That's how it done. Take sensitive topics, make them funny without offending any one mean while waiving it all together with a message of love and peace.
So this popped up on my algorithm after I watched a video of an older black woman describing her near death experience. I promise you she said that she was on the other side of the whip on the horse, hurting slaves in a previous life! 😅 This set was so good.
Thats because it wasn't a joke originally - the ancient Sadhus and Tibetans have been contemplating that shit for ages! He's just a philosopher in Comedians cloting!
That was really good. He had the room on edge, notice the room went quiet when he said "I blame white ppl for slavery", I get they were all thinking, oh shit, this is going to get very uncomfortable 😂😂. I love comics that keep you guessing the punchline
I'm a big fun of silence between set up and punchlines.. I first noticed with Patrice O'Neal, he was just master of it...stopping in the middle of a word, making it obvious yet hilarious.. Ian is a veteran of the game, true pro, smart material with calm delivery! Loved it from start to finish...
great set!! it’s incredible to me that there are all these talented comedians just floating around the country making an honest living while not being on the big screens..shoutout to the comedy clubs and fans who kept that lane open!
Just checked the description, this guy is downright prolific! He’s got that Carlin kind of message and joke built around each other style, but he’s very laid back and really lets his lines slow burn. Absolute mastery of his craft, you can tell by how relaxed he was.
This is one of the most brilliant and rich thought provoking standup I have ever seen so far. Great job Ian! Keep it going man.. & hope to see more from you.
I accept that reincarnation is real even if we cannot explain it. This guy was into some cerebral discourse and the bit was funny. Great find Don't Tell Comedy
This set was probably one of the best I’ve ever seen, right up there with the great legends, kind of reminds of Red Fox for some reason. Please don’t change the material.
he's brilliant! his pacing was hilarious and the message at the end was actually quite poignant. and the whole gender reveal bit had me joked. "to all the dads who wanted a son..." 🤣🤣 hilarious. Great work all around!
Yow! This is the best comedy special I've ever watched in my life yow 😂 This thing better hit a Million views in the next few hours. That reincarnation joke had the white dude in the front holding on to his laugh for dear life 11:33 Let it out buddy 🤣🤣🤣
For some reason these don't get the recognition they deserve. I only found out about the standup comedy side of youtube for about a year now, and I've been on youtube for so damn long.
I also love his take on reincarnation!!! I always say everyone is One and this is another way to help prove that point. How can we hate someone when we could have been like that person in a past life. We are all connected!♥
I watch comedians all the time and this is like nothing I’ve seen before! About to search and binge his material. He needs to be among the household name comedians!
This dude had some original material and it got progressively funny as the show went lol. This how you do standup
Facts
This is a veteran in the game right here. Polished and calculated.
Yeah, the timing is 👌

He'll offend someone for sure 😂
@@Taxmandarmuslol
The reincarnation bit was genuinely philosophical and hilarious at the same time. Very reminiscent of James Baldwin but still incredibly funny
Whoaaa incredible
It could be one of the best jokes I've ever heard.

Incredible line
what's that dog gonna do then...
🤣🤣
@@MrYowen88psychonauts
That was so good
his whole set was executed perfectly 👏the airline charges bit is one of the best bits ive seen. you can see the punch line coming but it'll still hit.
Get this man a Netflix special!!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS POINT ABOUT "GENDER REVEAL PARTIES!!!" I LOVE THIS GUY!!!
I love his delivery. His jokes were hilarious but his delivery really solidified this as a stellar set
“I could be who I’m angry at.” 🤣 so many jewels throughout this gig 🫡
The airline and reincarnation bit had me rolling 🤣
An OG that needs his flowers given.
Yes! And Greer Barnes too!
@@melancholymoshpityes GREER!
@@melancholymoshpit I've been putting folks on to Greer Barnes for years! Ever since I saw him on Def Comedy Jam as a kid.
I was lucky enough to watch this live. It’s an amazing experience to see someone so meticulously tell jokes and it be electric in the room
That reincarnation bit at the end was so great. Awesome set
He knows how to use suspense and assimilation pulse
He doesn't rush it. Chew, digest, anticipate
Very good technique
I'm a huge fan of holding and marinating!!! It allows people to enjoy the joke and even die a little!!! I died a lot here!!!
Facts it's all about the sweet science of timing
This was a masterclass
Absolutely!
I like this guy. He's smart, introspective, and funny.
This man brought genuine original material that also touched on touchy subjects and used those subjects to bring everyone together! Masterful!
From time to time, Don't tell re-introduces a great one. Masterful delivery.
Absolutely 👌🏾
Saw Ian Edwards live in LA. One of the smartest, funniest mfs out. Had me crying.
The entire reincarnation bit was so much better than the short I saw 😂 the statue line made me cough
OMG, that reincarnation joke was so mind-blowing! Loved it.
He absolutely killed that set 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the past life bit was one of the smartest ways to deliver a message and still be funny “EVER”!!!!
Ian is way underrated. His older stuff is great too
What fucking point..he is joking not making a point dont be fucking insane. Enough enough.
the way everyone was too scared to laugh at the gender joke made it even more funny
he threaded that needle so effortlessly
Where was this joke told SanFran?
5:57
The reincarnation jokes are Sooooo good. In this day and age, it's practically unused new material.
I'm Buddhist and the reincarnation bit is so fucking funny

