    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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 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
