Ummm, the algorithm sorts by relevance to you based on past viewing (yours and other people's). If you have other Joshes they may come first. If you check directly during or after a vid that Josh will come first. Tbs, he's popular other metrics and deserves to be everyone's #1.
The mystery apartment 😂😂😂. I was trying to explain the whole absurdity of Eric Adams to my mum last week and she thought I was making up things before I even got to the mayoral race.
@@MommaRN12756 He claimed his NYC address was a dingy, basement apartment in Brooklyn. It looked like a hastily put-together arrangement. He invited the press to “tour” the apartment to convince people he actually resided in NYC. This all took place to counter the reports that he was actually living in New Jersey with his girlfriend.
"Eric, we all know you've been investigated for corruption everywhere you've gone--city state and federal. You've achieved the rare trifecta of corruption investigations." - Andrew Yang (back during one of the 2021 NYC mayoral debates)
For many people it's more about feeling important and powerful than monetary compensation. And there are a LOT of promises levied towards politicians for incredibly well paid positions as lobbyists or board members for corporations after they leave office. There are also exorbitant speaking fees they get paid for an hour long speech.
I'm more mad that its not like you'll let regular people do it. An upgraded flight and some food? Lots of people can do that, you can't let me off on a ticket or some taxes or some . But you'll help a whole country for the same price
How the fuck does this man own a room like this so often so hilariously with events so currently. I’m not joking he may be the best speaker I’ve ever seen.
I dunno, hard work and a natural stage presence along with the confidence that comes from regular experience. Josh is a treasure to be sure, and watching his development in real time has been awesome!
@@clifvaughn962 to give him props though, he's been doing this WAAAY longer than his daily correspondent gig. He's just aced this form of comedy. Is up there with Chappelle for me.n
As an Upper West Side resident…the way I cackled about stop and frisk up here 😂 Coke…just so much coke could be acquired if they just got less racist 😂
Josh has mastered this niche, comedy from everyday trends. No need to write difficult scripts and repeating the same jokes over and over again. Every episode is new. Big up brother.
20:20 "It's it's weird to me that he is so punitive ... it's odd that he doesn't see himself in any of the youth that he wants to arrest or wants to punish." I laugh so hard at these videos, but these moments of gut-punching, insightful, social critical analysis are my favorite moments of every show. I'm convinced the rest of the show is just dressing for these one-liners he wants everyone to reflect on and I'm here for all of it.
I’ve seen the Eric Adams drug prevention video three or four times now. Josh ain’t joshing us about the decor. This kids room has a bookshelf that’s got like grandma tchotchkes on the shelves. “Look behind the fake Limoges paperweight and you might find crack, and three bullets.” And the music track they laid behind it - it’s a thing of beauty.
The people who were laughing about pulling a glock out of a pillow made me wonder "they know he's not exaggerating right? There's like 8 kilograms of crack and at least 5 handguns in that room." And Eric Adams didn't even check the magazine: those guns might shoot crack cocaine.
You're so right about the room -- it's like they raided an antiques roadshow to furnish it. And the way Eric Adams moves on, he's like a shitty game show host: "and what do we find inside this jasperware vase? More crack cocaine, now moving on to this daguerreotype of Usysses S. Grant...."
My favourite was after the Columbia student protest for tuition divestment from the Israeli military, he pulled an Oxford Classics sociology textbook on “Terrorism, understanding why & preventing” from the students and waived it around & claimed it was a ‘how to be a terrorist’ guidebook😂
Truly, you are a humorist, rather than a standup comedian. You weave the best story. Your humour always has flashbacks and foreshadowing. You mix facts and funny. You use multiple points of view. Very talented writer, and speaker. I really enjoy you, and have been telling so many people about you. Come to Vancouver, Canada or at least Seattle!
Yes there weren't a lot of popular comedians that would touch Luigi Mangione because of pissing off corporate sponsors but Josh took it on head first and was good at it .
My favorite part of the video is that he *twice* says that there are no "First Amendment" rights inside one's home, when he's clearly talking about the freedom from search and seizure.
