i just said the exact same thing! it was phenomenal! about four minutes in, i paused it to go get refreshments and a snack because I decided i was in for the whole thing. I only got to take one bite because I was belly laughing to tears, and I was so impressed at his ability to read the audience. funniest sh!+ ever!
I thought I’d seen every decent comedian live, or on YT. And this is 7 years old. I just checked Google to make sure he was still alive. That would’ve been awkward. Turns out we’re the same age. Well I guess I know what I’ll be doing all Sunday!😂
Ian Bagg's style is not like a comedian who waits and places a punchline like a carefully placed sniper shot, he is a sheer beast of a machine gunner, targeting all with his jokes. What a talent this man is!
My dearly departed aunt was just like him. She was like a machine gun with jokes for bullets. When I was 10 years old , I got to visit her for the second time since I was born. I couldn't believe how funny she was and brutal too. She had a bad marriage and used humor to cope with the pain and sadness. Worked for me.
@@mortenhyvejle when we visited my aunt for the first time, she saw my little sister's behavior towards her older sister and she asked my Mom, "what's up with the little Hitler"? My Mom was so embarrassed and it was a wake up call to start correcting her behavior.
This is probably one of the best crowd control and audience I have ever witnessed no doubt in the top 3. He had everyone engaged from start to finish, everyone laughing, no one offended wow, what a talent.
Was that the last man doing stand-up? He was literally the funniest one and I just had to find out who that dude's name was and come to find out, it was one of the first comments. Now you my friend is a hero 😎
Saw him 12 years ago at a comedy club in Manchester, CT Never heard of him before that night and have never forgotten his name since.... Ian Bagg is one hilarious finger banging mothafu****
I like Phil the best, as he has a cool vibe and an easy going way about him. This guy was a bit too stiff, despite being funny. And I would not had made fun of the elderly. It’s just disrespectful.
As a Mexican, this made me laugh. Anyone trying to be offended on my behalf……….. don’t. I have a sense of humor. Just find something else to be offended about.
@@KingKeltik - lighten up - maybe Samuel was just rooting out trolls before they appear. I appreciated his comment and took it with good grace, I didn't feel threatened or bothered by it, It wasn't weird to me. Different strokes for different folks. Anyway who died and made you king.
Reminds me of the late great Johnathan Winters. He even slightly resembles him and some of his mannerisms, I mean that as the highest compliment. Not many people can think that quickly on their feet. Totally unrehearsed and spur of the moment, that takes talent.
I've never heard or seen this guy before - until watching this. He's bloody superb!!! A damn good old-fashioned quick-witted comedian, with no-holds barred. Excellent!
I frigging LOVE Ian Bagg!!! He was the opener at the Comedy and Magic Club in the early 00's and was a big fav with the staff and his fellow comics! Great to see him killing it 20 years later!
Doesn't matter how many times I've come across this , can't help but watch it. Ian Bagg is hilarious & works the crowd with ease. When's he over in the UK 2025 ?
This is definitely some of his best work. This crowd is perfection! Everyone having a great time. My guess is NO ONE there will ever forget that experience. True talent and fantastic crowd work! Can't wait to see more! My face is hurting! We need more comics like him! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It wasn't a crowd of professional offended ₩oke vegan try-sexual protesters for ______ .you know, normal people with society contributing jobs, a few kids, try enjoy, get on and with life...
I agree and I was glad to see it was at the Irvine Improv. I took my son there to see Norm MacDonald there and the crowd was the same. If you’re easily offended don’t go to comedy clubs.
His ability to draw out information from people and then weave it all into a rolling wave of mirth and laughter is sheer genius. All the vignettes in this clip are comedy perfection, but for the absolute comedic joy, Dave the intern and his family are priceless! Closely followed by the older gentleman and his lovely wife; he looks like a man whose seen it all before and loved every minute!
i have never laughed so hard in 22 minutes in my entire life! There were several times when I was almost crying, and I had to scan the audience to make sure no one was offended, but everyone was also looking around and laughing hysterically at the same time. I love this guy because he pushed the boundaries with pure genius improvisational comedy, and I am so grateful because I just wanted to laugh.
He's the best comedian I've seen in years. The way he thinks on his feet is genius. By the way, I'm a Brit and we have a tradition of high standards when it comes to comedy.
Ian Bagg is awesome!! There is another part to this where he talks with the women behind the guy in the front. Turns out they work for ministries. it's hilarious.
Now this is what comedy should be a comedian flying off the cuff and a crowd that just goes with it and enjoys it for the sake of a laugh no hard feelings....lovely.
Once my bf and I were eating at Golden Corral when saw his uncle and aunt walk in, he yelled out, " this restaurant is gonna lose money tonight! "😂😂😂 My friend Mary once told her son ,who kept eating, " Paul! The sign says, " All you can EAT Buffet, not EAT all the Buffet!!"
OMGosh! This is one of the funniest stand-up acts I have watched. I love how he incorporates other jokes with his crowd work. And what a great wrap-up at the end with "we should really build a village some place".
I never expected comedy like that from a Canadian, he's great - and the audience, what a fantastic crew - just made it so much more special! Y'all Rock!!
Wow. 1:18 in. I paused it. To save it. Ive never watched this man do his job before, but I know who I want to watch it with. My old ass mom. Gotta laugh with her while we still can.❤
What a fantastic crowd. No one offended, everyone rolling with the punches
@@gonzo9827 no slaps
Agreed!
i would guess many were offended but this genius comedians just know if they should ignore em ..
The perfect crowd.
Fantastic
This has to be the best crowd I have ever seen on a comedy show and this guy nailed it.
This is Christmas and this was so funny nice way to round out the night ! 🎉🎉❤ 😊
Never seen a guy work a room so naturally, so funny. Best stand up i've seen in a long time
I saw him work a single drunk chick for 40 minutes straight and every single minute was a side splitter. Like you said, the guy's a natural.
Super funny! I think he included everybody in that Village.
Totally agree. I'm glad I took a chance on this video
You must not watch many comedians then.
I agree ks, he never stalls, just like a humming bird.
This was the funniest 22 minutes I've ever seen! I never laughed so much, and I needed it. What a crappy ass day. Thanks for the laughs, Ian Bagg.

