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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.❤
Bagg is great! He's really good. Crowd work is difficult. He grasps the awkwardness and does so well with it it's very hard to stand up in front of people and yet he does a great job.
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".
Fantastic crowd, terrific material, Ian has the fastest wit and the most intelligent comebacks... What a treat to have been in the audience that 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 has to be the best crowd I have ever seen on a comedy show and this guy nailed it.
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 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.

Same. And his voice is really...comedic!

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

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..🤣

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!
One of the funniest comedians I’ve seen in a long time and quick!
Best comedy skit I've ever seen. This man's a treasure.
Undoubtedly one of I B's very finest performances but bravo also to a wonderful, receptive audience. Thank you very much everyone.
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 !
I kept laughing all the way. This guy is a jewel, a gem!
Are you for real? This is boring.
This is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!! The crowd was great and Ian was ingenious!! Very clever and super quick!!
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.
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
Literally the best comedian I’ve seen in 10 years.
weird cuz norm died less than 3 years ago.
I agree this guy is very good
True
He really great I mean it ,just great,love from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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.
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
This is a perfect comedy show. He tells JOKES and everyone LAUGHS. No one is offended. Everyone goes home happy
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...

Agreed!
Right I love it zero fks given and so funny offended people can't even be offended 😂😂😂
Fr!! Wish I was there for that. I’m in tears over here 😂😂
Watch Phil Hanley's crowd work.
Check out Jeff Leeson. He's incredible.
10 minutes in and I’m a new fan. Excellent crowd work and quick as hell with some killer impromptu lines.
do u realize how exhausting this type of comedy is ? Ian is a machine beast !

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...

OMG! That was great! That's the best crowd work I have ever seen! His work and the audience's response have renewed my faith in humanity!
This guy's energy is great. He just keeps going 😃👍
"Get my eatin' shorts, I'm about to fuck up a buffet!"
I'm hoping I remember that one for the rest of my life!! And have an opportunity to steal it! 😂
I died
The crowd was roasted bad but they took it really well. I'm glad he spread the roasting.
Now this guy is funny as heck. Had us laughing so hard we were crying. I wud NEVER get offended at comedy like this.
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.
This is the most I’ve laughed at a comedian in so long
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👍😎
the "we should build a village together" bit is great to add up all the interactions into a nice callback.
This guy has lightning fast wit and the crowd were great too. Hilarious stuff.
A STAR is born! WOW!!!
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 was glued! Lost track of time! Excellent cadence, excellent comic, masterful crowdwork!
Dan Aykroyd and Burt Reynolds had a baby.
Possibly one of the funniest sets I’ve ever seen
Glad to see people have thick skin and laugh at themselves instead of being woke and offended.
Agree great man ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some of the best crowd work I’ve seen in a while. 😅😂
That was the most phenomenal audience for him to have! It couldn’t have gone any better than that
i've never heard of this guy before but omg he killlllled it with the crowd work WOW hilarious i kept laughing out loud
Epic crowd work. Dude thinks on his feet. Well done 🤣
That was funny as hell and the audience loved it.
Wow, what a brilliant show. The crowd was to die for. He makes it look so easy but man thats one hard thing to pull of.
That was a masterful performance. My gut aches from laughing so hard. I really needed that.
It takes talent and a million hours of dealing with audiences to get to that level of comedy- Brilliant!
Love it!! “This crowd is so fun we should build a village” 😂😂😂😂
One of the best comedy skits I’ve heard in a long time !!
Outstanding !! 😂😂😂😂
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.
Such an unrated comedian,, he is naturally hilarious 😂😂
Superb, one of the best ever crowd work!
First time seeing him. He's really funny. I like sharp-witted comedians.
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.
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.❤
Ian Bagg is a stone cold killer!!! Crowd work Yoda!!!
I think this guy is one of the best comedians out there ... They crazier the crowd the better the show
reminds me of Dan Akroyd. 😂😂
Mixed with Robin Williams 😊
They are both Canadian
Totally
He does remind me of him… thanks for saying that I have been wondering who he reminded me of and Dan Akroyd is it
@@Turfsurfer62 No problem first person I thought of from his SNL days
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Thank you for keeping comedy the way it was. Making fun of other people. 😂

This is a great crowd!

Man the world needs more of this, everyone laughing having a good 😂👍🏻
Top comedy, not laughed this much for a while.
the "village" comment was so funby!! 😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂❤❤❤😂
First time seeing Ian. He is very entertaining.
I like when the jokes are open and not pointing at the individual. good job
Ian you're an absolute legend. I laughed so hard I nearly passed out.
Thx for capturing and sharing this moment ❤
He has the energy of Robin Williams w/a little of Robin’s voice.
That was absolutely gold!
This set is so good, you can watch it many times and it still is so funny. The crowd was just amazing, great sports all
Ian popped up on my feed tonight and while I’ve not heard of him before, I watched this video and he totally made my night! This guy is comical gold!
