Amazing job Chris!

I’m 6ft5 and also bisexual, and i am definitely stealing the bi and large joke

[@izziharris5810]

same

[@W3AFed]

As a 5'11 guy, I'm distraught that I'm only a couple inches off being able to use it haha.

[@emmynoether9540]

Would someone explain the joke to me? English is my second language and I am not sure I get it.

[@W3AFed]

@@emmynoether9540 By and large is an expression meaning "the most" it's a play on words of "bi and large" So he's saying that being bisexual and tall are his most noticeable qualities.

[@Wanna-Blue]

6’7, so yeah :D quite possibly same

[@sandy.mp3610]

I love the poster in the background that says 'Scissoring, and other lies'

the blue lights represents his attraction to boys and thats where he is in a small room by himself indicating he's not that open about it, and the pink light represents his attraction to girls and he's on stage in front of people indicating he doESNT FEEL LIKE HE HAVE TO HIDE THAT SIDE OF HIM

[@lulumidget]

You're brilliant

[@alyssaisabelle1931]

The fact that they used someone who is actually bi makes me incredibly happy.

[@nabzz7026]

Wait Chris is bi?

[@alyssaisabelle1931]

Nabihah Needs Geesus yes, he says it in one of his older videos where he listed a bunch of facts about himself(:

[@n4ko]

@@alyssaisabelle1931 can u really tell what videos hes actuallly serious ? xD

[@martinszymanski2607]

yeah because it's not like actors can act bisexual or anything, not like acting is all about pretending to be someone you're not either

[@MaiaSmithy]

The beginning really gave me Fleabag vibes with the sudden direct audience address and abruptly cut to a short title sequence. Such a beautiful and realistic view on sexuality

[@RoLaarr]

that is one of my favourite shows and i agree so much ahhhhh my bi heart is so happy and full

[@TimH]

congrats bud, it's so sharp :) love it

[@isabell6964]

Wow this is absolutely incredible. It was so nice to see some bi rep; we always seem to get forgotten about in the LGBTQ+ community, especially bi men. Chris, as always, was hilarious and I love how he got to show off the more serious and emotional side of his acting skills. This film was fantastic, I loved it 💕💜💙

[@lulumidget]

*cough* Augustus Waters *cough*

[@Coyw33]

As a bi man myself I would like to announce my disdain for this film implying I should let the people I am hoarding go... I enjoy being greedy and you've given them false hope that they can leave.

[@songwithoutword]

You do it! Hoard them all, Clive lovey. Release not a single one.

[@Sentientmatter8]

[@midgesocks]

Sammy could've just tweeted that he didn't like Spider-Man 2 but he did this instead

[@franismakingasandwich460]

woah hey, hold on there midge! It’s not the masterpiece that is Spider-Man 2, it’s the garbage that is The Amazing Spider-Man 2

[@yourdailydoseofpepsi4353]

midge cerys BI N LARGE!

[@Sentientmatter8]

A bisexual lead, played by a bisexual actor in a film written and directed by a bisexual person. I'm imploding. Also, 3:40 is relatable as hell.

[@amosbehavedcalm]

So I guess this is Sammy telling us something. Something about The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

[@abbieward557]

“Go with what’s easier?” this hits so hard. You do it because you don’t have to keep explaining yourself and you don’t have to worry about what others think because it’s the ‘norm’. I hope one day I can be as comfortable with my sexuality as this. Definitely the best film you’ve ever done, beautifully done.

[@crazyenzy3008]

"It turns out that being bi just means getting rejected twice as much..." Ouch

[@amaya3387]

Very true though

[@Littlehickish]

Oh wow Chris Kendall reminded so bizarrely of Jim Carrey for a few moments

[@galioth123]

Yes!!! He has made reference to the fact that Jim Carrey is an inspiration to him. I remember in one of his sadder videos he glumly mentioned, "its like I'm trying to be the British Jim Carrey or something"

[@Artdefines06]

same! I think the outfit and hair helped complete the look

[@bieryasan]

the ending though holy shit this is so well made

[@Inominifia]

I'm stupid I don't understand the ending,, can you please explain?

[@nathanthomas8076]

So good seeing something about us bi people for once! But now I just really want to get tickets to this show which isn't real :(

[@PunkHerr]

It's not? F**k...

[@aletheRocK97]

just wanting you to know that i am giving you a standing ovation to the both of you, i'm in my bedroom alone but i think it's counts. This is amazing. I didn't realize how much I needed to finally hear someone else talk about what being bi is like. I feel less alone in my experience now.