Eric Adams is the mayor of New York City, historically a position you do not even bother pursuing if you're not going to use it for corruption, enriching yourself and yours. Still, there is an expectation of class and subtlety whilst you use your position for misdeeds. Adams was a cop before becoming a mayor, and in the United States you don't have to be familiar with a single law to become one, and even when you learn them by chance you still get to break them belligerently and with great entitlement. What Adams essentially did wrong was to bring his belligerence and unapologetic noncommital to any rule or law to a political office, and as a result there are piles upon piles of evidence that him and his staff has created in regards to the corruption(for instance, they didn't even bother using burner phones. They did not bother being subtle when messaging those bribing them either). To make things worse for himself, he also insists on being black through all of this, which is a surefire way to wreck any chance of wiggling his way out now that he's caught. I'm not American either, but this particular story is hilarious, and I highly recommend researching it if for nothing else than for a laugh about how stupid and audacious the people involved are.
Do yourself a favor and watch Eric Adam's press conference (the one Josh jokes about, where it was raining, and he got a bunch of black folks to stand beside him). It's infuriatingly funny and annoyingly comical. A few minutes will suffice 😂
I’m Romanian and watch a lot of English speaking comedians, but this kid is brilliant and fresh eyed and can tell any story into the temple of absurdity that is the American 🇺🇸 culture and politics (usually far right). Love him to bits ❤😂
Thanks for allowing me to feel like I am in a comedy club in a different city every week. I am watching, drink in hand, and feel part of the crowd. Comedy as it should feel: intimate.
Saw the show live in Indy. Totally brilliant evening all around. We expected him to be hilarious, but we're blown away by how nice he is IRL. Absolutely going to make a point of attending any future shows in driving distance. Thanks for a fantastic evening
@@JoshJohnsonComedyJosh your smarter than this. I get you need material but Adams is a scapegoat for speaking up about the dnc corruption behind the migrant influx. If aipac upgraded his flights he would be hailed a hero
Worst Mayor I remember? Spokane, Washington. Jim West. I was a page for him in high school for two weeks. He was caught by the local paper picking up 17 year old boys online. I remember one of my jobs was answering the phones, and reading his position (against) on domestic partner rights and hearing angry hate speech about me whenever I answered the phone. I wish he was corrupt financially, and not a homophobic gay man with an attraction for underage boys.
@@deaths250 now I wouldn’t go that far - Spokane, while-like all major cities-has its issues, the recent economic growth brought in by the influx of universities (Gonzaga, Whitworth, Eastern Washington University, Washington State grad/nursing/medical school and the university of Washington extended medical school) as well as increased social programs to support the unhoused community (many of whom are sadly veterans), the city has thrived post-COVID. As the second biggest city of WA, it’s really made moves to up the quality of life in its corner of WA state, many thanks to increased community engagement and participation from the people of Spokane who have a vested interest in seeing it thrive.
I spent a whole 20 minutes last week explaining to my father (who doesn't live in NYC) the many reasons why I did not vote for, and cannot stand Eric Adams, and the last point I made was "and it's not even GOOD corruption - so now to top off everything else, I'm both upset because he did the corruption, and disappointed because he did it so poorly!" Watching this set made me feel so validated and seen, thank you 🤣🙏
I am a stand up junky, and you Mr Johnson, have consistently made me laugh more than anyone. Especially the past few months when I have needed it most. Thank you
I just want to share a laugh, and mention that the first time I started reading your comment as meaning "I'm a stand up junky (you know, an honest and straightforward junky, unlike all those unreliable junkies out there)..." And I thought, "That's a weird bit of information to use as a qualifying statement for the rest of your comment, I feel like this man is oversharing, but hey, I guess that just goes to show that Josh's comedy transcends petty divisions and brings together all kinds of people through our shared everyday experiences..." And then, a full couple of seconds passed until my brain stepped in and went "No no no, the man was describing himself as *a junky of stand-up comedy* you blithering buffoon..."
@@fabiank3203 ... i absolutely read it the exact same way. like, I was expecting the rest of his comment to have something to do with where the stand up junkies stash their crack, because only unreliable ones use tricycle tires. and then had some synapses fire and make my brain understand he meant a junky for stand-up comedy. our brains are on the same wavelength.
@@fabiank3203I was scanning the comments quickly and thought they said "I'm a straight up junky." I hit the brakes real hard after that and read the comment again. I apologize to the one who posted. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who misread or misunderstood the comment.
Man I literally found out from the title card in the video and I’m just crestfallen. The amount of money this man has saved me in therapy sessions just by being funny is ridiculous. I at least owe him a ticket sale.
I was at this show and I almost missed him too. It was selling out fast. He was great! He did a meet and greet afterwards. He took pics with everyone who wanted to and even talked to people for a while before the next show. It was money well spent.
