David Drake - Oh No! Full Special

Recorded 10.20.21 at the Gutter in Greenpoint. Written and performed by David Drake. Directed by Erik Scott.
Self-produced so you can watch for free. If you feel like Venmo-ing me $1, I'll put it toward the next project, my handle on that is: @thedaviddrake

[@FlaccidFella]

The fact that this is a year old with only 180k views is insulting. I watch a lot of stand up and I have to say this was one of the best sets I've heard in a long time

[@daviddrakecomedy]

Hey thank you so much 🙏🏻!

[@bmc1717]

This watch looks like your friends watch… what’s funny about that it …sounds just like everything else nobody does anything to stand out any more!… It’s 2 second laugh comedy no good busting laughter…. At least have two jokes that make someone feel like they want to catch their breath from laughing… again two seconds of laughter jokes start to finish!

[@johnkovich8874]

Listen to his "That's it!" special. It is great too.

[@DREAMP4RK3R]

bro really made a special while Darrin was plowing the Tank. Legend. Man was destined to be a comedian.

Hey man. I watch comedy specials to fall asleep at night and woke up to your comedy special playing due to auto play. I gotta say you're a great comedian. Keep going. You have a bright future.

Thanks all for making me feel less weird!! I’m assuming it’s getting tougher by the week to find good comedy that isn’t repeats. Lemon jello about 20 times

Another sleep-to-stand-up fan here. I've run out so many apps. I'm always glad to find a new full set.

[@dylanmaxey2531]

David Drake is great, his stories, jokes, and timing are better then most I've seen online and definitely one of the best of the new generation of stand ups.. This man deserves to make it big.

[@daviddrakecomedy]

Hey thanks so much 🙌🏻

[@willcifur]

Damn .. turning pain into gold my friend. You’ve given the rest of us men that were forbidden to mount our own tv’s strength. In fact I’m going to parental lock Lifetime and E! in your honor ! 👏 brilliant stuff

I’ve been watching a ton of comedy on KZbin lately, and this is the first in a long while that actually made me laugh out loud. 👍🏻

[@daviddrakecomedy]

Hey thanks I appreciate it!

[@valentinmaris2245]

I enjoyed this special more than I've enjoyed the last 10 or 15 comedy specials I've seen. I don't understand why this isn't much more popular. As a comedy fan, this is a real gem.

[@jonathanolson2488]

He’s been one of my favorite for a few years. I don’t get how he isn’t huge. But it’s fun, cause I quote him all the time and everyone thinks I’m killing it.

The struggle I went through to not laugh at 2:15 in the morning, in order to not wake up anyone in the house. Silent laughing can be extremely painful.

[@daviddrakecomedy]

Appreciate your struggle 🙏🏻

Dude, you need to get a good agent. You're a hidden treasure

[@jesusantispray]

Third absolutely killer special I've watched from this guy and its easily the best and most unique perspective I've come across in a while. All i do lately is watch comedy specials and this guy has it man. Just need that algorithm love so I'm wishing you all the best man.

[@daviddrakecomedy]

Algorithm!!!!!!! Thanks man✌🏻

[@JarretLaMark]

I've been coming back to this special for like a month now. The first time I watched it I thought I was supper funny, a little roughcut, but now a month later and at least 3 or 4 rewatches, the writing, as a complete set, is excellent with great comedic symmetry. So many funny situations in this set. The bit about getting old, and his grandmother saying to him: "Oh... Dave... you are so handsome, you're like a regular Jameson Hobart". Properly hilarious, as was the other 95% of this set. I hope someone high-up at Comedy Central or Netflix takes a hard look at this guy ad things take off for him, because he's hilarious, not forced, and tells funny-ass stories and scenarios. I would guess that David Drake is just naturally hilarious, in simple, day to day life. A natural comedian who also has the comedic creative writing skills that could take him far. I hope it happens for him. Then again, It only took me 4-5 weeks (and 3 full views) before I realized what a comedic gem this set is, in my opinion anyway, whatever that's worth.