[@jenninefaruque6903]

alexxassa tell me why I read that as ovulation

[@amyukulele]

the poster choices in the dressing room shots!! clever clever clever

[@vic-1o7]

this is more bi representation than i have seen in literally all mainstream movies combined

[@saramartins95]

DAMN SAMMY THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! the colours! chris! the jokes and the parts that broke my heart cut together! spiderman 2! wow wow wow wow wow wow

[@fayevieren4072]

representation in the form of stand-up comedy is my favourite kind of representation

[@sleeping885]

as a bi person, all of this rang so true. such a great film, on so many levels

[@yeetbitch6214]

The bisexual colors all over this- a masterpiece

[@kellyv6075]

Good eye

[@MyoticTesseract]

I think the most impressive part of this was that you made me nearly forget Chris Kendall was Chris Kendall for 9 minutes.

[@elvanightshade6661]

This is absolutely amazing. Thank you. I've identified as bisexual for many years but these past couple of days I've been going through a period of doubting myself and second guessing so much. I can't seem to help but count how many people I like of each gender as if I might actually get my licence revoked. This film speaks to me on so many levels, just to hear someone talk about being bisexual and being okay with that is just so helpful to me right now. Beautiful stuff.

[@notyouraveragething]

this made my little bi heart so happy. i wish something like this could’ve been around when i was a teenager, it really validates a lot of the feelings you have in the coming out process! loved it

[@DominoPivot]

Loved the idea of the serious reflection intertwined with the stand-up comedy. It helps swallow the sad stuff. It was entertaining and relatable. Also, yes, crushing on a couple is a big mood.

[@aubryellaotero1064]

Chris is such an incredible actor- he always amazes me

[@pluto1093]

Aubryella Otero agreed. What an amazing actor, deserves everything

[@greykendall1830]

Yasmine Grace ikr he should get hired for movies and stuff

[@thisismysea]

I love the short film where he gets lost in the woods with a group of vagabond kids. That one was surreal, fun, and moving. The range of what Chris is capable of when he's in scripted things is wonderful to watch.

[@xomki.wxixdo9576]

Sameeeee

[@schmoyoho]

person who's not white guy in 40s: *exists* white guy in 40s: STOP BEING POLITICAL amazing film! 10/10 A+ will watch again, after i sit here trying to remember who the 3rd Spider-Man 2 2 antagonist was

[@meniimya5148]

what?

[@Minoo98]

words cant describe how much i loved this- also i am living for the fact that the use of bi colours in the scenes also made sense with the atmosphere you wanted to capture

[@jxehaynes]

well that was the most quality i’ve seen all year, really quite touching and relatable. well done sammy 👏🏻

[@annerobin1]

as a closeted bi, this is really awesome. and as a wanna be film maker, this is really fucking awesome.

[@mialfreeman]

For real though, as someone who is definitely not straight, but confused as hell and in a situation that doesn't really let me explore what I like or how I am feeling, I can't articulate enough how genuinely impactful and so appreciative I am of this beautiful piece of art. Thank you to everyone who worked on this masterpiece. You have made at least one confused and anxious girl very happy!

[@hea9532]

Amazing, i love the very strong use of colour to show the pink and blue, very relatable for me, i need more time to gather my thoughts fully but you can bet ill watch the shit out of this a minimum of 10 times

[@crabstickz]

Who's watching this in lockdown?!! ...with nothing but a t-shirt on...

[@JM-fu6vy]

;))

[@sahanamotta]

popped up on my recommended a year later it’s still as amazing as ever hahahah

[@leeleaman8057]

Yes.

[@esa2419]

dang four months

[@Sentientmatter8]

I haven't got a T-shirt on.

[@dead_ones]

This short is extremely underrated. Really a touching short film, Sammy

[@rainingpandas5170]

"choosing between a relationship where even just holding hands is seen as a statement or you go with what's easier?" - this doesn't get talked about enough, amazing video x

[@finpin2622]

I saw the title and was like "is this gonna be about being bi?" And then saw the opening colors and was like "so this is definitely going to be about being bi"

[@Drewbydrew]

I laughed really hard at these jokes, and I really felt the gut punch with the serious parts. As a bisexual, it really does matter to see some more representation like this. I really enjoyed and appreciated this :)

[@amelialikesfrogs5778]

I genuinely had a similar thing with la la land when I first was figuring out the bi thing. Ryan gosling and Emma stone! Nice!

