing like that.
A very funny 1 liner comedian who had me in tears laughing my head off
Fantastic. A true professional, he will hit it big.
I'm standing in front of a wall ....""hahahaha lol hehe omg we laugh at everything and nothing""
His delivery KILLS me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why was the crowd laughing so much? He walked on to the stage and the crowd lost it with laughter... Like???
Yea I had to rewind it bc i thought I had missed something subtle. I still dont get it
Sometimes they're just drunk or drugged
They're from Liverpool and like a good night out
Maybe it was the start of a bank holiday weekend
I think there was a funny laugher in the audience... you can hear a bit of her(?) just about dying at 4:31
While he was great, I think that added a good bit of flavor to the atmosphere haha
I nearly spat my coffee out when he said spelling 😂
Fantastic comic, loved that little touch when Stephen said to the audience "I've only got 5 minutes."
He was fucking brilliant, I was bursting my hole right from the start (like the audience), his opener is BOOM I'm in! LMAO
how could people down voat this guy - he's excellent. neverr seen him before this vid
[walks onto stage]
hahahaha
[picks up mic]
LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Man, the whole audience is on shrooms
Thanks for the subtitles. I had no idea what language that guy was speaking.
He’s got a Steven Wright vibe! Good jokes.
Probably because he stole his jokes
Thanks Stephan. I enjoyed that.
his dead tone make his jokes work so well !!
That's a drunk crowd😂😂😂😂😂
I laughed as hard as the audience 🤣🤣🤣
Need more of this sort of humour... Brilliant and subtle....
Shishir Subba search Steven Wright or Mitch Hedberg. That’s where he got some of these jokes.
