Brandon Vestal | Positively Pessimistic (Full Comedy Special)

Brandon Vestal’s latest offering of standup genius, captured in the fall of 2022, at Stir Crazy in Phoenix, Positively Pessimistic, showcases the Oklahoma-born/LA-based comic at his positively sardonic, sarcastic, acerbic best. Brandon has appeared on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” and was a recurring comedian on FOX’s Laughs, Man Up Stand Up, and Comedy Time TV. He can also be heard on XM/ Sirius’s “Blue Collar” and “Raw Dog” channels as well as “The Bob & Tom Show”. Brandon Vestal’s low key, deeply personal and honest style has made a definite must-see.

That dude in the audience got his money's worth 😂

[@noidbusta1]

i mean,the guy is funny, but the audience guy is a plant or way too drunk

[@papasazombie5971]

He's one hell of an annoying plant then makes the show less funny.

[@zombierobotsheep]

I'm pretty sure he was on Ecstacy.

[@13Ghosty13]

Oddly, I know exactly who are referring to!

[@dynasty1910]

He's not a plant. Rather, he is just one of those over exuberant idiots that knowingly laugh too loud to draw attention to themself and spoil it for the rest of the audience. He wants to stand out like a sore thumb

[@wherestheexit5046]

The person cackling in the back 😅 ❤

[@TheDailyMrRuiz]

Shoutouts to the spotlight guy keeping his mid torso well lit.

[@rthomp03]

I'm getting Nate Bargatze vibes, which is certainly intended as a compliment. The type of comedian that doesn't need to tell crazy stories because they can make even the most mundane story hilarious with impeccable delivery. That's an underrated skill in the comedy world.

[@andreklugel6846]

I thought the same thing, lol.

[@jenniferberry2228]

Love Nate! Agreed!

[@joshrowe8720]

😊

[@joshrowe8720]

[@joshrowe8720]

😊😊

[@josievaccaro]

The guy cracking himself up is out of this World 😂

[@daviddenwalt7109]

Sound like there's a hyena in the crowd!

[@savage22bolt32]

And the laughing is contagious!

[@sharonc1858]

I'm finding him kind of annoying. It's like, ok it's funny but man, not that funny. I wonder what he took before the show.

[@echognomecal6742]

WISHING he was out of this world. Happy somewhere else until he gets control over himself. Ofc, if he's incapable, he gets a pass. We all have strengths & weaknesses. Sometimes our weaknesses prevent us from doing what we want. Sometimes that's bc we're considerate adults who don't put our wants ahead of others'. For instance, I only sing & dance at Home. Bc it would be irresponsible for me to do otherwise. Miraculously, I survive.

[@charlesshepherd2004]

Low evergy and a chill pace. My new favorite comedian.

[@creativity4hire]

I came here after watching his DryBar special 1-2 years ago and have been waiting to see him again. Brandon man I love your style. God bless you man.

[@badger297]

The Laughlin, Nevada bit was amazing 😂

[@brendenmackay8861]

I’m in!!!! I’ll watch anything this dude puts out now. Fuggin hilarious 🤣

[@LROTV]

Have you seen his previous stand up about Republicans? Hilarious. He had me at that one. Top 10 favorite comedians now.

[@ThndrThz77]

I stumbled on this dude today..... OMG I'm dying😅.

[@DoWhatNowQuestionmark]

One of the best comedians I’ve seen in YEARS 😂

[@lawofassumptiongoddess]

Give this man a netflix special!

[@capitalgoldgoblin6474]

One guy REALLY loved your show bro damn. Great to have a laugher like that in the audience

[@gamlerik1]

[@fosterfurbabies]

I’ve seen him on DryBar comedy (KZbin)

[@pbc76]

Laughing out loud. I loved this special.

[@johndoskocil]

Genuinely Funny! 🎉😂

[@DJMCtag]

My man is killing it, great show

[@DataJuggler]

I haven't done an open mic night since I lost my teeth 15 years ago, but I would do it again if I could afford to pay the one's laughter that outlaughs everyone else.

[@sarahkanieski8293]

It's hard not to laugh when you hear that guy laughing in the background. He was just dying!

