Johnny was right on about the comic aid gig just being an excuse for the audience to watch comedy performances. 'You've been beautiful and dishonest!' a true comedy legend.
Only this man can be so genuinely angry and not lose the comedy performance in its execution . Love you Johnny you really don't care ,brilliant put down for the heckler too!
I saw Johnny Vegas at the royal exchange in Manchester in 2000 and to this day it's the only gig I've ever been to where people were literally rolling in the aisles helpless with laughter. He was absolutely brilliant.
That was great, thats what we all want, someone making a total arse of themselves, instead of some mediocre run of the mill comedian going by the book. Id love to see him live.
This is one of the best and most spontaneous comedy performances I've ever seen. To all the idiots, Johnny Vegas wasn't drunk at all, and to all the people who think him kissing the woman was wrong, he essentially pressed his face against hers, no tongue, no real kissing, he did it all for comedy, and both the woman and the guy next to her realised this, as did most of the audience, that's why there was so much laughter and applause.. If you don't have the capacity to understand things, don't comment on them. Realise this, because you just seem like idiots to those of us that do.
hahaha most of the audience that had clear sight of him :O not saying i am, because i know im not, but one thing i do know is that most really clever people are not as arogent as you ;) there is a difference between letting some know the truth and being a jerk about it :) have a nice life !!
jasper petersen haha read your comment again :D if one does not have the "capacity" of understanding, is one then able two know if they have it or not? and on that note, are you a muslim ?
jasper petersen What I said was in a more 'stop spoiling things for the rest of us' kind of way. The people to whom I am referring are those who genuinely believe he was drunk or don't realise it's all a bit of fun, no harm done. You know, the letters of complaint to OFCOM crowd. No I am not a Muslim, why should that matter?
I was very tired when i commented. The Muslim thing was a joke about freedom of speach (with irony towards the asumption that all muslims are the same :)) i know nothing of OFCOM ? :)
jasper petersen OFCOM are the company who people complain to when they see something they have an issue with on tv in the UK, you know the type, those who spend their entire lives complaining because they are miserable gits who want to stop others enjoying something just because they can't. I'm not going to get into a religious debate because I'll be here all day; so let's just say, the idea of a God is fine, but all 'religion' is a cancer.
I never realised that Jessica Hynes could be so unfunny. Hard to tell where the deliberate schoolmistress act ended and the echos began of possibly rattled backstage people reacting to Johnny's piece about frittered charity donations. If all an act, too close to the truth to be funny at that stage.
That was nine of the most uncomfortable, hysterically funny minutes I've ever witnessed. I've always maintained that comedy which doesn't make you uncomfortable isn't actually funny-by that measure, Johnny Vegas is a fucking comic genius.
How was that not a kiss, are you blind?! I bet you any money she had wet pants and her tongue in his mouth. He gave her (or her bf) plenty of opportunity to push him away and say no, he waited, and then when no one pushed him away, he took.
He has quite a bizarre act. I think you'd have to be smart to put something like that together and survive the gig. The man has to be a lot smarter than the Johnny Vegas 'character' because he somehow pulls it off.
I think he is legitimately drunk, but maybe not as much as he sometimes acts. 'Johnny Vegas' is technically an wild 'character', i think it merged with reality at some points though. His act relies a lot on riffing with the audience in a surreal and drunken state. I think he's great though. In all the stand-up i've ever seen him do I don't think I can pick out a 'routine', all the gigs seem genuinely different. You've got to appreciate that even if he sometimes seems like a rambling drunk.
I'm guessing he went way over time and they couldn't usher him off because he was stood in the crowd. He said he only had seven minutes. He was way over that by the time she came out to move him.
Also, for the record, I don't speak with a "posh-accent". I'm of welsh descent and my accent is faintly welsh. Also, having lived in Greece all my life, my entire experience of the UK is through media and, frankly, that's partially the reason for my lack of judgement. It's not a justification, just a reason. It's hard being bilingual in another country and not knowing where half of you is from and how to contextualise what you see from there properly.
I agree with your statements entirely. I never meant to insinuate that people who speak like him are uneducated or lower class. I only meant that that's the way most people see it. And yes, propagation of these stereotypes is a negative thing and shouldn't really be done. But Vegas isn't entirely at fault there. I truly think, though, that the man is rather smarter than he's made out to be. All in all, I agree with you on the most part and apologise if I seemed like I was judging anyone.
