I am so obsessed with him. I can't stop watching him. The humour, the delivery, the jokes, oh my God, pure perfection. He's such a gem. So unique. Love him so much. Such a hot bod too! I copied this from another comment on RUclips (that someone else made) about Diane Morgan but it definitely applies to Joe too.
I thought this performance was wonderful. It wasn't a constant chucklefest, but I don't believe that's what Joe was intending. For me, it was nine straight minutes of bracing myself for what was coming next, sitting on the edge of my seat being steeped in pure awkward, chaotic energy. It was both unique and an experience, and I think everything landed exactly as he intended.
there are a lot of people saying that he’s not the best at stand up but i’m not sure if i agree, i think he’s genuinely very good and is only let down at times by delivery or segwaying; it feels like he hasn’t really had too much practice and i’m genuinely impressed by how well he does here
I’m AMERICAN and I love comediennes from the UK. Joe Wilkinson is one of my favorites. I like several from Scotland but my all time favorite is Richard Ayoade. Thank God for cable and RUclips. You also have some great female comediennes. I guess I just find UK comediennes a lot more funnier than ones from the US. I also love your game shows, talk shows, reality shows and The Great British Baking Show. I do have to admit though that one thing you do that drives me nuts is you end everything you say with a question. LOL. Thank you for teaching me that AMERICANS say wader instead of water. None of us realized it until I heard someone from the UK say how we pronounce it wrong. I correct everyone now. They’re like you’re right we do say wader and not water LOL 🤣😀😂
@@mixtapesfrommylatepartner most people don’t realize there is a different spelling for male or female comedians and most people don’t really cares specially these days. The spelling can go towards a male or female as stupid and as crazy all this he/she/them garbage has gotten. Even though it doesn’t matter thanks for r egg minding me of the different spelling. I’ll pay more attention next time 😄
I am just interested in your point, @@billfindlay2846. Is it that you find him exceptional with every line a winner on the panel show appearances he makes? I guess the reason I am curious is because a couple of the other commenters, here, say something like "I love him as a guest on a panel show but this is cringe" or similar, but, this is an *amazing* set. Multiple big laughs. Unique and consistent style. Compellingly original material. I cannot understand why anyone would have anything bad to say about this, at all. Tl;dr: yes, he is amazing on those game/ panel shows but this set is pretty amazing too.
Just watched it, again, after seeing your comment, @@lazerlord9324, and it is still totally fucking hilarious. Barely a weak spot. Zinger after zinger.
Joe Wilkinson is great. The memory of him calling "Raise/lower the p*ssing winch!" on Cats Does Countdown, among other classics, cheers many a dark moment.
the ep where he reads his poem about naming strangers' penises on Cats is one of my favourite things to watch on here. Never gets old, and I particularly love that it's one of the few times he's even cracked himself up.
@@timbogym9038 I don't agree. I feel like what makes him funny is how random, weird and different he is. He works on 8 out of 10 cats because hes able to break up segments of the show and give it some relief here and there. But the randomness goes against him in this. He works very well in situational stuff but him on stage on his own is just cringe worthy.
@@Jack-jb4qd We agree he is random, weird and funny. Just watch how many laughs he gets before he evem says a word.. He is good at working the audience, and it will go a long way in developing material. The fact is you have to to put the time in on stage and DEVELOP which he has not finished doing yet.
@@Jack-jb4qd look at chris rock, dave chapelle, kevin heart, luis ck.. they all bombed when they began their careers and it took a long time for them to find what works for them.
I love this man. Very reminiscent of Larry David's old stand up routines. Larry would come out, stare at the crowd, say something like "not feeling it" and then just leave the stage. I think Joe is at his best when he's playing off other people but the Ebay bit killed me.
The advantage of facing the cistern is that if your feeling too hot you can just lean forward and put your forehead on the porcelain and cool off . I find it refreshing . having a shite with a chilled brow . Now that is living the dream
A lot of people seem to be either one or the other. Might be because they need to tailor their act to such a wider audience as they usually go on tour and do it all over the country so it doesn't quite feel like 'them' anymore. Alan Davies, Sean Lock etc are AMAZING on panel shows, awesome quick wit but their standup is so underwhelming compared.
@@benwilliams3539 Sean Locks first standup DVD was incredible. Lockipedia was godawful. Purple van man is good but just not the same. Sean would be the funniest drinking buddy out of all the 8ootcdc gang. With Wilkinson a close second and Rachel just there to look at.
that "weirdo on the bus" bit was brilliant when he said it on a panel show, the rest of the panel was nearly in tears laughing... here it just blends into this general weirdness that is his routine
i feel the same with Jon, Son of Richard, he can be hilarious on panel because it's not just just him there, he helps the humor stay varied, just like Son of Wilkin, but when the whole show consists of only their own style of (dare i say "quirky") humor ... then the jokes lose this "unusual" value they have
@@memorless Aye I think half the issue with him is he needs someone to both be compared to/juxtaposed + he needs to be (or at least feel like he's) talking to someone. It all just comes off as extremely stiff and artificial when he's doing it by himself.
I think Joe is one of those comedians that works best bouncing off of others. Put him on a show with other comedians, like Cats does Countdown, Last Leg, HIGNFY, etc, he's gold. Here, having to lead the conversation on his own, for whatever reasons doesn't work. I do like Joe a lot, but he works far better with others than he does solo.
that audience didnt find it funny i thought he was well funny distinct way of telling jokes that people who watch friends on the weekend wont find funny.
If it's not his fault, then I don't know whose it is. The material should be funny to us whether there is laughter or not, otherwise we're just laughing to be part of the flock. One only has to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm to see how this works best.
@@aset317 Totally agreed. He felt stiff, poorly prepared, artificial/forced, and his gimmick of "being that awkward guy" is already a lot harder to do when you're on your own, so it's absolutely a disaster when he does it badly... Not trying to be an ass for the sake of being an ass, cos I really like Joe's stuff and I genuinely felt disappointed (and a bit sorry for the crowd that probably wanted to laugh a lot more than they did for him).
I discovered panel shows less than a month ago and now its all I watch. My dreams are filled with the voices of John Richardson and Sarah Millican. Thank you, RUclips. As an American, I would have never heard of these flowers
“I just named your penis… You’re welcome.” 🤣🤣🤣👍 That segment of 8/10 Cats does Countdown was one of the funniest moments of televised comedy I have ever seen. There was just so much to love. For starters, Johnny Vegas’s poem was genuinely moving and brilliant, and then the way Joe’s poem made every other panellist genuinely lose their shit was just an extra gift. “Captain Birdseye” made me weep with laughter. The next best moment on the show was Sean Locke’s ad lib “That’s a challenging wank.” Still piss myself every time I think of it.
Those who say he isn't funny don't live in England, you have to live there to get the banter, the way they talk, present the jokes etc I think he was funny on him and her TV show
Balls. I'm an Aussie and I totally get Joe. were you trying to make an observation about Americans? I think he has plenty of fans from there who've largely seen him on RUclips clips. They're not all stupid... I mean, they've had lots of awesome offbeat comedians of their own. Larry David, Steven Wright... f**king Bobcat Goldthwait, man - and heaps of Americans love all sorts of British comedy. That might not have been what you were inferring, though...
I actually enjoy his standup.. it's not rip yer guts out funny, but he's a smart guy, with issues.. and it resonates... :) or Oo depending on what you think.
So much comedy gatekeeping in this comment section. “If you do:t think it’s funny you don’t get comedy”. Tone it down Jerry Seinfeld. Not everyone has to like everything.
Joe is hilarious in Afterlife. This is my first time watching him do stand up and I am so sorry to his stand up fans in advance but I found him to be woefully unfunny.
Joe is naturally very funny with great observations off the cuff, and a lovely bloke, but stand up just isn't his thing, but that's fine same as the late great Sean Lock, 10 times funnier off the cuff than any standup comedian, but not the best standup, I actually think there is something in that, as iv never laughed at great stand ups when they aren't doing standup but try to be funny in conversation or on a panel show
Those of you thinking “he’s so funny on panel shows” we’ll that’s because all the jokes are planned in advance. Notice how every time Jimmy Carr asks him a question he always has a witty comeback or a pre prepared monalougue or prop ? Very fake
![BEST OF Kevin Bridges On Stand Up For The Week [PART ONE] Jokes On Us](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/k6yzRyzwZQM/mqdefault.jpg)
I'd watch Joe read the Yellow Pages. He's just a funny bloke.
I can second that. He is so funny

