Interesting and unique. Funny, dry, droll, absurd sense of humor. Familiar and surreal all at once. Handsome dude; the camera loves him. It feels like he's uncovered something new in comedy. He might have quite the career ahead of him.
What a pretentious comment and you have a lame sense of humor this is the kind of stand up middle school students who think they have a sense of humor enjoy
I mean this as the absolute biggest compliment EVER. He’s so WEIRD! I’m weird so I love him so much. Los Espookys & the SNL skits he wrote are hilarious.
Oh dear goodness, that was bloody hilarious. I’ve literally just been caught so beautifully unawares as to this particular brand of surrealism because he truly and honestly did manage to make me laugh right out loud (so much so that my neighbours now love him too). It’s like he breathed a fresh brand of new life into that stale and cliched old trope of the irrepressible style of dry British deadpan humour, yet in my opinion, this young man revived it into something way much funnier. What a delightful treat, I’m so gleefully happy right now……and deservedly so in my opinion because I’ve had an atrocious night and this just goes to show that laughter truly is the best medicine at times.

@@tinaw.6178 I’ll certainly try. I do live in the UK though so you’d need a satellite and Sky Atlantic in order to access any HBO content, that or purchase it’s streaming service.
He's an original. Do you know how rare that is in this field? Now almost everyone who picks up a microphone, thinks they are original. They are wrong. He is.
If you are a comedian, and you are onstage, and there are laughs, you are the definition of a winner. That is winning in comedy; there is nothing else.
Yes, knowing the kind of distinctive humor Julio does, when he said the shirt was part of how he convinces people he's a star, I was utterly prepared for him to talk about how he used to be an asteroid.
This guy is one of my favorite new comedians without a doubt. Been following him for a year or so now. Wrote for SNL, has a show with Fred Armisen, and has a small but loyal and growing fan group for his standup . He’s gonna be big one day, I believe it. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched everything he’s done twice. Him and Moses Storm are gonna be too dogs one day.
Gold. Well-worth the build-up. Craig's list...you knew it would be unexpected, but expected. Can't get enough of how funny communicating in another language can be. Not as an insult to those brave and industrious enough to jump in to a new language and culture with both feet - nothing but respect. I pray that there is footage (haw haw haw) of this sax magician's routine somewhere online. If that's his only trick, however...damn.
Last thing in the world I would expect him to be is a comic. He would be a great add to SNL. He could play in so many sketches. Love to see him with Pete Davidson.
When i did interviews and they asked me why i came to them i answered 'money. Makes the world move around and my #1 priority. The more you pay me the bigger chunk of my life you get'. They do like that answer
'Dick saxophone' is a very David Sedaris story and proves that if you want to be a humorist, you must answer as many classified ads as possible, preferably in a large insane American city. But be careful.
lol knowing that they are there and selling.....those weird magazines in my case more the chairs and closets that are never used or bright white sweaters at thangsgivingdiner that never get dirty or smelly..bright bright white.
I felt this hard. When I was 18, I interviewed for Peet's Coffee and when asked why I wanted to work there I responded, 'I like coffee.' I was not called back...
Being a good comedian is like Quentin Crisp's definition of happiness: 'You must find out *WHO* you are, and *BE* that person as hard as you can.' There is no point imitating other performers or repeating other people's jokes. You must be yourself, and find your own jokes in your own character. If this lad jumped about like Russell Brand, or tried to be a loud, blue-collar dude like Bill Burr, think how false and what a failure that would be.
WOW I just realized that the jazz player meant to post job as "Musician's Assistant" and not "Magician's Assistant". How did we get this skit and Bobby's interview with Suki in the same universe?
@@jscorpio1987 Ha Ha...okay, the I'll buy him a car, fully furnished house with a swimming pool, and furnish him with an American Express credit card...with no limit!!!
Omg! Julio Torres looks EXACTLY like my daughters boyfriend Robbie! I swear it's his twin! & That's a good thing! ❤️💜 Anyhow .aside from that- I like his comedy! Good stuff! Lol laughter is the BEST-NO matter what!!! Yea??🤩
Guys, you all are like oh he's not funny blah blah..', He's onstage for 20 minutes and he keeps the audience with him the whole time. Those pauses and little 'uh's and 'um's are all scripted in his head; they're all planned; the soft voice, the courteous and yet somehow sort of steely personality: all designed. This is comedy the way a car is a car, and it works the way that a car runs, because you can hear the engine running.
I miss the risk podcast show. I also miss the notion that if we could all just know each other, then peace MUST follow. But I'm not so sure I feel that way anymore.
@@90klh That's great! Can you let us know why you didn't know we were still going so we can fix any issue that may have caused that? We never stopped publishing new episodes so we're confused as to why you thought we'd gone away.
@@RISKshow I used to listen on apple podcasts, and I think their feed went dead or something - I use podcastaddict now, and I hadn't looked it up- it's not as good as apple at suggestions; really it's my habit of living under a rock lol
I gotta say this here because I don’t want to ruin your app store reviews, but you’re a podcaster, not a radio dj. I can’t skip the music intermissions fast enough when I’m listening, and for a show that is always saying it’s strapped for cash, you could eliminate the music interludes and probably save a decent amount of dough. Other than that, the show’s great
Thanks for being mindful about where you posted this feedback, and for listening to the show. You can also always email us at Kevin@risk-show.com. Music has been an integral part of RISK! since the beginning and is something that sets the show apart from other shows. It would absolutely be less expensive if we had never started using it, but now that we're hundreds of episodes deep, stopping using music going forward wouldn't lower our costs as long as we keep the old episodes with music available, which we need to, so we may as well keep using music. Most feedback we've gotten on the music has been very positive. In fact, this may be the first complaint about it in 15 years of doing the show, but to each his own.
very funny guy. Love Los Espookys but he mumbles so much here you miss the joke...even the english subtitles miss his words because he mumbles on the key words to his jokes