Not to mention he has a freaking degree. :P But yeah, if it is all an act that he maintains then that is some level of dedication. Some may argue that this is just him being him and it isn't smart, which may be the case, but still. He has had an education which is more than many people similar to his act can claim.
It was pretty funny. The fact that he sort of 'represents' the typical mid/lower class Brit is all the more interesting to see. You can tell at a glance that he's not all that dumb though. He hides the fact that he's smart rather well.
The audience was a bit flat, which I suspect they probably are at gigs like this, but he did well nonetheless. This was a variety night, so I'm sure some people who don't attend comedy nights might have been taken aback, but this is pretty mild. He toned the act down and I'm sure it was all taken in good humour.
@@davidhellewell4241 according to his autobiography, he used to drink every night before going on stage to combat his stage fright. I dunno if this was before or after he stopped doing that.
The way they stopped him was so condescending, proving his entire rant about class. Anyone that booked him should have known he can walk or and do 2 hours of original material off the cuff and allow him the freedom. Everyone else there that night that did the same 8 mins they have been doing the last 2-5 years.
One of the smartest, most underrated comics ever to do it!
and they say Vegas lost his edge...
He went over the edge, and now he's even funnier than before because of it
Johnny was right on about the comic aid gig just being an excuse for the audience to watch comedy performances. 'You've been beautiful and dishonest!' a true comedy legend.
I would have fucking loved to see what happened backstage after that performance haha!
Only this man can be so genuinely angry and not lose the comedy performance in its execution . Love you Johnny you really don't care ,brilliant put down for the heckler too!
Watching Johnny Vegas is like watching a trainwreck.
It's so genuine, he just knows how to make a business out of it.
That's the genius of it.
I am bored with observation comedy and benign acts; Vegas is unique and vastly under-rated.
Every panel show he's on is ace
Vegas live was genius.
@@jimbob9262 'You look like a badly mended teapot, that's been knocked over by an overactive nephew.' lol
Under rated by who?
@@LouiseTaylor-ub5zq Relative to other comics enjoying more ticket sales, obvs.
Imagine Johnny being a wwe wrestler his promos would be savage
He sold his wedding photos to Viz magazine for one pound, he genuinely did.
yeah got the mag
And they were beautiful.😢
By the second sentence it's clear to everyone we are watching a genius at work and it's not hidden.
I saw Johnny Vegas at the royal exchange in Manchester in 2000 and to this day it's the only gig I've ever been to where people were literally rolling in the aisles helpless with laughter. He was absolutely brilliant.
james knox I bet that was bloody amazing. I was four at the time, but I’m so jealous. Fair play to you Sir, prime time Vegas
I don't know who followed him, and I don't care. Could've watched another hour.
I had a drink with him in Richmond last night. What a great guy. One of the lads.
6:39 - He pooped his pants.
Could be sweat?.....he is wearing leather and under pressure pissed...
It's sweat
Hey babeh, it's for chariteh, give i'gh up fur Vegas! Cos I'm the greatest! 'Specialleh wi' grave-eh! Yum yum!
"Fucking skiing" had me laughing.
One of the best comedians/actors ever
That was great, thats what we all want, someone making a total arse of themselves, instead of some mediocre run of the mill comedian going by the book. Id love to see him live.
haha pretty awkward at parts. but what a clever guy

Oh man, a league above everyone else 👏👏
Nice description..
Do you even know what you have uploaded here?
Like.. what year etc?
That's the way to ease your way into a gig Johnny 😂😂 absolute genius ..with a bit of coral blue
comedy at the very cutting-edge. a masterclass.
Imagine Johnny, hosting the Oscar's !?! 🤣
Imagine Oscar, hosting the Johnny's!?! 🤣
The 'Asian Tsunami Appeal'.
I don't see the appeal in a tsunami if I'm honest.
yeah seen him live a few times,dont think he writes anything,just goes off on a comic rant!!
Middle class Jessica didn't like the class material
Whaaaat the f did I just watch!
His stuff is outrageously funny and inventive ,maybe the moist or most
inventive comic
Ken Livingston hiding from the jews! hahaha
I never realised that Jessica Hynes could be so unfunny. Hard to tell where the deliberate schoolmistress act ended and the echos began of possibly rattled backstage people reacting to Johnny's piece about frittered charity donations. If all an act, too close to the truth to be funny at that stage.
A comedian pushing all the right buttons. He knows what he's doing. He's fucking with you. Utterly brilliant.