I'm Canadian. Not only do I keep up on American news and culture (and on Drake, grin) but he also makes me think. Also he is fair - right or left, he will take the issue down.
I was between flights and in a DFW AA club watching a video and got a tap on my shoulder. Was told I’m sorry to interrupt but I love Josh Johnson and was about to watch a video too. I’ve got my husband and daughters watching every video too. I’m going to surprise them with tickets the next time Josh is anywhere near.
Could the venue also be wheelchair friendly. I'm in one and have to remain in it all the time. Many venues have handicap seating but no space for someone confined to a wheelchair. And the other unfortunate thing is that since the spots tend to be upfront, it's super expensive and the person ends up paying for the accommodation. Feels like we're penalized for the disability 🙏🏽
I've seen some newer buildings with amazing accessibility options. Older buildings that weren't built with that in mind are harder to make more accessible l, but there is still MUCH that most places, especially public venues, can do.
This is the first time I hear Josh talk badly about someone. I mean his comedy is excellent and he has critiques, but I can’t remember a set where he has actively said someone sucks and is the worst. Excellent stand up set as always. ❤
Josh's brilliance comes from his ability to dissect current events. So it's a win for us bc he'll never run out of material. Now I want it to be a win for him and be the most famous comedian out there. Like the T-Swizzle version of a comedian.
Politicians are cheaper to buy than call girls in Vegas. I'm baffled why those same politicians can't figure out why Americans hate them lol. I respect the call girl WAY more.
This "mayor" participated in Diddy's FOs. He gave Diddy the key to NYC. Of course, he's getting snatched up. The tentacles of Diddy's take down have just started growing and will travel to every dirty alley of the US. Prayers up to all the victims.
@@ashtongarcia6894 It's a nasty act. Diddy will never see the light of day ever again as a free human being. Describing him as a man would be utterly disrespectful to every decent man, woman and child.
I have to say one more thing and then get off my fan girl sh*t. We got to meet Josh after this show and he is SO freaking gracious and kind to every single person. What a magnetic and bright spirit. Just a beautiful down to Earth human being. I still haven’t recovered lol 🤩🤩🤩
As someone that’s from Brooklyn that moved to Houston during Covid. I can tell you that your RESEARCH is spot on. When I found out Eric Adams was running, I felt bad I wasn’t there to vote for him. But mannnn I’m sure glad now that I moved to Houston 🤣🤣🤣
Eric Adams is a Simpsonsesque Cartoon Mayor. The more I hear about him, the more I’m convinced he was a Conan O Brian joke character that escaped the writer’s room.
Naw man, how does Josh continue to put out so much quality content at such a steady and rapid rate? I can't think of any comedian matching his quantity at his quality. Hats off. Truly special.
Mr. Johnson, you are absolutely a breath of fresh air to comedy. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you every time I'm at work, it's nice to have a laugh through a stressful day. ❤
This was my city and I'm straight up upset I didn't get to catch this set live. Holy shit, one of the best I've ever seen. This is some HBO comedy special moments just delivered up for free.
Cheers! 🇨🇦 Rob sure was a sh!t show and opened some Canadian eyes. Really - you voted for who? 😅 My 13 year old daughter and I in Waterloo laughed and laughed. We couldn't believe it.
CRACK MAYOR FORD! I love that guy. Not as a politician, but as entertainment. Greetings from this Swedish woman who laughed my ass off when all of this went down!
I am loving your comedy and spend way too much time watching all your videos. However, You keep me off social media and keep me laughing. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤❤❤
Excited 🎉 I love his comedy and his voice is so soothing. My mom loves him, she has only ever liked 5 comedians in her entire 57 years of life. We like to laugh but most people aren't able to make us laugh consistently like you do
I’ve never laughed at a show when there was a silent comedian 🤣🤣. Very very funny. You built up the character and when you were using non verbal communication it was so easy to just follow along knowing the character. Such a great show! Thank you again so much lifting us all up 💕💝
Hi Josh. Eating breakfast and watching this episode. Ummm, kind sir, we have our bed in the living room, lol. It’s so freeing and open space instead of the walls that seem to close in on you. One bedroom is my work at home office and the other has exercise equipment. Wish I could send you a pic. It’s so great.
Thank you for your unique comedic storytelling you share with us each week. Voting for Logan's tiny president as one of the best of 2024. Thank you so much for the laughter and the community.
