    Saw him on Taskmaster, and he's probably the funniest comedian I've seen in ages - great sense of surreal humour, 4th wall breaks and dark comedy. Love it

    Fucking hilarious seeing some of these takes from people unfamiliar with Sam. Dude's been on the circuit for several years already, and won the top prize at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022. His comedy is definitely niche but he's doing just fine. Every misinformed comment assuming he's some guy off the street gives me so much life. Keep being you Sam, ya champion.

    my favourite part about this is that Howard is still giving a platform to new, young and fresh comics
    it’s worth remembering that not everybody whom appeared on Good News Extra has gone on to have a career or a successful career in comedy, out of the hundreds whom took the Good News Extra stage are household names, and it’s because they were undoubtedly funny straight outta the gate, notably were James Acaster, Nick Helm, Reggie Watts, Ed Gamble, and Doc Brown - there are many more but these were the stand out names off of the top of my head

    Made me laugh. Loaded with dark Australian sarcasm and surrealism. But I like odd stuff. The loudness didn't bother me - he's creating a larger than life character.

    This guy sold out a 750 seat venue at the fringe last year for a *10 minute set*! 10 minutes! It takes more than 10 minutes to get the audience in or out of that venue, one of the biggest at the festival. That is how funny he is, naysayers. I missed out, he is brilliant!

      @@drdjsparxx Basically it's meant to be seen as an insult towards those of the generation "Baby Boomer". I think it's like those who're 60+ by now. Even though its not really an insult. I know I'm a day late, but hope this helps!