I pray that he doesn't die soon.
Tell it how it fooking is! ;)
i think hes a genius.
That was nine of the most uncomfortable, hysterically funny minutes I've ever witnessed. I've always maintained that comedy which doesn't make you uncomfortable isn't actually funny-by that measure, Johnny Vegas is a fucking comic genius.
I reckon they should make a show of all pissed up stand up comedians
6:50 for the cringe.
Absolutely righteous stuff. I would have loved to be in the green room with the other comedians,
One of the funniest men in Thatto Heath.
He didn't kiss her tho did he. He had his hand which kinda shows it was a performance. A very clever, funny and spontaneous one at that.
How was that not a kiss, are you blind?! I bet you any money she had wet pants and her tongue in his mouth. He gave her (or her bf) plenty of opportunity to push him away and say no, he waited, and then when no one pushed him away, he took.
Johnny is the master the gift of laughter is like a crane 🏗 that lifts you
Out of depression
Peak Vegas...
aaaaaaand off to rehab!
The biggest fucling comedic genius ever with the biggest heart.Utter fucking genius.
Bit of a masterpiece here.
Wenches want me gets u tht XD
Back when a drunk comedian could force a kiss on someone and everyone would laugh. Now, someone says a naughty word and their career is destroyed.
no they are having a go at me,for providing folk with great comedy!.
He cracks me up every time😂😂😂😂
He’s like a pile of washing that’s somehow become sentient !
This looks like the 18 Stone era!
Lenny Bruce reborn. Brilliant to see someone so honest.
Jonny vegas speeking the truth.
Johnny Vegas cures my depression
Holy christ that woman enjoyed herself. Demonstration of absolute heroic power, resonates deep within
Missed the last train home seeing Johnny. There was no choice. I wasn't going to leave.
Brutally brilliant.
More funny when pissed
I love him, but i dont understand a word he says.. o.O
Man I gotta get me some of those snazzy threads! I'll be stylin'!
He has quite a bizarre act. I think you'd have to be smart to put something like that together and survive the gig. The man has to be a lot smarter than the Johnny Vegas 'character' because he somehow pulls it off.
Really, though...you should have seen him forcing a kiss on some poor chick in the crowd on the Graham Norton Show.
Gotta love Johnny Vegas
A badly mended teapot knocked over by an over-active nephew.
WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT COME FROM?
Man. This act feels like it belongs in 'Network'. Brilliant
One of the funniest comedians ever.
I am seeing Johnny Vegas live tonight!
How was it?
Johnny is someone different he rips laughter to bits
harsh , but funny to watch from home ;)
Lol
When they took him off that was part of the act right?
best rant ever, pure vitriol. perfect
if you hate him so much,why search for him on youtube?.
vuiewcbgrioeuab
love him , he's the gratest

the show Ideal brought me to this and I am glad! Funny bastard! Everyone hates the front row!
That was brutal kissing that blokes Mrs!! 🤣
It was one of the funniest things Ive ever seen!
@@tahiramasood8447 I would not be sitting there laughing if that were my Mrs
I'm guessing he went way over time and they couldn't usher him off because he was stood in the crowd. He said he only had seven minutes. He was way over that by the time she came out to move him.
He’s fuckin ruthless
Fuck me! Amazing.
As irreverent as Australia's Rodney Rude.
He is a fucking genius XD

Love you Johnny! Loved your performance in "The Libertine"!
wanker hes about as funny as a fucking heart attack
Whatcha talkin boot, he's foony as fook!
jesus shaves This coming from the guy whose username is 'jesus shaves'. You must be a right comedy legend mate...
Owen C Q. What do you call an anorexic girl with a yeast infection??
A. A quater pounder with cheese.
Man, I love that you used someone else's joke to prove how unfunny you are. Classic.
i cant understand everything hes saying as an american..but i still love him just because hes so raw. so unlike other comedians
but he was saying the guy who wanted Johnny Vegas to die (TPom8358) is just saying it for attention.
thanks for sharing :)
came here because someone said he's better than Louis CK, Bill Burr, and Doug Stanhope. clearly homerism at work
And why is that? Also, what makes you feel the need to point it out to me?
JFC everything I thought I liked about Johnny just went out the window, this is disgusting.
Disgusting is a very strong word and in my opinion you should explain further the 'disgusting' part of johnnys act
Lmao you have deffo been cucked before
The fact that he's drunk is the best thing in the world
It's part of the act