Where's his Netflix special? He's funnier than a lot of them.

This has to bee the ultimate night for both an comedian, and the crowd.
Good job Ian 👏🏻
I’ll go as far as to say it’s really beautiful to see such a moment enjoyed by all of these people. Your comment is fantastic!
This is probably one of the best crowd control and audience I have ever witnessed no doubt in the top 3. He had everyone engaged from start to finish, everyone laughing, no one offended wow, what a talent.
...and just when I'm thinkin' "buddy, you gotta' move on from the table with the intern," he goes full mentalist! GOLD 😆🤣
Ian Bagg is the GOAT of crowd work. It's pretty much his entire act, and it's amazing everytime you see it because of the sheer variety of jokes.
Was that the last man doing stand-up?
He was literally the funniest one and I just had to find out who that dude's name was and come to find out, it was one of the first comments. Now you my friend is a hero 😎

Lol it's his entire act cause he's got nothing else, and even that is still lacking. 😂
@SoulsOfAmarth it was great the first time I heard him. He's only got creativity rioting going on the same joke 🤣
I like Phil the best, as he has a cool vibe and an easy going way about him. This guy was a bit too stiff, despite being funny. And I would not had made fun of the elderly. It’s just disrespectful.

I'm offended about how hot some Mexican women are
I don't think anybody was trying to be offended on your behalf, stop being weird.

And Samuel has told all the white women to be quiet. Lol
I don't think anyone is offended for you. That's a strange thing to say.
Love it!! “This crowd is so fun we should build a village” 😂😂😂😂
This was a masterpiece in crowd work.
For an insult comic to keep the entire audience laughing is next level.
I was gonna write the same thing, this really is a masterpiece,
never seen such fluid transitions and kept everyone on edge
Reminds me of the late great Johnathan Winters. He even slightly resembles him and some of his mannerisms, I mean that as the highest compliment. Not many people can think that quickly on their feet. Totally unrehearsed and spur of the moment, that takes talent.
I've never heard of him but he's as fast as Don Rickles but even funnier because he's more wide-ranging.
WOW.....................I have never seen ANY crowd react so positive as this. EVERYBODY was rolling with laughter. This guy is a genius.
Don't forget hilarious..🤣
I kept laughing all the way. This guy is a jewel, a gem!
Are you for real? This is boring.
I've never heard or seen this guy before - until watching this. He's bloody superb!!! A damn good old-fashioned quick-witted comedian, with no-holds barred. Excellent!
Same. And his voice is really...comedic!
This is some of the best crowd work I have ever seen. I don't know how I haven't heard of him. This guy has serious skill and talent.
OMG me to never heard of him but now obsessed !
That was the best crowd a comedian could ever imagine. Irvine just knows how to cut loose and have fun.
Irvine?
His name is Ian!
...yes, he had a very accommodating crowd to help with the journey.
@@Raindog1963 It's the town
I missed this show when he was in Oregon… love this guy and he’s willing to take chances to make the room laugh…
Undoubtedly one of I B's very finest performances but bravo also to a wonderful, receptive audience. Thank you very much everyone.

