“I don’t think anyone is religious. I think everyone just made up a version of their God that is cool with the kind of person they want to be?” This guy is a genius.

[@nathanhawee5373]

Isn't that a contradiction

[@derrickkirkman595]

Did God(s) make Men, or did Men make God(s)? It's an existential question.. not a contradiction. People follow religion, yet in their own hearts and minds, they hope that their God, Understands Them and Loves Them. Though the Bible Tells us to be the other way around, it's Still elemental in the 'Foundation' Of Hoping and Wanting.

To be this brave is rare, and appreciated! We need MUCH more of this kind of comedian. I look forward to seeing this guy sharpen his skills even more.

You would like Sammy Obeid. He's great too.

Ck out Sammy Obeid. He's great too.

[@twocents3050]

To be clear! He has a tact many who have been turned away lacked. He's actually aware. You hear those pieces of real, and tell he's genuine, and through that his jokes do not evoke a negative aure.

The question is how many children parent did Jeff Bezos keep economically unstable to get this ukulele to me within 24 hours?

[@YNGKING01]

That set was actually very intellectual. There were so many points that caught me by surprise and really made me think. Especially during the set up for the last joke lol

[@Rabbit-k8q]

[@toocoolotool218]

I love how well crafted his set is. He said “is that too much for only knowing me for 4 minutes”. And I checked the time stamp. Sure enough. 4 minutes in.

[@wadball]

Absolutely my favorite set of all time by any comedian-- RIGHT on the pulse of being a conscientious young person in society today! It's healing to be able to laugh at how fucked everything is right now. Very well done

[@sunnymuffinsmuffysunnins4744]

Your feelings are valid, and I understand that sentiment. Howevern, what you mean is how fucked everything LOOKS and is perceived. It's only a matter of perspective, and probably a very American/Western-centric one. Have a look at history and see what human history was like... Up until 100 years ago you weren't even sure to survive a winter.

[@trash-lol]

[@fh9061]

Why is that so accurate

[@Goldenskies__]

Nah He doesn't. And He doesn't have to look like him. He's a very handsome Lebanese man. I wish my ancestors had more children with the Phoenicians, cause those genes are absolutely stunning. Everything about him is beautiful, those eyes are as blue as the Mediterranean sea. I think I have a crush on him tbh.

[@blasegg2396]

Those Greta jokes got me

[@harmo2502]

Great set thank you! The religious bit around the mushroom joke was great. Shrooms gave me a similar experience 😂

[@humanpersonne]

I didn't expect this from a stand up set, but the last bit actually made me feel grounded and hopeful, something that i hadn't felt in a very long while. Thank you.❤

[@anthonynunez9383]

This is perfect comedy right here … makes you think about current events and society while making you laugh… guys like this are super important

At this very moment, my ribs are cramping from laughter. It takes a lot to get me to laugh this hard. This might be the greatest comedy set I've heard in a very long time. Emil, you are incredible.