I can’t put into words how clever you are. I listen and watch in awe as you build a story, make it hilarious, bring in social injustices and commentary, and take the audience over the line of comfort through laughter, to leave them with thoughts of how close we all are to being the ones that are cms away from the injustices many people face. You sir, have a gift. It’s rare and it’s precious; it’s particularly impactful. I don’t think I’ve seen comedy so well written and delivered outside of guys like Dave Chappelle, Katt Williams, George Carlin, but your production time is so fast and hits really hard every time. I’m not saying the others don’t or didn’t deliver beautifully and with similar qualities, just not as rapidly and precise as you. One of a kind, I’m loving watching you grow and develop into a GOAT. Xxxx
Oct. 11th Indianapolis. I was at this show!!! Where are the 3 other solo’s that were at my table that night?? I told you I was going to jump in the RUclips comments and shot us out. Two of you had family in Florida. We were all talking about where we bought our tickets. I’m the one from Michigan 😊
I'm in Illinois. The current "problem child" is also a Mayor in Dolton. But we also had Lyin' Ryan (George Ryan, former Secretary of State & then Governor when he was busted) & Braggin' Blago (Rod Blagovich, former Governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat when he was elected President & Trump pardoned). We are no strangers to the corrupt politicians, and stupid ones at that. Eric Adams would fit in, unfortunately. Oops! Almost for got State Rep (or was he state senate 🤔🤷♀️ IDR) Jesse Jackson III & his wife for embezzling millions from the state & then trying blame his "bi-polar" disorder 🙄 Yes the Reverend Jesse Jackson's son. But in the "are you stupid" category for dumb shit famous people on trial in Illinois have said in court, the award goes to R. Kelly who tried to tell the Judge that the reason he missed a court date was because he is "illiterate" & couldn't read the paperwork. Our local News anchor struggled not to laugh while she did the court recap for the day. Her co-anchor was not so successful
I feel your pain: moved from Texas to Florida :/ I’m sure there’s one politician in either state who isn’t weird and/or corrupt, but I haven’t seen them yet
You should have to serve the taxpayers until you pay us back with interest if you embezzle. Like drive grandma to the grocery store, run errands and pick up dog poop with a smile.
Absolutely unrelated to this excellent set: That mural behind Josh is blowing my mind. As a Hoosier native (relocated to MI), and having visited the Circle City many times over my life, I've never heard of Helium. Absolutely great set, Josh!
Always enjoy the sets. My one quibble is Adams wouldn't go to Rikers but a Federal facility. Ironically, he could end up in MDC with Diddy, assuming they would send a sitting mayor to jail. But that would be a whole nother bit and Adams should be held accountable by all the people being held in Rikers, for sure.
Josh, you're the fucking man. I know you work so goddamn hard, and I hope you find a balance for yourself in the coming days. Because this insane amount of touring and new material can be so deleterious to your psyche. Hang in there. Recharge your batteries. Please stay with us for a long time, because your perspective is both important and hilarious.
I was born in New York, raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, but now I'm in Accra Ghana. If you go to NY or NC, It gives me an excuse to fly back. But you should dig up your Dashiki and come to Accra for a show. There are plenty of repatriates and locals who would revel in the comedy. I know the best spot for the show.
A premiere makes my Tuesday night!! Hope all is well with everyone out in the world… have a good time all!!😊 Oh yeah! Come to Myrtle Beach SC, Josh… please?! PLEAse? Puh Puh PUH-leeeeezzze? ❤that crazy chick trying to get to get you to stop in Myrtle Beach during the tour.
omg i was there lol! You were so awesome to see live. Yall, if you havent gotten a chance to see josh then DO IT! go ALONE if you have to, its WORTH IT!
Josh was a guest at the Fred Armisen comedy show I went to in LA at the Largo at the Coronet! Thanks for making my first show there extra memorable, Josh 👏
We will be looking forward to you in San Jose, CA. I will start saving up now so I don't miss you, I am a senior and have to save up For things. You are absolutely briiant, and I am sharing your videos with everyone.

Worst Mayor I remember? Spokane, Washington. Jim West. I was a page for him in high school for two weeks. He was caught by the local paper picking up 17 year old boys online. I remember one of my jobs was answering the phones, and reading his position (against) on domestic partner rights and hearing angry hate speech about me whenever I answered the phone. I wish he was corrupt financially, and not a homophobic gay man with an attraction for underage boys.
“Gay man with penchant for underage boys.”
You should just say pedophile.