9:39 this is bigger than you 😂
And it's actually true and needed. Men having more women and kids and taking care of them is how life and humanity actually grows
I just watched it again and laughed like I've never seen this 😅
The couple in the audience looked so uncomfortable 😂😂😅

"Whose blowing up their own clothes? " 🤣
so terrorrist steel clothes before they check in . some smart fun here .
This is one of the funniest and most clever comedy sets I’ve ever seen. Criminally underrated.
Ian’s one of the best doing it! 🔥
This is one of the most brilliant and rich thought provoking standup I have ever seen so far. Great job Ian! Keep it going man.. & hope to see more from you.
*Everyone* needs to go out of their way to see him if he’s in your city. We ❤ Ian!!
Comedians who tell jokes about trans ppl that are actually funny and don't punch down are the reason I live!! Love this guy!!
foreal
He was good! But if everyone Everyone can get put down, then trans people shouldn't be the exception.
exactly! making fun of religion is okay but trans ppl is where we draw the line!
@@BigNica3punching down on a minority group is different than white people being made fun of, for example.
What a pathetic reason to live.
This was excellent. Best set I've seen in a minute

Been a while since I've laughed so much at a comedian. Thank you, Ian!
Ian has always been a high thought comedian
Man!! I haven’t laughed like this in a while. This man is a genius, he thinks about things deeply and knows how to make it funny. Next level.
From the first minute to the last this show is brilliant and his delivery is to good
The reincarnation joke was top tier.
I haven't seen Ian in years, great to see that they're still ding stand up.
That is probably one of the best set ups for a joke I have ever heard
This was so incredibly clever and original. Loved it!

WOW!
This guy could go places.
Very well written jokes 👌
Hard to find comedians that can layer this deep
That was hilarious, I wish I could click the like button more than once
Ian did wonderful. Everything from delivery to the types of jokes told were perfectly executed. I’d love to see more of him!
I love to discover great new comedians. This man is great!
Yo, that was the funniest thing ive seen in a min. I was cryin and it feels like I just did abs.

Fire set!!
Deep, real, and classy
This is masterful!!!
Amazing set. Perfect execution!
Those are some ORIGINAL ideas, ORIGINAL train of thought on subjects every comedian has touched.
This guy's a special kinda nuts!🤣
I watch comedians all the time and this is like nothing I’ve seen before! About to search and binge his material. He needs to be among the household name comedians!
"Hey...this is bigger than you..🤨" 😂
He was HILARIOUS!
This guy's amazing. Love the airplane stuff
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Don’t Tell Comedy never disappoints. Great set!!!
One of the best sets from someone I’ve never seen before. Great original comedy! Can’t wait to see more!
I wish I could rewatch this for the first time....really cracked me up
😂😂😂😂 Best, one of the best and most original takes about reincarnation and slavery 😂😂😂😂
Special thanks for that Soccer Comic Pod👏👏👏
Wtff I’m two minutes in-this guy is so fucking funny 🤣
Edit: This man is a legend!!!!!! Outstanding. Unbelievable. All of the adjacent adjectives.
The most nuanced trans jokes I've heard in a long time, really genuine really funny
10/10 set. Great job.
Strong finish.
Good material in general
The reincarnation bit was very original!
Great set, fresh material 😂
This is smart comedy. Hilarious and thought provoking. Thank you, Mr Edwards
wow. love this guy. great material. great delivery.
So good, as a person who believes in reincarnation I love hearing a great bit from someone who knows the kind of thoughts we actually have.
Love the pacing and the style in the way he touched on all his topics. Kudos Ian you earned a new fan!
The reincarnation bit was genius. That could be expanded on to evolve a whole show around.