[@jessicaa.1894]

This is brilliant. I genuinely felt like I was in the audience. Chris you did a brilliant portrayal. Wow. Just amazing

[@Faffacake]

Absolute perfection! I loved the bit at the end about it helping someone somewhere. I can say it did help me at least, I now feel just a little bit more secure about my sexuality. Thank you x

[@punpkinpi2015]

I will never tire of Chris's amazing talent to act. He always opens up such different roles in beautiful manners. This is a wonderfully scripted, filmed, and produced piece. Y'all should be proud

[@stevenlomon]

In which Sammy Paul in a thoughtful, brilliant and funny way deals with his complex feelings towards -sexual identity- The Amazing Spider-Man 2

[@caseygecko]

that "sorry mate" at the end is so PERFECTLY TIMED holy sHit

[@Emily-rx2zt]

That was literally incredible, made me want to cry at least a million times in less than 10 minutes! I’m gay so I can’t truly understand what it’s like to be bi but that bit about it being a statement to just hold hands with someone really got me

[@beans6717]

Genuinely just fucking incredible. Rewatched it immediately and there are so many little things that jump out on a second view - as is the case with most of your work! Huge, huge congratulations to all involved xo

[@lhoravn2481]

struggling with being bi right now and this.. this really helps. thanks sammy

[@nicolleebba2990]

God this film really relates to me. The contrast between his jokes on stage and his deep conceptual talks backstage really resonated with me. Also it brought up things I thought about before but never brought up like the ratio thing and god I love this

[@whish67]

Genuinely think I had the same experience with SPECIFICALLY The Amazing Spiderman 2. Gwen and Peter were extra cute in that film.

[@gemah1870]

i feel like at this point i really understand your way of writing. there's something about it thats characteristically you and i think thats a really strong and engaging thing to have.

[@heyimmashark9030]

The amazing spider man 2 made me cry for 2 days straight. Those 2 days being Christmas Eve and Christmas. It wasn’t because of the movie, it’s actually because of a friend I had who passed recently, but as soon as I realized what triggered the tears, I thought of this sketch. Basically, great work because this is already a classic in my mind

[@alicejames8386]

in the dressing room, blue lighting, costume, mise etc means he ‘blends in’. AS SOON AS HE GETS ON STAGE, the pink colour POpS!! He’s not blending in, he’s choosing to make a stand!!!

[@Simplebadger27]

Be honest Sammy. You made this just for the bi and large joke didn’t you? 😂 excellent job

[@pinksuiteheart6974]

Ugh Sammy this is so good you're always killing it

[@alyssa4356]

ive always loved this, ive watched it multiple times since it was posted and recommended it to so many people. in 7th grade i knew i was bi and I identified as so for 7 years before recently coming out as a lesbian. this is the first time ive come back to this since then but it is still so completely comforting and incredible. sexuality is such a fluid and confusing thing to me, but I’m glad things like this exist!! love it, massive thanks to everyone involved in making it

[@charlenefornoles8289]

Chris Kendall legendary actor someone give him a series

[@iameveryoneelse3792]

the dressing room absolutely saturated in blue and the stage lighting being majority pink i adore it

[@verov8556]

Oh my gosh, it took me a minute but that title is actually legendary

[@tweetoc]

Ahh I'm bi and I loved this, it's very rare to see a positive representation of bisexuality, so this is brilliant! I love how the colour scheme of this shortfilm is pink-purple-blue, it's a really nice touch and very aesthetically pleasing

[@joerider2508]

As a Bi person myself this is a fantastic representation of what its like being Bi, You did a cracking job, well done!

[@Itmeabo]

THIS IS GONNA BE SO AMAZING IM SO EXCITED

[@Itmeabo]

I WAS RIGHT

[@Al-yz4nr]

This really hits home. Especially being trans and bi it's means I'll get looks no matter who I date simply by if I'm passing that day or not

[@Jonaspatzl]

Wow, the first time I watched this was when it came out and I enjoyed it. Just watched it again with some nice things happening in the meantime and this definitely hits differently now... Wonderfully done and quite relateable, thanks :)

[@LauWG]

Top acting, top writing I was afraid there was gonna be an awkward moment but there was none!

[@mdrnlevi]

Every time i watch this i still have a big smile on my face.

[@MitchelSimpson17]

Blue is associated with depth and stability. It symbolises trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, trust and heaven. Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. (yes i googled that) That dressing room is filled with blue, like blue everywhere, so when Felix is talking about being bisexual, and what is means to him, and talking about his stand-up, the blue really connotes this.