They aren’t in the LGBT community.
yeah this tracks for spo
Washington is done for
@@deaths250 now I wouldn’t go that far - Spokane, while-like all major cities-has its issues, the recent economic growth brought in by the influx of universities (Gonzaga, Whitworth, Eastern Washington University, Washington State grad/nursing/medical school and the university of Washington extended medical school) as well as increased social programs to support the unhoused community (many of whom are sadly veterans), the city has thrived post-COVID. As the second biggest city of WA, it’s really made moves to up the quality of life in its corner of WA state, many thanks to increased community engagement and participation from the people of Spokane who have a vested interest in seeing it thrive.
@@milay.7591I've lived in Washington for 30 years and I think it's a pretty nice place to live.
Been dodging hurricanes these past two weeks, glad for laugh, thanks from St Pete FL
Glad you’re safe, and able to enjoy a little peace!! Love from Columbus, Ohio!!
Ditto from Holiday, FL. Sooo over this! Laughter is essential
Big hugs to y'all from Arizona. Laughter is truly the best during hard times. Stay safe!
Stay safe ❤
God bless you and keep you safe!
Josh's hand gesture for crack cocaine is very incorrect and I love it because it means Josh has never done crack cocaine
I picture Josh as a weed guy. 😂
@@janasmith2253 don't quote me, but I think he doesn't do anything, smoke or drink.
He's definitely not in the drug game at all 'cause I saw him and Dulce Sloan wondering why drug dealers also have real jobs.
@@jkap34 He's admitted openly on podcast that he smokes.
@@kaedatiger do you remember which podcast?
I spent a whole 20 minutes last week explaining to my father (who doesn't live in NYC) the many reasons why I did not vote for, and cannot stand Eric Adams, and the last point I made was "and it's not even GOOD corruption - so now to top off everything else, I'm both upset because he did the corruption, and disappointed because he did it so poorly!" Watching this set made me feel so validated and seen, thank you 🤣🙏
I love the way you close your set with a critical analysis of the situation and get the audience to think about the issues in depth.
I am a stand up junky, and you Mr Johnson, have consistently made me laugh more than anyone. Especially the past few months when I have needed it most. Thank you
I just want to share a laugh, and mention that the first time I started reading your comment as meaning "I'm a stand up junky (you know, an honest and straightforward junky, unlike all those unreliable junkies out there)..."
And I thought, "That's a weird bit of information to use as a qualifying statement for the rest of your comment, I feel like this man is oversharing, but hey, I guess that just goes to show that Josh's comedy transcends petty divisions and brings together all kinds of people through our shared everyday experiences..."
And then, a full couple of seconds passed until my brain stepped in and went "No no no, the man was describing himself as *a junky of stand-up comedy* you blithering buffoon..."
@@fabiank3203 ... i absolutely read it the exact same way. like, I was expecting the rest of his comment to have something to do with where the stand up junkies stash their crack, because only unreliable ones use tricycle tires. and then had some synapses fire and make my brain understand he meant a junky for stand-up comedy. our brains are on the same wavelength.
@@fabiank3203I was scanning the comments quickly and thought they said "I'm a straight up junky." I hit the brakes real hard after that and read the comment again. I apologize to the one who posted. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who misread or misunderstood the comment.
This show was in Indy and it was completely sold out and I was pissed because I found out last minute, thank god for the internet
Man I literally found out from the title card in the video and I’m just crestfallen. The amount of money this man has saved me in therapy sessions just by being funny is ridiculous. I at least owe him a ticket sale.
I was at this show and I almost missed him too. It was selling out fast. He was great! He did a meet and greet afterwards. He took pics with everyone who wanted to and even talked to people for a while before the next show. It was money well spent.
The people who shot Eric's video, said they didn't know it was about to happen. They didn't know where he was going with it.
Danke!
Thanks!
The only person who put out so much quality content this consistently and this much is 2007-2009 Lil Wayne. Josh is dropping these like verses
This is SUCH an accurate comparison. They are both from Louisiana!
Love me some back in the day lil wayne❤
Something magical about those 5'5 men
2007-2009 Lil Wayne?? Welp, I know what I’m listening to this weekend!
Am I American? No. Do I know about american news because of Josh? Yes.
I'm Canadian. Not only do I keep up on American news and culture (and on Drake, grin) but he also makes me think. Also he is fair - right or left, he will take the issue down.