[@daviddrakecomedy]

Appreciate it thanks so much man!

[@manuelgonzalez5362]

Never heard of you before I watched your special. This is outstanding.

The best kind of an unexpected set, veering into the lava, the mystery of humor that you can't and shouldn't try to explain, but just thank God that we humans have been graced with this gift that makes life a little more bearable. You were fearless, David Drake, a channel from the Source. I found myself grimacing and laughing at the same time. Spooked and awed and grossed out.

[@treyhudson73]

That's why I believe comedy can truly save us all.

[@BoogieBoogsForever]

You're right. We live in these societies in which the priority is the enrichment of the rich people and companies. We are the apex predator, conquerors of the plains, mountains, oceans - but we work forever to make other people rich. While we have enough food and clothing and ingenuity so that we could all be comfortable and have enough and even abundance.

[@enormouslittlethings6893]

This is my third time coming back to this video. Never stops being funny. ❤️

[@daviddrakecomedy]

Appreciate you 🙏🏻

[@JCSAXON]

This is quite the achievement; excellent rhythm, transition and even atmosphere. I consume more standup than I’m willing to admit to anyone and this is a real gem. I appreciate that you didn’t bore me to death with politics and excessive dick jokes. You feeling old at your age could have bored me to death but you steered that crazy train in a way that made me believe you actually had/are in an actual midlife crisis. Give this snowball a good push down the mountain and destroy a city. Cheers

[@mattfrost918]

I also consume more standup than I'm willing to admit... (even thought I just admitted it) and I definitely agree that this is a real gem. I'm looking forward to playing it for my friends and family that love standup. The funniest specials I have watched in the last couple years were "Sorry" and "Live in Austin," and this was definitely up there around that level, in my opinion. Funny, funny shit.

[@treyhudson73]

Ditto to these!

[@JCSAXON]

@@mattfrost918 Yeah, the easy pace especially got me onboard. With humor/entertainment I really don’t care if a tale is stretched out, half-true or not. I just long for potentially relatable, situational jesting and seasoned storytelling . Some will simply never possess the charisma to enchant and they can all fuck off and do something else more properly suited to their stale cardboard “personalities”. I dodge bad standup like angel dusters and orange parking cones. I still wanna run them over though

[@mgoldfish2026]

I love you (us) comedy nerds c; This is a gem!

[@tiffanyblack8755]

[@lifewithbunty]

He killed it. He picked up the glasses post show He made the show. I don't know why the algorithm showed me the video. But i watched the whole thing. I hope you make more specials. You just book the shows. And you got the raw talent to write another special after another

[@daviddrakecomedy]

Hey thank you 🙏🏻!

[@FreeGaza.Laurie]

Here too. The algorithm showed me David’s special. I watched a bit last night and it’s already on a playlist for laughter in hard moments. I agree with you. I’m in 🇨🇦 I’d love to see more of him.

[@FreeGaza.Laurie]

@@daviddrakecomedy it’s true David! 😊👊🇨🇦

[@jenniferspence7092]

​​@@FreeGaza.Laurie same here! It just magically showed up. And within a few minutes I made darn sure to save it on a playlist of my favorite comedy specials so I can go back and watch it again when needed. I've had a few too many incidents where something happens halfway through watching something that I'm really enjoying and I haven't made note of the name and all of a sudden it's gone. So if I can tell right away that it's something great first I take a screenshot and get the name in the screenshot and then I save it on my favorites list. Just never know when the stuff you save actually gets saved so I have to double save with that screenshot man lol. I'm tech challenged so even the simplest things I can mess up for real.

[@FreeGaza.Laurie]

You are very funny and talented David! Thanks for this amazing show. I will share, I don’t know why you aren’t more known. Btw, you guys are essentials. Laughter is essential to live in this world in 2022. 👊🇨🇦 with love. My best to you and yours!