[@aady1209]

OMG THIS IS BRILLIANT! HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS!!!? CHRIS IS SOOO FUNNY!! and omg everything he says is such an accurate portrayal of bisexuality I have experienced all of this! 😭

[@finbarlyons4042]

This is the best thing that came out of the amazing spider man 2

[@whish67]

I related to this SO hard. Chris was incredible, and Sammy's writing was so honest and realistic.

[@AlycatIsAlive]

Honestly better than most comedy shows I've seen

[@gillshannon258]

As a fully licensed bi I have to say this is a really lovely film, proper heartfelt but still funny. Chris is perfect in this. Xxxx

[@lizarddd0__o]

this was absolutely amazing. chris is so talented and he literally gave me goosebumps.

[@jxmieleealexander]

This is single-handedly one of the best monologues I have ever seen performed. The brilliant writing combined with the fantastic acting of Chris made me smile for 9 minutes and 51 seconds. You deserve all the praise imaginable.

[@orsettomorbido]

The blue jacket and the pink light from the top. Niiiicely done!

[@claudiarosier8951]

The quota scene remained me a lot to that interview between Anna Paquin and Larry King, when he asked her "But you were bisexual?" Because she is now married with a man and her answer was something like: “I don't think it's a past tense thing, you still straight if you are with somebody” Nice short film btw!

[@timecrayon]

"Even in metropolitan elitist leftie bubble London, you know, I'm so conscious about like how people might react." This hit me. Although I'm not from London, this is so relatable. Thank you for making this!

[@anisjustyoutbe]

SAMMY NEVER DISAPPOINTS AND THATS THAT ON THAT

[@ruairim2283]

Clicked for Chris but stayed for the quality content. Very relatable content with good humour. I’ll definitely be back for more

[@nia.j.h]

thank you, Sammy and Chris, so much. I loved it.

[@lilyrose141]

love the way his blue suit turns purple with the pink light! 💙💜💗

[@eduardowolf8890]

6:50 "Turns out that being Bi just means getting rejected twice as much."

[@tunababy_]

every time i watch this i have something new to love about it. so good, as always, chris and sammy working together never disappoints.

[@isidoraavila791]

I've never related to anything more than this in my entire life.

[@nevewg3445]

wow. this was just so beautiful. The use of colour, the humour and overall message were completely amazing x amazing acting by Chris as always and fantastic writing

[@TheUtanstrumpor]

Been having a lot of thoughts about my bisexuality lately, since I got engaged to a man. Its like everyone just... assumes that I chose "straightness" now? As if all my previous relationships, and past and present feelings towards women are erased. This was extremely helpful and fun to watch, thanks for the laughs in an confusing time

[@mirroredhour]

God, this is actually delivering two things I've been thinking about and wanted: bi standup comedy and chris doing standup. I'm baffled that something delivered on both fronts. Not to mention it's great having more chris in general

[@williamlamassa173]

I am so happy that I gave this a shot, I had no idea what it would be about but it’s so amazingly done, the comedy is great and the lighting and camera angles are really cool

[@077di6]

Chris should do movies in low budget when he is the only one writing the script, where it's his real power

[@SpareMeTheRomance]

The lighting and colourscapes in this are absolutely fantastic

[@RainbowSprnklz]

Why are all the british youtubers i like making bi content when im trying to stay in the closet!

[@tealkerberus748]

RainbowSprnklz they're fighting to make a world in which you don't need to be closeted, babe. A world in which your right to exist as bi, or gay, or trans, or nb, is not up for debate, and even the fact that you *are* any of these things is no more noteworthy to others than if you're left-handed.

[@3vil0vesy0u]

I feel so seen!! And I feel like we don’t talk enough about how beautiful Ciaran’s colour grading is... like wow.

[@obsecuresearchquarter1988]

I knew Spider-Man was mentioned way too many times for Jack Howard to not be in the credits

[@honeycombc]

Woowwwww!! Oh my god that was incredible, as someone who isn’t straight. Being what I am does define me in some aspects. This tackles everything!! Brilliant work Sammy, great performance from Chris as well!!

[@faIIenm00n]

Someone give Chris an Oscar. He's such an amazing person, an incredible actor and he deserves all the love in the world.

[@joeqvn]

aka, him being a bi disaster for 9 minutes and 51 seconds

[@SamgirlSpeaks]

I went into watching this short not thinking it would affect me as poignantly as it did, holy shit. It's not just the fantastic use of colour schemes, camera angles, how naturally Chris blends in with the setting; the mood juxtaposition between the stand up comedy and earnest address to the audience is so compelling you can't look away. The bi-jokes hit just as smartly as the off-stage disclosures. This short is skillfully written and incredibly well executed, you guys should definitely be pleased with it!
