December 18, 2016
This was Dylan's second time performing stand-up.

[@garrettjohnsen]

Based off the comment section, I have learned that people think comedians do brand new material for each show... Oh boy.

[@nonamejohnson6065]

Garrett Johnsen because a lot of people only watches big comedians like Kevin heart and them and they always have new stuff because there so popular

[@kuivia]

FINADOX it's hilarious that you think big comedians have new stuff all the time lmfao

[@shawnfurl2444]

Same guy, different video, EXACT same material.

[@user-vv5ju3fj1p]

Yeah but this is pretty identical to the last one I watched

[@MichealZaWozski]

Love how more relaxed he got in doing the routine in few months.... Hope he's got lots more material in future

[@spiderpool034]

Holy crap he does look like Tom Holland

[@lobitome]

His timing was better in the first video. He is rushing in this one. But he is still very good.

The voice crack joke got me 😂😂

[@user-vv5ju3fj1p]

Starburst so well improvised. So smooth it’s almost like he was prepared for it

[@AlmightyEmoji]

I stg people dont understand STAND UP COMEDY IS WRITTEN AND PERFORMED IN FRONT OF MULTIPLE CROWDS. someone just recorded the same act and posted it multiple times. Would you say this to a singer? "Oh Beyonce gets on my nerves she did the EXACT SAME SONGS from the radio AND her concerts.." its a performance people

[@wittyblonde6728]

Almighty Emoji Yes thank you! Someone gets it...

[@LuisSilva-tk9nc]

Different shirt and there's no problem with him using same material

[@K.I.N.G19]

Does it really matter? I could spend 2 mins on YT and find 10+ of the same stand ups by the exact same comedians.

[@jasonterry7051]

Hahaha “damn. Drake sang these songs at his last concert. Way to recycle material drake!” But yeah good point. People don’t realize that ALL comics do this.

[@Lysdexichack]

Every respectable singer writes new songs before each concert

[@HotelBedSheets]

2:48 😂 was so perfect haha "alright back into the bit."

[@horationelson1840]

It’d be funny if he slipped and accidentally said Tim instead of Barry.

[@michellep6417]

After watching his first video, I was expecting something like: “You know what grinds my gears Ti- I mean, Barry?”

[@piss8835]

*WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN AT KYLE?!*

*DIORAMAS DON'T MAKE THEMSELVES*

When people think standup is like a freestyle smh 🤣

Starburst When People Dont Realize That Some Freestyles Are Pre Written And Rapped To The Beat...🤦‍♂️

[@user-vv5ju3fj1p]

NotReflzx That makes more sense I always thought those guys were geniuses for being able to put a whole bop together of the top of their head. Now I feel stupid..

[@davisdavis468]

I mean of course stand up is modified to fit the crowd but yeah comedians collect jokes for their sets that they tell at multiple locations

[@jwrestlin]

its pre written but when it says improv its actually freestyle right?

[@daman7387]

Sometimes it is

[@SKITTLEZ971]

"You know what grinds my gears Berry?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@jacobdarity8484]

How do you even misspell Barry 😂, might be kinda sped over here

[@LeilaniPop]

his reaction when he won is precious

Take a shot everytime he drinks some water

[@krazygirl594]

I want more I love this kid

[@bd5454]

you know what *grinds* *my* *gears*

[@Ahiatua]

Glad to see he's getting more comfortable in front of people. If he can come up with new material, which i'm sure he can, he's going to be Comedy Gold.

[@thepixelated_emeraldyt4699]

Great job Dylan, I think this was more funny than last time.