wow ok thanks for your comment...JULIO TORRES OR JULIO TORRES' ABUELA
Baaaaaahahahahaha!!!!!
Look at him now!
What a pretentious comment and you have a lame sense of humor this is the kind of stand up middle school students who think they have a sense of humor enjoy
I mean this as the absolute biggest compliment EVER. He’s so WEIRD! I’m weird so I love him so much. Los Espookys & the SNL skits he wrote are hilarious.
I never knew about Julio until he was on with Seth last week. I love him. I can't believe he's 37. He, even now, looks barely 20.
"This feels like a Q & A, where no Q was asked"
Oh gosh story of my life.

How can I be like him?
Do you watch Los Espookys?
I’ve not even heard of it unfortunately.
@@connieoshea its an HBO show with Julio (and others), very very funny!! They just finished the second season, check it out
@@tinaw.6178 I’ll certainly try. I do live in the UK though so you’d need a satellite and Sky Atlantic in order to access any HBO content, that or purchase it’s streaming service.
He's an original. Do you know how rare that is in this field? Now almost everyone who picks up a microphone, thinks they are original. They are wrong. He is.
This dude is hilarious. Love the slow build up and the very dry humor.
Julio is the best comedian to emerge in a very, very, long time. A true original.
JORIAL John Richard Allan you would like Fred Armisen.
Fred Armisen is great yeah. I love "One Man Show"
How can I be as creative and original and funny as they are?
If you are a comedian, and you are onstage, and there are laughs, you are the definition of a winner. That is winning in comedy; there is nothing else.
I love corporations
Alyshia McKee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Julio Torres is such a delight.
I love how he takes his time with his stories it adds to the comedy and dramatics
he's so adorable i just want to hug him
He is such a good story teller I’m obsessed
I would agree it's interesting, and I know the slow movement of his act is the act, but it drives me crazy waiting.
I got used to his delivery pretty easily, and than I loved every minute of it. This is my second time watching it lol
His shirt is basically Mickey's hat in Fantasia!
Yes, knowing the kind of distinctive humor Julio does, when he said the shirt was part of how he convinces people he's a star, I was utterly prepared for him to talk about how he used to be an asteroid.
Great story teller, and delivered on the funny situations. A+
BRILLIANT!!!!!! Like his pacing as he tells the stories. I think the Magician meant he was a Musician but it's still funny as hell.
This kid is amazing.
He’s like 30
I NEED his shirt.
MusingsofaJay♡ same
His mom and sister make a lot of awesome clothes for him.
Is that the Alaska Flag (Benny's flag)?
Fine. You can have his shirt. Leave the rest of him for me.
byron p I’d rather him just not wear anything in the first place.
That was hilarious! Such good timing and so many punch lines, I was cracking up the whole time!
Rofllll, thank you Seth Meyers for having this guy on your show - I've been on a binge since then!!
Look up "Wells For Boys" and "Sectionals" if you want to see some of his work as an SNL writer.
nlpnt will do! Ty!
nlpnt “Wells for Boys” was spot on. #momofsensitiveboys
@@nlpnt thanks for the recs!
He was most entertainable, young fellow and he just drew me in with his dialogue I had to listen to it to the end
I know this doesn’t matter to literally anyone else, but I just pushed this video to 3K likes and I feel so happy for Julio 🤧
Where have I been. Thus guy is pure GOLD
20:50 i find this comforting, because maybe if whatever I'm up to now really doesn't fit, life has other options out there

