I also just saw him for the first time on David Letterman (Thurs. 3/27/09) and I have not laughed that much and hard in a long time. I thought he was very, very funny and had a great delivery of jokes. The audience was also laughing so much because he WAS funny!! Anybody have more of him to post?
I really hope that you stand up on stage and do comedy, because if not this guys timing and delivery were great and he kept it simple. So people like you could possibly get it. Critics are great but at least appreciate stand-up art for what it is dude. This guy has IT and he wouldn't be there if he didn't.
Yes, he was supposed to go on with the nest limp joke. I didn't say he was waiting for the applause to END...more like waiting for it to start. Perhaps he kept doing it because of the undeserved positive feedback he received with his opening jokes. I think the crowd surprised him, ("you think that was FUNNY?"). Haven't seen the guy perform in almost a year, and haven't sought him out, either
I didn't say LAUGHING necessarily. More like actual applause, almost as if they were encouraging a struggling youngster who was attempting to recite"Casey at the Bat" from memory. And he didn't wait for the applause to end, but begin.
Just saw Brian for the first time, (Letterman 3/27/09). Seems like a nice guy, but only moderately amusing, imo. The punchlines were predictable. I came to check him out on this forum, and the above performance was only slightly funnier than the one I had just witnessed on Letterman. And btw, what is up with audiences anymore. A round of applause after every (tepid) punchline?? Brian even seemed to wait for applause on a couple of occasions. Could be funnier and still clean, I believe.
Hope you reread this comment 14 years later to realize how ridiculous it was. It's rare to see someone express their hilariously and thoroughly wrong thoughts with such pride. lol