[@tiacrossey9981]

the "you know what grinds my gears" gets the biggest laugh in both

[@dianailarraza5956]

Me counting how many times he takes a sip of water 😂😂😂

[@tonyjohnsen3160]

The "you know what grinds my gear" part is gold haha

[@lettuce5952]

Is his drinking part of the routine too lol

[@largeappendage1581]

no hes just nervous

[@piss8835]

People who go up in front of crouds just to talk, their mouth gets really dryy cuz they're all nervous n stuff

[@kayleyhenninger2488]

I’ve seen that it’s a thing many stand ups (primary younger ones) use to look at their set and refresh on jokes. That’s why you don’t see older and more experienced comedians take as many drinks during their sets :)

[@Xenonnofficial]

Yes it is

[@TommyFilth1]

If not, it will be eventually. I can totally see him working it into his persona.

[@laniejean6618]

When PCA makes you think of Pacific Coast Academy

[@saltybabegaming2682]

[@immylyons]

This was actually amazing he did such a good job! He really deserved the win!

[@trinitylivingston1286]

Yep, especially at such a young age.

[@kwxxli]

He did good, but he rushed this one alittle to fast

[@ogkev1549]

I was thinking the same

[@sergioflores477]

A lot of very professional comedians do the same act. Kevin Hart, Bo Burnham, Chris Tucker, and even Andy Kauffman, and etc etc

[@ThankYouPain09]

Sergio Flores the lady who does the nail salon joke still uses that one

[@juliarowe3980]

He's cuuuuuuuuuuuute

[@grace-su4px]

[@amideadyet268]

I was gonna say. I'm sure this dude isn't going to have any trouble picking up chicks. I'm the same age as this kid and I can definitely relate to everything he says.

[@freestyleskyline]

You are AWESOME MR ROCHE

[@Emily-kr8nx]

He has a lot of potential + his jokes are super funny but he kinda ran on + rushed into it he needs to work on his timing too but he's pretty good

[@serenaisanoob9062]

im late but like when the crowd laughs theres really no stopping them so you sorta just have to get your jokes in when they're laughing or they would sit there laughing while watching him drink water..i'm aware of this because my friend does stand up comedy and he talks about this situation 24/7 saying how he doesnt like saying the jokes while they're laughing but its annoying how hes just sitting there watching them crack up for 5 minutes..the only way to get your joke in is to constantly say them no matter if the timing is rushed or not lol no hate

[@BiRmOoN]

I wanna give him an honest review. Good stuff: Your jokes are awesome and you got the crowd's attention. Stuff to improve: Your comedic timing sometimes gets off, we see you're nervous because you switch hands with the mic and move too much, your impressions aren't really believable and you need to work on your crowd control. Like in the joke about the priests, I think you should've let them laugh for a bit and then say the punch with "I'm kidding!". I hope to see a perfect routine from you because I see that you can give one. Good luck man.

[@jettn7656]

I wanna give your review an honest review. I'm all for constructive criticism but you sound super pretentious. But I can see you writing a perfect review in the future, or doing stand-up comedy because you seem to know how.

He got much more comfortable with his on stage presence and his timing! Great job I hope you keep this up you’ve got great talent!!

[@ImJustSayin2014]

“He did the same routine“ is the most idiotic complaint I could fathom. Literally every comedian repeats portions of their routine, if not the entire routine, when touring. Do you think they just get up there and start going off the fly? It’s literally a rehearsed performance. Do you complain when Ariana Grande sings “the same songs” at each of her concerts?

[@itsMrNoble]

I complain when Arianna Grande sings at all.

[@pluradox]

[@judethree4405]

If this dude is legitimately, authentically him (and partly even if not), he is a hit as far as I’m concerned. He is one in 10,000. You can’t find a kid who is as openly acute, (and the best word I thought of earlier, was “legit”), and even for grown ass adults (I’m 40), He is both real and refreshing and funny. He will be a killer if he excels yet further, and I have frequented the comedy store in HWood (even heckled by Dave Chappell 2 times) ((damn straight imma name drop )) (((and have a parenthesis within a parenthesis within a parenthesis, and note that spell check didn’t correct the word “imma” just a second ago, what times we be living in))). Damn, in another life with more time and no kids, I would have loved to be a comic, as this little homey inspires me.