[@DeemMalicious]

Oh this is just absolutely fantastic!! This dude just gained a fan. Thanks for the upload. Hilarious stuff 😂

[@shaneross7428]

I love this guy's humor!!

[@harmony331000]

[@michellesouthards6821]

Hilarious!! My stomach hurts from laughing so hard 😂 Such great timing.

[@LoftLorian]

Were you the guy in the audience?

[@kennethcisneros8089]

😂😂😂omg I just hopped on as a new fan, damn the person with the awesome laugh in the audience just made the experience even better I almost laughed harder when the audience member laughed than when I heard a joke that's how u know the comedian has true talent

[@truseeker1]

This guy is fire 🔥 ❤😂

[@kennethcisneros8089]

The guy laughing should have his own youtube channel reaction videos of him just laughing at funny shit❤

[@NekwaWatch]

Funny as hell

[@narfoxone9er971]

[@badger297]

Nate bargetze mixed with a Lil mitch hedburg, with his own Lil thing mixed in. I like this guy

[@Commex17]

Omfg I need Halls with honey for my throat 🤣🤣🤣 I keep snorting and yelling here laughing at this guy🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesstortz936]

One of the most well-crafted specials I've'r seen. Adding to my Comedy Playlist!!

[@dixieboy5689]

Hes a genius. Solid all the way. Good laughs. I love Laughlin too!! I want to get back. But, I'll stay out of jail this time.

[@tonyatucker7522]

It was the crazy laugher for me 😂

[@fitrn1471]

Way underrated. He's awesome ❤

[@jasonlittlefield1285]

Loved the show! Great jokes man! I thought I was tired of -rona material but yours was very well done.

[@brianbechtel3]

If I was a comedian I would hire that guy in the audience to come to all of my shows and just laugh...😂🤣😂

[@theresaholloway8924]

😂 soo funny “I’m not doing that again” lol

[@jameschatterton3541]

I love this guy's comedy

[@natecraiglive]

Awesome work my man💥

[@russellbenson7055]

This guy’s delivery is impeccable…

[@TheMostHumbleShow]

❤

[@simoncvijanovic1847]

It's not his delivery, it's his DiGiorno!

[@dorisfaust8965]

Great stuff, but audience member w crazy loud laugh killed it for me.

[@anic5805]

Right? That person's funny bone was always just on the edge waiting to lose it😂

[@sloanmagnum5009]

This dude is hilarious 😅😅😅

[@TGun7]

Outstanding!

[@globetrekker86]

The guy with the infectious laugh sounds exactly like Rich Evans from Red Letter Media

[@SeerWS]

Love this guy 😂

[@isaacmarsh2747]

One man and one woman laughed harder at this than everybody else combined i swear to god

[@joshnelsoncomedy]

He’s hilarious

[@cmath3541]

This was great

[@genisys0069]

Thanks for the show Brandon. Enjoyed every minute of it.

[@NickDeShane]

I clean for a living and I can't tell you how true that urinal thing is. Every man pees like he thinks he has a 3ft long manhood.

[@fathertimegaming17]

Honky joke is perfect. No Fat.

[@justinhonse]

PHENOMENAL!

[@theshreves900]

Love this guy

[@brucekent3131]

I can't wait to see this shit! ❤

[@suzyanderson7395]

I thought it was hilarious. I literally cried. If anything is true about the efficacy of a laugh track, thae audience member that everyone is commenting on should be paid to attend stand ups! But I seriously think this guy nailed a few key jokes regarding the past few years, and life in the US...I thank him for the laughs ❤ it was priceless

[@redboone1509]

That guy laughing in the audience reminds me of the "seagull in the theater" Family Guy skit

[@quinn3190]

wait...this many Walgreens and CVSs aren't normal? not something I ever thought about before lol

[@NE0Nwhip]

I'm glad he's privy to the goings on.

[@CultureOfPowerEnt]

I like the comedy and the irony of the wrongness on the DJ topic LMAO

[@ShelaeJ]

😏Sir, ur voice and delivery r soothing all at the same time

[@morph-ONE]

Hey it’s ok man comedy is hard! You’ll get them next time

[@dixieboy5689]

>>>>>. SLEEVES.

