Thanks for making it freely available to all of us. You are a shining beacon of originality for your generation. Be proud

[@skinnydogkew]

He truly is

[@TheMrChurbro]

Mmmm bacon 🥓

[@tarico4436]

Definitely Chen has some jokes that reflect his generation. Even though I'm about 150 years older than he is, I still laughed.

[@Nayo68]

Beacon is not what goes with eggs and potatoes for breakfast?

Great to have my King back. Love the specials. Netflix pay this man! Get him to do several specials!

[@gpumn1]

Or at least 2

[@countryroadstakemehome]

He is better than netflix.

[@vobzyy]

netflix dont pay the man cos then ill have to pay

[@danypassa]

Disney pay the man, I canceled Netflix

[@sammerrigan8700]

For some reason the ball park phone number half a billion line cracked me up way more than it should have. Great special so far!

[@kiwi1lad]

Me too, thought about it and he’s so right!

[@Rainbowgrrl]

YES!!!

[@oekfoh8684]

Lmao I loved that part too

[@fairy5668]

Same. I saw it live and my stomach hurt from laughing at that bit

[@teardropsonmyfallen]

SAME

[@Akira-888]

He's naturally blessed with deadpan, great timing and understated witty hit shots. Great standup. Look forward to his future lighting up big time. 👍👌🙏👏💐

[@metalgunnerapoorva]

At around 8:15, Aaron was redeployed by his militia leader from general duty on the Savannah to going deep undercover with a pack of Cheetahs. At 18:35, he was trasferred to serve in the tropics. An illustrious career of service.

[@jojobagginz]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed

[@coreycruz2542]

I thought I went mad when the shirt was suddenly different 😅

[@dexaler9008]

I had noticed the crowd was different but thought it was different cameras. Some pretty clever editing to string the 3 acts together.

[@Korea-Lens]

I can't believe he has two of those lol

[@gabrielallen790]

@poolenudel8453 the monotone voice and blank face is part of his style of comedy, whether it's your thing or not. It's called "deadpan humour."

[@johnlittle3430]

I watch basically every special on KZbin, and this one is honestly one of the very best. This kid is an incredibly good joke writer, and the fact that he works clean and I didn't notice for the first 25 minutes speaks volumes about his skill. Would definitely go see him if he showed up at the Buffalo Helium or Niagara Yuk Yuks. Also gonna send this to every comedy fan I know before Aaron blows up big.

[@sheshd]

He's been around a while. Someone needs to give him more air time. Proper funny dude. A bit of Aussie humour but def funny for all.

[@manuelwegeling]

Any other recommendations?

[@johnlittle3430]

@@sheshd For sure! I thought this was recorded at the Comedy Store in L.A. until near the end when I picked up the Aussie accents in the crowd - was also surprised that he didn't adapt his act for what I thought was an American audience. Swapping in miles instead of kliks, that sort of thing. Americans don't even put up with that stuff from us Canucks and we're neighbours, haha!

[@johnlittle3430]

@@manuelwegeling My favourites right now are probably Sam Morril, Mo Asher, Fahim Anwar, Stavros Halkias, Rosebud Baker, Mark Normand, and Hannibal Buress. Nobody super obscure compared to Chen, but that's who I'm liking a lot.

[@fairy5668]

He's already a bit big in Australia lol. He's on TV and stuff. If you can find it, his appearances on Have You Been Paying Attention are always good

[@larrys6111]

Wow, this guy's mind works in mysterious ways. It was very refreshing to experience his humor after watching a lot of mediocre U.S. standup. Hope his career blows up soon!

[@serendipity1237]

I’ve been watching a ton of standup lately, and this guy tops them all. His jokes are truly original, his delivery perfectly complements the content, and he has great timing. It’s true that working clean proves how funny you really are, and this guy has It. Best of luck to you Aaron, you deserve it.

[@skinnydogkew]

So often you see stand ups coming out and hitting hard with a different edge and great material but it’s hard to keep it up. Aaron just keeps getting better. The shows becoming more complex which is not easy to do from the simple model he used while learning the ropes. I’m so happy to see him flourish. Is this too much adoration? Probably

[@Rainbowgrrl]

I feel like he deserves it and dishing out accolades should never be discouraged or too much-more positivity in the world!

[@enso7890]

What other stand ups do you like? I find it almost impossible to find a stand up that can make me laugh. From the new generation I love Aaron Chen, Kabir Singh... Can't think of many others. I like dry intellectual humour.

[@skinnydogkew]

I like the dry stuff too. But my taste is varied. Depends on my mood.

[@skinnydogkew]

@@enso7890 I like Micky Flanagan at the moment but he’s super different to Aaron

[@enso7890]

@@skinnydogkew Thanks.Will check him out.

[@fairy5668]

I saw this live at the Melb comedy fest and got abs from laughing - I had to hold my breath when he said "half a billion" because I knew whatever laugh came out would sound unholy. I've been thinking about that joke roughly once a fortnight ever since. Thanks for uploading. Just a shame this crowd doesn't seem as into it as the comedy fest one.

[@Jenauxn]

Did he do clothes changes at that show, too?

[@andrewhting]

Hahahahha the roughly half a billion killed me