@@KristineMaitlandi am american & i very much would like to be a canadian
"this dude moves like a man who cheats" FOR REAL THO 😭😭😭
Thanks
I was between flights and in a DFW AA club watching a video and got a tap on my shoulder. Was told I’m sorry to interrupt but I love Josh Johnson and was about to watch a video too.
I’ve got my husband and daughters watching every video too. I’m going to surprise them with tickets the next time Josh is anywhere near.
Could the venue also be wheelchair friendly. I'm in one and have to remain in it all the time. Many venues have handicap seating but no space for someone confined to a wheelchair. And the other unfortunate thing is that since the spots tend to be upfront, it's super expensive and the person ends up paying for the accommodation. Feels like we're penalized for the disability 🙏🏽
Will copy and paste your comment under his pinned comment. So he can see!
@HeliumComedyStudios
This would be lovely to see more normalized. It's supposed to be the law ffs
I've seen some newer buildings with amazing accessibility options. Older buildings that weren't built with that in mind are harder to make more accessible l, but there is still MUCH that most places, especially public venues, can do.
@@asalwaysashntir THANK YOU!
The more that I listen to this wonderful Comedy Genius,
The MORE I think he'll go down in history as 1 of the great ones!!!!!
Absolutely!!! 💯
Yes
This is the first time I hear Josh talk badly about someone. I mean his comedy is excellent and he has critiques, but I can’t remember a set where he has actively said someone sucks and is the worst. Excellent stand up set as always. ❤
His Diddy set
Also the older Diddy set
Ahh I don't think you've esteem enough of his sets 😅
Josh's brilliance comes from his ability to dissect current events. So it's a win for us bc he'll never run out of material.
Now I want it to be a win for him and be the most famous comedian out there. Like the T-Swizzle version of a comedian.
Josh, we love you! So funny. Delivery, perfect. Smart-Funny. The best kind of comedian. You are big but you are goning to be be much bigger!
Welp. Now I’mma have to go find Eric Adams’ kids’ room crack search video😂
Politicians are cheaper to buy than call girls in Vegas. I'm baffled why those same politicians can't figure out why Americans hate them lol. I respect the call girl WAY more.
Yeah, she does her job.
@@kathleenmorrison2908 faaaacts lmao
Call girls are doing something for people. Politicians will get mad at YOU for asking them to do their job, then turn around and do insider trading.
The call girl does her job. She's at least worth something
This "mayor" participated in Diddy's FOs. He gave Diddy the key to NYC. Of course, he's getting snatched up. The tentacles of Diddy's take down have just started growing and will travel to every dirty alley of the US. Prayers up to all the victims.
That's probably not why he's getting busted. It's because he embarrassed the Democrats by speaking out against NY being flooded with migrants
Making an acronym for freak off is nasty work
@@ashtongarcia6894 It's a nasty act. Diddy will never see the light of day ever again as a free human being. Describing him as a man would be utterly disrespectful to every decent man, woman and child.
To be "fair", most of this stuff Adams is going down for is all on Adams himself.
@@Star-Mac10 agreed
I have to say one more thing and then get off my fan girl sh*t. We got to meet Josh after this show and he is SO freaking gracious and kind to every single person. What a magnetic and bright spirit. Just a beautiful down to Earth human being. I still haven’t recovered lol 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for coming friend
@@JoshJohnsonComedy Thank you! It was a great show.
#Kalamazoo2025 🙏🏼
As someone that’s from Brooklyn that moved to Houston during Covid. I can tell you that your RESEARCH is spot on. When I found out Eric Adams was running, I felt bad I wasn’t there to vote for him. But mannnn I’m sure glad now that I moved to Houston 🤣🤣🤣
Eric Adams is a Simpsonsesque Cartoon Mayor. The more I hear about him, the more I’m convinced he was a Conan O Brian joke character that escaped the writer’s room.
I love your comedy, I seem to learn more about the world thru your eyes than the NEWS, and it is much more enjoyable. Thank you.
❤❤❤
Naw man, how does Josh continue to put out so much quality content at such a steady and rapid rate? I can't think of any comedian matching his quantity at his quality. Hats off. Truly special.
Mr. Johnson, you are absolutely a breath of fresh air to comedy. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you every time I'm at work, it's nice to have a laugh through a stressful day. ❤
Josh Johnson is now my trusted source for all news
This was my city and I'm straight up upset I didn't get to catch this set live. Holy shit, one of the best I've ever seen. This is some HBO comedy special moments just delivered up for free.
