Yeh, if Gian was at a gig in the audience and the person on stage found out he was a comedian and asked him to tell a joke he would likely panic and fall on his ass 😂
Yeah from what I understand, clowning is kind of like, a method actor, where they sort of become a different person once they put on the makeup. It's weird to do it outside of the uniform. Almost like asking an olympic swimmer to swim, but in his jeans and sweater. He can still do it, but its not as graceful or fast as he would be in his speedo, swim cap, and goggles.
I was raised UU and this is the first time I’ve ever seen a reference to OWL in the wild. Jokes aside it’s actually a really great and educational program; really made planned parenthood visits to health class feel super redundant for the next few years
The bell ringing does tell the time. There are four funky little tunes corresponding to quarter past, half past, quarter two, and the hour, then when it is on the hour (which has the longest jingle), big ben is rung a number of times for the hour. (the biggest bell in the tower we casually call big ben, the tower itself not having a name until 2012 till it was officially named Elizabeth Tower). Given you hit 61 bells, I'm going to guess your show (by that point) was about an hour long starting about 10. 16 bell jingle before the show began. Show began. 10 bells for the hour. 4 bell jingle for quarter past. 8 bell jingle for half past. 12 bell jingle for quarter to. 16 bell jingle on the hour. 11 bells for the hour. 10+4+8+12+16+11 = 61 bells.
Brother a woman in the audience loud and clear literally says it's not even 6 yet, meaning the show started before 6, and it's not even on the hour. The British people living there said they didn't know what it was doing.
It's not playing a jingle, that church doesn't have quarter bells. Maybe that's what they're doing but I hear that bell a lot and they should consider reining it in a bit
lmao I'm UU and that was hilarious. Because she was put on the spot she didn't explain it the best, but OWL is amazing sex ed that teaches kids about alternative family models like having gays parents or only having one parent, and teaches kids to be outspoken if they are being abused, and when she said "we saw everything" she meant we don't shame body parts or use euphemisms. Kids are taught an honest anatomy lesson and taught not to be embarrassed by their bodies.
OMB! LOL! I'm a NY-er who grew up in Germany and even I know the phrase about "stabby stabby" (seeing an episode of Futurama in my head here, but you'll get the reference if you watch this)!
I'm a whole European who's never set foot in the US and has met like 3 Americans in real life, but somehow I too knew the phrase, no clue how 😅 love it though, for someone with little knowledge of the "cultural differences" between the individual states it's very informative imo
Your crowd work is fantastic in that it just feels like listening to impromptu guests on a REEALLLY good podcast where you’re just having a basic conversation about someone and cracking jokes while being careful to not go *too* far with any of ‘em (obviously there’s some leeway at a comedy show but there’s a certain level of self awareness that makes yours work so damn well)
I got my son his first tattoo when he was 16. Had to get it done in Vegas because it's illegal in Washington State where we live 😂 it was a treble clef. He's 18 now and has a full sleeve that's music themed. I just got my first tattoo after paying for his sleeve for his graduation gift 😂
Now, I don't know if I'd love to see Gianmarco's show in person or keeping watch it on UA-cam while safely away from even the faintest possibility of accidentally being put in the spotlight.
I'm from SC and my mom joined the UU so that me and my brother could get good sex Ed! Welll worth it it was a great bonding experience I made lifelong friends there
i converted to uu as an adult and always wondered what they taught the kids when they went to their own lil breakout sessions. not what i was expecting but it tracks
Just a guess, but when I was vicar of some rural churches there was one church that used to ring the bell at a funeral, with one strike for every year of the deceased’s life. Could have been that?
Clown guy should maybe not say “it’s like what you do” and then not have any real good jokes 😅 Like if ur not prepared to back up your cockiness don’t hype yourself up so much 😂 I was waiting for some zingers and I got more from the comments than from this guy 😂
UK on average has better teeth than America. However, in terms of public image; we don't. This is purely down to the fact whitening of teeth isn't done as much in the UK, as opposed to America.
It's deffo not free, nhs only covers some parts of it. I have to pay 25 quid every time i get a check up. Heard some of my colleagues saying they skip the checkups bc they cant fork out loads of money if they happen to stumble upon a cavity during the appointment.
He's a New Yorker, they are all short tempered grouches. They don't understand that Brits don't do confrontation, we do passive aggressive instead. If a Brit isn't isn't responding to confrontation it isn't because they can't handle it, it's cause they are waiting for you to have said enough that they feel justified in their own mind when they headbutt you.
Honeslty, i cant think of anywhere with better food than london. I dont think theres a city in the world with a greater variety of excellent cuisine. Obviously the uk has few good local favourites, but who tf actually eats british cuisne? The defualt food in england is really italian or indian.
We don't take confrontation well? Its confrontation. Its not a good thing. Why would we take it well? It something that can very much ruin your day. I also don't take people urinating on me well.
What could go wrong? Lying about being a clown to a room full of strangers? They're never going to find out... what are they gonna do? Ask me the simplest of questions about my job?
@@octiiXpies Pretty sure he was, he agreed to everything that was suggested, but whenever it came time for him to add detail he just didn't have much to say.

noo! I just missed the Calgary show, hope you come back again!
Did you ever come to Quebec or is it too far away (or too cold (or both))?
I'm a new fan and watch your crowd work vids everyday...wish you would come ( back ) to the DC area..maybe the Birchmere in Alexandria
“I mean, if it’s something, I will have to mention the nostrils” is in and of itself the most delicate and devastating read.
i was wondering why that didn’t get as big a laugh as it got out of me purely for delivery
This man's going to look at his nostrils every day for the next year 'cause of that comment

He is literally the best ever at this!
Jimmy Carr's crowd work is also excellent
Jeff Arcuri is a pro too and 😂
The bell rings counter jumping from 14 to 56 made me crack up lmaooo

i live nearby to a church that sometimes just goes ham on the bells for up to 2 hours
Is it counting the minutes???
@@MiloMurphysLaw It's supposed to but I'm wondering if there was a bell ringing class going on at the time as some churches offer that.
@@Abzify1now that you mention it... This does ring a bell...
MISSED OPPORTUNITY:
Guy: where’s the line?
GS: …no line, don’t use a slur
Guy: With nostrils like that, you’d think you know where the line would be.
DAMN 😂
ohh thats good
that tattoo story is WILD holy shit. Gianmarco joking that the tattoo was just going to be whichever parent said yes AND THEN IT WAS?????
No wonder that guys analogy was "it's like going to the circus and not seeing a clown".
the clown guy insults would`ve been funnier if the conditions were more like what he usually does
Thank you LeyLey
Sure, he just didn't wanna be put in the spot. But he's great on a stage under the lights

“WOOHOO, two christmases!!”
10:16 Sudden spotlight panic!
Having attended the show, I've been waiting months to relive this wildness of this crowd
I absolutely loved the jokes and atmosphere of the show, I wish I was there with Kate Moss.

The funniest part about the bell ringing, is that the video editor had to sit there and copy the subtitle every time that number changes
watching the ring counter go from 16 to 56 made me cackle
Gianmarco you're the only standup i watch these days
So mean to put him on the spot 🤣🤣🤣

why does he always... cling to walls lol