crowe bobby hecwrites for SNL.
Yup, he’s been a writer on SNL for years.
@@jennifertaber7794 Thanks, didn't know that. Never heard of him before.
crowe bobby that’s crazy you said that and he’s already a writer there haha. Would love to see him do a couple of sketches himself though.
@@MrCrowebobby I found out about him because I would consistently love sketches that turned out to be his
I like his Kajagoogoo hair cut and how he slides his punchlines into the the story. Refreshing approach.
Hey folks the delivery is a part of the joke!
it's rare that I find someone new and instantly 'fall in love'. the guy's got something special, he's so seductive...
Genius !!!! Comedic genius !!!
When i did interviews and they asked me why i came to them i answered 'money. Makes the world move around and my #1 priority. The more you pay me the bigger chunk of my life you get'. They do like that answer
Watch "Los Espookies" on HBO 👌🏾
Been meaning to catch that! I have a feeling Julio is going to be big soon. Already has a show with Fred Armisen. It’s only up from here.
Good Gaia so young, clever, charming and together. Looking fwd to seeing your career develop.
So damn adorable!!
'Dick saxophone' is a very David Sedaris story and proves that if you want to be a humorist, you must answer as many classified ads as possible, preferably in a large insane American city. But be careful.
Original guy, great pace and bits. Good job!
I love seeing how he's refined his jokes to still contain the same dry absurdism but in a much more sparkling and punchy way.
Such an original style! A talented young man with a bright future ahead.
We never found out why the saxophone player advertised for a magician's assistant.
The world may never know!
5 minutes into los espookys and I got a new celebrity crush
That boy is breaking new ground.
"Like why" hahahahaha. Everyone mad at this guy hasn't talked to anyone queer and under 30 years old.
Lmao right?! I say that all the time. He’s hilarious.
he is a very funny person!!!! I would hope to see him do more...
LOL candles that you never light magazine :P
lol knowing that they are there and selling.....those weird magazines in my case more the chairs and closets that are never used or bright white sweaters at thangsgivingdiner that never get dirty or smelly..bright bright white.
I think I just fell in love... 💜
His New School comment was spot on 😂😂😂
I like his off the wall, quirky delivery . He reminds me of Maria Bamford.
He's seems so awkward and that just makes him even more adorable.
This is my favorite Risk story ever on the 500th episode....
Love this guy
this makes me feel better about some of my interviews lol
One of the best up and coming.
First off, omg I adore him ❤️ but secondly, his voice sounds like Kumail Nanjiani, who I also adore ❤️
They sound nothing like each other.
Funniest man in comedy today!!
You're so funny. Thanks.
If this is a true story, I have to see this saxophone!! Funny stories.
I want to give him a hug
He is HILARIOUS.
I felt this hard. When I was 18, I interviewed for Peet's Coffee and when asked why I wanted to work there I responded, 'I like coffee.' I was not called back...
Very well done. You remind us of the guy who played Bruno and Chris Aable - they could easily fit in to play your brother or cousin in TV or film.
Phenomenal!
I loooooove him!!
Great comedy! Great story well told!
he is so beautiful
his hair is perfect
Who’s the tickle monster now?
Love him!
He’s a delight on Los Espookys on HBO!
Words of the year. Ahhh, ahh and ahhhmm.
It’s halarious in a different way!
This comedian was funny and had me laughing. He is awesome and now where and what is he doing?
Jerrysalsa 64 he writes for SNL
Jerrysalsa 64 he does monologues n segments for on the tonight who with jimmy fallon
Watch Los Espookys on HBO!
He has a special called “my favorite shapes” on HBO and it is amazing
he either clawed his way to stardom or he knew somebody. I like this kind of comedy, many people don't understand it

I want him more! I’ll buy him a car AND house if he asks me.

Call me crazy, but at 5:25 i can see ecos of his hands.
I wish he was my friend

Is that zack Morris?