From Toronto here. Didn't think anybody would ever out-do Rob Ford! Thanks New York for taking our place in the sh!t-show of a mayor contest!
I don't know. I think Rob Ford is still in front of Eric Adams. Rob Ford may be behind Washington DC's Marion Berry though...
Omg. I had forgotten about Ford for a hot minute 🙄 lol
Cheers! 🇨🇦
Rob sure was a sh!t show and opened some Canadian eyes. Really - you voted for who? 😅 My 13 year old daughter and I in Waterloo laughed and laughed. We couldn't believe it.
@@idmann17Hmmm well I recently rewatched a video of them Mayor Rob Ford SMOKING crack and talking smack against our PM Trudeau.
CRACK MAYOR FORD! I love that guy. Not as a politician, but as entertainment.
Greetings from this Swedish woman who laughed my ass off when all of this went down!
Im not even in America, yet the way Josh tells these anecdotes is flipping hilarious.
I hope he does a world tour!
Same...he needs to come to Australia for me.
@@lynnfebruary481 Same! 🇦🇺 Josh would sell out multiple nights at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Fingers crossed for us Aussies. 🤞🏻
Europe too please 😊
I take myself for lunch every Thursday and listen to your shows and it's getting DIFFICULT to not choke on my damn food Josh!!! 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I am loving your comedy and spend way too much time watching all your videos. However, You keep me off social media and keep me laughing. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤❤❤
Excited 🎉 I love his comedy and his voice is so soothing. My mom loves him, she has only ever liked 5 comedians in her entire 57 years of life. We like to laugh but most people aren't able to make us laugh consistently like you do
Which ones does she like?
@@demitasse22my question 😂
Gabriel Iglesias, Josh Johnson Shyane Smith , Matt Riff and Katt Williams. Lol they are not in order
@@rave-ein lol thank you!
Love his voice too!
Thank you for the prison reform issues❤️🔥
👏
I’ve never laughed at a show when there was a silent comedian 🤣🤣. Very very funny. You built up the character and when you were using non verbal communication it was so easy to just follow along knowing the character. Such a great show! Thank you again so much lifting us all up 💕💝
Solid mime work
Was doing the NYT mini crossword while watching this only to have the 7th clue be “Embattled mayor Adams” 😂
Hi Josh. Eating breakfast and watching this episode. Ummm, kind sir, we have our bed in the living room, lol. It’s so freeing and open space instead of the walls that seem to close in on you. One bedroom is my work at home office and the other has exercise equipment. Wish I could send you a pic. It’s so great.
Thank you for your unique comedic storytelling you share with us each week. Voting for Logan's tiny president as one of the best of 2024. Thank you so much for the laughter and the community.
Fellow Townie! ❤❤❤
I can’t put into words how clever you are. I listen and watch in awe as you build a story, make it hilarious, bring in social injustices and commentary, and take the audience over the line of comfort through laughter, to leave them with thoughts of how close we all are to being the ones that are cms away from the injustices many people face. You sir, have a gift. It’s rare and it’s precious; it’s particularly impactful. I don’t think I’ve seen comedy so well written and delivered outside of guys like Dave Chappelle, Katt Williams, George Carlin, but your production time is so fast and hits really hard every time. I’m not saying the others don’t or didn’t deliver beautifully and with similar qualities, just not as rapidly and precise as you. One of a kind, I’m loving watching you grow and develop into a GOAT. Xxxx
Oct. 11th Indianapolis. I was at this show!!! Where are the 3 other solo’s that were at my table that night?? I told you I was going to jump in the RUclips comments and shot us out. Two of you had family in Florida. We were all talking about where we bought our tickets. I’m the one from Michigan 😊
Bumping up this comment!
I wasn't there either, but - bump!
Okey bump from me too. Hoping this is leading to something everlasting
Bump bump bump!
Josh you are a a very creative story teller! You tickle my soul nightly!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💛
Well done Josh. Now we need a full on show about Don Old Frump😎😎😎😎😎✅✅✅
I'm in Illinois. The current "problem child" is also a Mayor in Dolton. But we also had Lyin' Ryan (George Ryan, former Secretary of State & then Governor when he was busted) & Braggin' Blago (Rod Blagovich, former Governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat when he was elected President & Trump pardoned). We are no strangers to the corrupt politicians, and stupid ones at that. Eric Adams would fit in, unfortunately.
Oops! Almost for got State Rep (or was he state senate 🤔🤷♀️ IDR) Jesse Jackson III & his wife for embezzling millions from the state & then trying blame his "bi-polar" disorder 🙄 Yes the Reverend Jesse Jackson's son.
But in the "are you stupid" category for dumb shit famous people on trial in Illinois have said in court, the award goes to R. Kelly who tried to tell the Judge that the reason he missed a court date was because he is "illiterate" & couldn't read the paperwork. Our local News anchor struggled not to laugh while she did the court recap for the day. Her co-anchor was not so successful
I feel your pain: moved from Texas to Florida :/ I’m sure there’s one politician in either state who isn’t weird and/or corrupt, but I haven’t seen them yet
@@Tonyhouse1168 Oof! I have family in both that agree you.
Yep
You should have to serve the taxpayers until you pay us back with interest if you embezzle. Like drive grandma to the grocery store, run errands and pick up dog poop with a smile.
I was just about to mention that crazy lady!
Zooming in on the hand motions during, "CR*CK COC*INE" had me in stitches 🤣
10:34 I’m so glad I restarted . I’m crying. John Oliver did a whole bit on that Adams cocaine ad. And what you say is accurate
Thank you Josh Johnson, besides putting out funny full length sets, *they’re all captioned!*
Absolutely unrelated to this excellent set: That mural behind Josh is blowing my mind. As a Hoosier native (relocated to MI), and having visited the Circle City many times over my life, I've never heard of Helium. Absolutely great set, Josh!
Yass!!!!! Josh dragging Eric Adams is what I needed tonight. Thanks for the new content drop!
Always enjoy the sets. My one quibble is Adams wouldn't go to Rikers but a Federal facility. Ironically, he could end up in MDC with Diddy, assuming they would send a sitting mayor to jail. But that would be a whole nother bit and Adams should be held accountable by all the people being held in Rikers, for sure.
(nother isn’t a word 🥴)
@@MyBeautifulHealthYou seem like not a geeky incel.
@@BoogieBoogsForever🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump will pardon him. Wait and see.
Josh, you're the fucking man. I know you work so goddamn hard, and I hope you find a balance for yourself in the coming days. Because this insane amount of touring and new material can be so deleterious to your psyche. Hang in there. Recharge your batteries. Please stay with us for a long time, because your perspective is both important and hilarious.
I was born in New York, raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, but now I'm in Accra Ghana. If you go to NY or NC, It gives me an excuse to fly back. But you should dig up your Dashiki and come to Accra for a show. There are plenty of repatriates and locals who would revel in the comedy. I know the best spot for the show.
Absolutely 🗣️🔥🔥🔥♥️🔥🔥🔥 thank you Josh 👏👏👏👏👏🎉
A premiere makes my Tuesday night!! Hope all is well with everyone out in the world… have a good time all!!😊
Oh yeah! Come to Myrtle Beach SC, Josh… please?! PLEAse?
Puh Puh PUH-leeeeezzze?
❤that crazy chick trying to get to get you to stop in Myrtle Beach during the tour.
South Carolina gang!! ❤
Rock on, Josh! I’m LIVE from Columbus, Ohio; laughing along with everyone else!
So glad these are later now so I can catch them at premiere time!
Me too!
Josh Johnson is the next Chris Rock. Congratulations Josh, you are not only finny, but incredibly informed, witty and clever. Thank you!
I wanna thank Josh for making me clean the windshield after spitting coffee all over it!
Too damn Funny 🤣🤣
😂😂😂❤
omg i was there lol! You were so awesome to see live. Yall, if you havent gotten a chance to see josh then DO IT! go ALONE if you have to, its WORTH IT!
I’m excited for this in the morning. You’ve been on a good streak. I love your mix of pop culture and personal stories
100/10 Josh Johnson is a top tier comedian fasho
Josh was a guest at the Fred Armisen comedy show I went to in LA at the Largo at the Coronet! Thanks for making my first show there extra memorable, Josh 👏
Thank you for speaking on the problems at Rikers.
I didn't know Eric Adams was working on skirting the regulaors.
Glad for another long stand up routine released. I really needed this Josh. Thank you so much!!
We will be looking forward to you in San Jose, CA. I will start saving up now so I don't miss you, I am a senior and have to save up
For things. You are absolutely briiant, and I am sharing your videos with everyone.
Thank you for the educational entertainment. I'm not American, but this is really entertaining and educational... and concerning too
This dude is officially my favorite current stand up comedian. Top notch stuff