Usually don't go out of my way to watch comedians do crowd work, but this was absolutely incredible. I was laughing the whole way through.
Im so happy I watched this 😂😂😂 the world needs this!
One of the funniest comedians I’ve seen in a long time and quick!
Really enjoyed that. The crowd were loving it, genuinely funny
I have honestly never laughed so hard in my life. The crowd was amazing and the jokes were perfect. The village one got me!
You actually laughed? Really? At this?
@marksavage8052 Ummm...yeah? Hence why I said I laughed. Was that not clear or something?
@marksavage8052 clearly the audience and people in this thread found it funny too so...
Doesn't matter how many times I've come across this , can't help but watch it. Ian Bagg is hilarious & works the crowd with ease. When's he over in the UK 2025 ?
Best comedy skit I've ever seen. This man's a treasure.
That was funny as hell and the audience loved it.
I realize this is a current comedy show but the crowd is like from 25 years ago. All laughing at funny jokes, nobody getting offended.
It's almost as if it's the media and "influencers" that are stirring shit and the general population are actually fairly normal.
He said during it that’s it’s 2015
@@alexcarlough5768 so it’s 9 yrs ago which is current if you are not a youngster.
@@RodSherwood1 not if you think about what’s changed socially since 2015 you could get away with more in movies and stuff… I’m not fighting you guys
Yeah cern has only been fired how many times since 2015? 😅 no worries though right 😅 😅@alexcarlough5768
That was the most phenomenal audience for him to have! It couldn’t have gone any better than that

Watch Phil Hanley's crowd work.
Check out Jeff Leeson. He's incredible.

Great set. Awesome crowd work. Beautiful attitudes In that crowd to laugh at jokes. That's the way it should be.
The crowd was roasted bad but they took it really well. I'm glad he spread the roasting.
This guy's energy is great. He just keeps going 😃👍

do u realize how exhausting this type of comedy is ? Ian is a machine beast !
the "we should build a village together" bit is great to add up all the interactions into a nice callback.
That was a masterful performance. My gut aches from laughing so hard. I really needed that.
Wow! What a show! 😲 This guy was hilarious! 😂Hes REALLY GOOD! 😂

10 minutes in and I’m a new fan. Excellent crowd work and quick as hell with some killer impromptu lines.
Haven't laughed so hard in years. Positively brilliant in wit and outragiousness
This guy has lightning fast wit and the crowd were great too. Hilarious stuff.
I haven’t laugh that much in some time. Well done!
I was glued! Lost track of time! Excellent cadence, excellent comic, masterful crowdwork!
Dan Aykroyd and Burt Reynolds had a baby.
This set was fire and so was the crowd!
Some of the best crowd work I’ve seen in a while. 😅😂
IAN. You are really special and your comedy is so, so welcome these days. NATURAL FEELINGS AND PURE FUN.
He absolutely destroyed, i have never seen a comedian so comfortable and not giving a flying fuck, he just kept it going
You should watch Matt Rife if you like Ian.
@@katesonnenberg79yes , Matt has a great attitude and amazing approach into everything. These two would sell out a tour together .........everywhere👍😎
LMAO! First time hearing Ian and this guy is a comedic genius! 🤣

One of the best shows of all time
Such an unrated comedian,, he is naturally hilarious 😂😂
Ian Bagg has such a quick wit! Hilarious interaction with the crowd, and had them all laughing with each other!
It takes talent and a million hours of dealing with audiences to get to that level of comedy- Brilliant!
This guy was on fire! Riffing on the crowd who were willing accomplices. I had tears in my eyes I laughed so hard.
Just came across this comedian while falling down the RUclips rabbit hole, and he is HILARIOUS! So damn quick with the jokes and comebacks, I love it!
I never expected comedy like that from a Canadian, he's great - and the audience, what a fantastic crew - just made it so much more special! Y'all Rock!!
Whoa! Canadian’s are kinda know for being funny, tastefully
He's actually Australian.
@pupdaddie He is from Terrace BC.
I think this guy is one of the best comedians out there ... They crazier the crowd the better the show
First time watching him and I lovedddd it! You rock! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The MOST NO HOLDS BARRED EVER... wow.. Made it work!
One of the best crowd roasts I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂
