This is so accurate about the barber’s shop. Don’t forget the TV with the lost remote and the huge stereo. That exactly happened to me a few years ago. I was second but ended up first. I couldn’t say no 😂
best comedy gig Ive seen was in a Barbers in Doncaster, 1 Barber & 1 customer already in chair who grew up with said Barber, they talked to me for 2 hours telling me stories of them growing up and local characters. I laughed so much I could barely walk home my sides hurt that much.
although on a saturday some guys will let plenty of people go first cos they've got kids at home. "I know I've been ages love but the barbers was really busy."
Other than the fact that a haircut costs 10 times less, Indian barbershops are EXACTLY the same. I didn't expect this much similarity halfway across the world...
Considering the fact that the British ruled us for hundreds of years, its not surprising at all that there will be similarities, what got me was its exactly same, even the queue and avoiding a bad barber.
Exactly the same here in Morocco as well. I'm still in awe over how similar of an experience it is despite Morocco and the UK otherwise having very little in common...
Hmm probably cultural thing... Here in Slovakia, both men's and women's hair cutting/styling person is called the same, but cost differently (7 vs 27 eur is a good approximation)... and the word is basically trasnslated as hairdresser... But in last few years, there has been a rise of " barbers" and "barber shops" (called like this, not with any translation) and those are the expensive men's stylists, basically for hipsters and posh and metrosexual men
Same in Norway as far as I'm aware. There was "frisør" (hair dressers) technically unisex but mostly for women and fairly pricy, and "herrefrisør" (men's hairdressers) only for men or from what I could see through the window (since I never visited one) mostly very old men with very little hair on top which, where they seems to spend more time trimming the hair in their ears than the bald head.😅 This was in the 90s in a rural area. In Oslo there probably also were some posh traditional barbers back then I assume, but now there's also very hipstery barbershops with strange names like "Pels pels" ("Fur fur" it doesn't make sense), and also barbershops called that in English that seems to be mostly frequented by young multicultural men getting intricate fades and other hair clippers based haircuts. There's also a chain of unisex "just haircuts, nothing extra" style budget salons called "Cutters" (since they do nothing else) at about the same price level as the barber shops and the cheapest haircuts at the hipster shops.
You have to do this thing when you walk in....you take a mental snapshot of who was there when you arrived and note who has arrived whilst you have been waiting while you thumb through old copies of GQ and What Car. The pressure is subtle, but it's there.
some of these make sense. id imagine some of those fancy titles are cover-ups for "trainee", which can still be a perfectly good service, but may take longer
This reminds me of a visit to a posh, slightly more expensive barbers.. I walked in "oh shite... there are about 7 people sat down...nevermind.. They have got about 5 barbers working today, so I might be alright.. They might get to me quick.. I have my xmas do to get to". Next thing I know "OI! Who's next..." what I thought was the queue looked around "guess it's you.." pointing to me.. All these 7 people, were sat there, waiting for other people to have their haircut. Ohhhhh happy dayssss! Made it to my do. Got sloshed. Got groped by a drunk woman. She was put mysteriously on gardening leave for about 3 weeks after that do. Fun times.
This is why i never go to the hairdresser. Too much hassle for something I don't even know if i'm going to like. That and plus i don't want people's dirty equipment and hands on me
Someone would already be sitting inside waiting..... so you'd know automatically that you're not the 1st person in line. Also, if no one is there waiting for the barber, then you can safely assume you're first.
@@elliotpan anyone who's in the shop when you arrive is in front of you in the queue so you mentally take note of faces. Each time a new face comes in they'll be doing the same. When everyone who was there before you has had their cut its your go and you stand up when the previous customer has paid, to indicate you're next.
I use barbers as hair-salons give me the f͛e͛a͛r͛: the poncey-fuss, & the being extorted for said horror, but 'Easy Barber' is bizarrely sexist in their fees; my hair trim takes under 10mins, yet being female I pay £2 more than blokes having elaborate fiddly-widdly graduated shaves, sometimes involving eyebrows - & ears - & all taking at least twice as much time as mine; very strange 'logic'.. But still cheaper than other places.. 😬
Well done! What a fabulous life you must lead, constantly seeking to be the first to dislike something. I tell you though, you would have to have got up early to beat my mother-in-law at the dislike game!

Dave Gorman really is a master of this. Really funny but also so well observed. That's exactly what a barber's shop queue is like lol.
I remember the multiple "being Barlowed" jokes 😂
The Finish is the 'Something About Mary' haircut.
With a 'Finish' you get a complimentary dishwasher tablet with a smartie!

It's pretty much the standard in most of the modern world!

Pretty much spot on in Czech Republic too. its almost like they have a meeting before opening one.
I remember the day when I found out my barber's had been turned into a 'Tonsorium.' Ye gods!!

I use a barber’s shop.💈 Haven’t been to a hairdresser for over 30 years!
I use clippers. Haven't been to a barber's or hairdresser's for over 30 years!
Same Paul. When we went into lockdown last year. I bought myself a set of clippers from Boots. Don't think I'll ever go back now.
I live just outside Chicago in the states, apparently Barber shops all over the world are exactly the same LOL

I haven't used a barber in years since I started shaving my head myself. I honestly wonder how much money that has saved me.
I thought it would Ken barlowed. Showing my age.

So picking out my largest denomination back note and waving it will not bump me up the line?
Ahhhhh barbers and hairdressers....
Remember them?
0:50 American in the audience
Which one?
@@rayjennings3637that one obviously 😂
Dave did 2 bits in this series on queues/queuing and in both of them there's something named after Gary Barlow
I have no clue what finish means in this context, I wonder if it is anything like finish with a paint job. LOL
This is why i never go to the hairdresser. Too much hassle for something I don't even know if i'm going to like. That and plus i don't want people's dirty equipment and hands on me
Ya, the 1/2 day vs 1/2hr is a big deal, he should've touched on that a bit more
If you haven't seen someone go in before you, how do you know whose in front of you in line?

@@joynulhaque7586 if there's two already inside waiting, or more i mean

Oh my God! Are you serious?
This is how queueing happens in Spain pretty much everywhere. Its normal
These shows were so good. I wonder if he is still working at comedy
Watched him in a sold out show a few days ago... Very funny as ever

I don't know why you are trusting strange barbers for your hair. I'm 34 and I've been going to the same barber since I was about 8.
Unfortunately once the barber you've been going to since you've been a child retires there will never be a suitable replacement.
Me too, I just bring him with me every time I move.
I just searched and found this 13 mins in. I sense Dave.
There is a very easy way to find out if the barber 💈 is bad, just look at his last customer.😏
3, better
Anyone else find that one guy's laugh in the audience annoying?
Not noticed it until I read this, that deep bellowing trying too hard. Sounds like he went to eton
#1....well everyone else does ;)
Is a "haircut" not manscaping?
No, that'd be a full-body close straight razor shave.
*This video is brought to you by Manscaped*
Is he saying "artistic" or "autistic"?
Artistic.
Comedy for total geeks 🤢
Yeah, that’s the point.
@@wheedler fair enough lol, just can't stomach it