Sitting on the lap of the bus driver was funny

How short are you?
He should do stand up with Fabio there!
👏🏼
Stop waving!!
Naming penises at the urinal in a train station is possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever heard!
brilliant, legend
It took me awhile to understand Joe's humor and comedic style, now I'm going through stuff I didn't think I liked and finding it hysterical.
Just to clarify, the e in ebay stands for echo, not electronic.
not his best set, but still love him all the same
He’s way better at sketches an panel shows than stand up

Comedy gold
That audience had NO idea what to do with "electronic bay".
You only have to look at him and you start laughin!

Joe has a bloody brilliant mind 😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Here from the Chatabix podcast
I don’t get why everyone is saying he’s better on panel shows. I think his stand up is just as funny.
Joe still manages to look a shambolic wreck when dressed in a suit
Anyone know if there's more videos of Joe Wilkinson available on RUclips?.
Check his stand up on russel Howard's good news, he smashes it
E4 channel has dozens of Compilations of comedians on panel shows, there many of solely Joe stealing the show
Bit late I know but hes very funny on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, as is everyone on that show.
Fuckin genius!!
Joe is Hilarious!! I think this particular audience was half dead.
I'd be surprised if traces of coffee were found in Starbuck's shit.
I actually liked this it was so edgy at times it was funny.
Was it just a tough room? He had a nightmare there and the material was solid, I thought.

Didn't find a bit of this funny. Love him on panel shows but this is cringe.
Great randomness on panel shows, mainly because he has references to work with, when it's just him 100% ...his randomness is too much, it's senseless
He doesn't seem right here, even the way he talks is different..... Different accent almost. He's 10/10 on 8/10 cats does countdown
