I just got back from a gig tonight where Steve Hughes was supporting Reginald D Hunter in Maidstone, Kent, UK. He was totally brilliant. Completely brilliant. Obviously not as toned down as this clip from BBC TV. There were hints of the late great Bill Hicks in his act. Loved it to bits. Cant wait to see more of him. Fantastic.
0:28 think the "Bjork's been doing rituals..." reference to the flights being grounded in Europe due to volcanic ash from Iceland risking air travel, went right over most of their heads.
I was stranded in the UK a few days because of that. I knew exactly what he meant immediately. Probably was doubly so to those who live in the country effected. It’s possible Trent was correct and it just wasn’t very funny.
@@negativeindustrial I find that very funny... but only since getting the explanation. You can't get ALL references all the time, so nothing to be ashamed off if it went over your head; it's normal. Often if we don't laugh at a reference joke, it's because we're a little embarrassed about our lack of knowledge on the subject.... isn't it?
I’m Irish and it was crazy when we found out about the smoking ban. Madness, altogether the last weekend before the ban, now that was carnage. In the pubs
True enough. Although to be fair, I'd watched more than a couple dozen videos and yet mowing Ireland was new to me... Hence your "most" of his routine bit. True enough.
I live in Ireland and was out that night. That he smoking ban came in to enforcement. I was at the Super furry animals gig in the Olympia Theater then went to a pub . at 00.00 they removed all the ashtrays but said smoking outside was optional till tomorrow.
he is just a great comedian, I love hicks but ive never made a connection between them, they are just both great comics that speak their mind and push things a bit, carlin was same but carlin and hicks arnt similar.
I'm an American and I've been to several other countries. He is absolutely correct. It's a bit of a mind screw to visit a country the size of some cities in my homeland.
Man I know how he feels, I am so sick of our government legislating for every damn potential threat to the human race. The road toll, the road toll! The road toll hovers around the same figure every year which suggests that for a population of this size that we can expect that level of fatality on the road. We are never going to stop people from dying on the roads so stop legislating and driving everyone nuts!
They generally have for example ..... 200 jokes & do 60 - 70 a set so if you see the same comedian a few times you will hear jokes you have previously ...... until they start 100s of dollars per ticket or get a Netflix special / DVD deal .
I find its just the big cities that are bad everyone is in a rush and very impatient. Whereas smaller cities they aint so bad. I grew up in townsville worked 2 weeks in Sydney for work. after that 2 weeks i vowed never to drive in Sydney again.
the driving part was my favourite. livin' near NYC sucks with driving. i always said, i wish i had a car made of rubber so i could smash into everyone and just bounce around them. can't freakin' wait to get outta NY
yeah, they've got laws about smoking in pubs and restaurants in romania too but the owner chooses what kind of establishment it is, for smokers or non smokers and they state that at the entrance. i think 5% of the establishments in this country are for non smokers. yay!
Trawled his works...This guy is brill. :)) Mega Funny and relevant issues discussed. If your reading this Steve...A lot of stuff going on, sure you can...Sure ya Can! Let it out! X
and so right about the health part. not about health, about control. same thing goes for obamacare. not at all about health but power. but anyways, i love the way he ends his bits. ya ever see when he counted down the clock and then they stopped it on him? hahaha