[@AndrewJaws]

That one laugh is a crime

[@mollycorkle6628]

I love this guy! So glad 800 pound gorilla is killing it. They have been showing some of my favorite underrated comics lately. Nowadays I see. 800, I click. They are picking the best of the best out there. Cheers

[@erranandrews63]

In Bakersfield CA they told us that we had to put our masks back on on Saturday at 12:30ish. Literally they said that in the news and radio.

[@lunarjedi7788]

That laugh is something.

[@meganconnell-cox6425]

i love that he is still performing. HE NEEDS TO COME TO THE FUNNY BONE IN COLUMBUS, OH....

[@chrisgriffin4012]

Love this guy's timing

[@daleevans3250]

I thank you for a great set, I enjoyed every minute of it.

[@EdieBabeMonster]

Hilarious!!!!!🧡🤎❤️🖤💜💚💙🩷🩵🩶

[@IndigoHazelnut]

The hilarious thing is.. Bang in the middle of his sketch about pain.. An ad popped up about some pain relieving gizmos 😂

[@aliengranpa]

His take on Bitcoin is very accurate and would make a great movie!

[@alexgonzales3051]

Yo this guy's first stand up is top tier hope this one is the same ..

[@jenniferluiz3636]

[@ericu1196]

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Great material, exquisite delivery!

[@sandyhagloch8766]

😂😂Ask Brandon Rainwater how he got his neighbors to invite him over 😂😂

[@frankb389]

3:17 I actually did that once. I had to go so bad that when I finaly Hit the mens room I was like ahhhhh... and then notice people looking at Me

[@robins.9700]

"Fire is not a season. It doesn't go winter, spring, summer, fall, FIRE!" I have lived in CA most of my life. He right tho 😂😂😂

[@Airick9073]

Most excellent!

[@PotooBurd]

Solid gold comedy! 😂🏅👍 Rooting for your success!

[@OrdinarilyBob]

Funny stuff.

[@sweetbread9008]

4:00 I noticed urine at the urinals too. Always wondered if I was adding to the mess and started paying some attention. I use Porta Jon’s on job sites often. When I first seen the puddles I thought there must be a little guy on the site. One morning I found the Porta Jon clean, empty and dry. I instantly thought of the puddle and examined my own habits to make sure I’m leaving a clean station. When I was urinating I could see there wasn’t any pee on the floor, or my boots. It’s when I went to shake it clean the droplets appeared on the floor. Then I took note of where I was holding myself while I shook it and it became obvious what was happening. If you hold a water hose six inches from the end it has more flop. If you hold the hose at the end you’ll have more control. I find it funny for some reason. Maybe I’m weird. In my defense tho. There is a comedian joking about it.

[@toughenupfluffy7294]

I once tried to climb Vestal Peak in Colorado, but it turned out to be West Trinity, which is not the same thing at all.

[@gs3173]

Exceptional

[@terryf5131]

I think there's a laughing crow in the audience....too funny.😄

[@marquisgt]

That just about ruined it for me...

[@jansteen3100]

This shit for brains in crowd is killing me

[@dvsdubdub]

You are so funny! Hope to see more of you!

[@car0lineadams108]

All humans have the red blood of life like cows sheep chicken goats. Respect.❤ We are all going to die some day. With respect brothers and sisters ❣️

[@nilles3000]

the dying itself is mostly matter of minutes with release of dmt serotonine and adrenaline the pre-dying yeh can take ages or be misread but mostly ten minutes tops

[@circusOFprecision]

low key best punch line “200 thousand COVID deaths at 30k feet”, went over the crowd’s head

[@JacyndaMinor]

That font in the opening matches the sign above his head- whoever did that, I see you.

[@shanecarlson9076]

Got Harry Henderson in the crowd tonight

[@ResortDog]

Dont. stop, dont stop The Europeans have really been making headway with the Red Rover teams.

[@jamesstortz936]

[@Chuck_Blaze]

[@rulowth4815]

[@andreklugel6846]
