Eric Rushton | Not That Deep (Full Comedy Special)

This is my first ever comedy special. It was made by a bunch of my friends and filmed at my favourite comedy club, The GLEE in Birmingham. It was directed, edited and worked on tirelessly by my close(st?) friend Arnold T. Rice who's been there since early. Honestly for his sake, give it a watch please and send it to key kingpins and queenpins of showbusiness.
Also a special thanks to Tal Davies who I forgot to add cos I’m dumb but she has been my rock and is a great comic that you should check out.
This is one of the most FREE specials out there, but it cost bare money to make so if you would be kind enough to donate then that would mean the world. You can do so here: ko-fi.com/eric...
If you can't then I totally get that but I was just wondering if you could find the kindness in your heart to share it on social media instead?

You can also follow me on social media for videos that are often 1/60th of the length of this special.

Now this is a proper mental club gig. First time I’ve ever felt like I was at a comedy club whilst in my own home. Superb.

[@patricknicholls2395]

Genuinely one of my favourite specials I've seen in years. Absolutely killing it, mate!

[@FrederickJDavies]

"Can I get a refund" oh my god!! Ridiculous!! It's like a trauma dream 😂😂😂

[@johnycash5954]

Dude I’ve just discovered your infectious comedy and wanted to say thanks for the belly laughs.

[@iamtigerjames9978]

You smashed it mate, and you handled kicking out your brother very well given the circumstances. May the algorithms be ever in your favour

[@Farrovia]

Original, creative, brilliant - Eric's a unique comedian with his own place in the world. Love it!

[@LardBaron1]

Oh Wow. What a gig. That was not normal. loved it

[@1kirkallen]

Honestly fantastic work, so honest and clear, when you asked fir the cheer. That was class, real connection with an audience.

[@DunlavyVolleyball]

Well played. I appreciate how you handled the absurdities. Good job grinding it out 👍 I respect that you were willing and actually intended for the show to take a new direction when you asked if there was a therapist in the room and if she was comfortable enough to come up on stage. Would’ve been cool if she had. That dynamic-shift would’ve been interesting. I enjoyed your material; I look forward to seeing you perform it in the rhythm you intended it to be in.

[@evesimpson1206]

Now this really made me laugh, brilliant special! Pools are deep and people are shallow 👏🏼

[@stevelivingstone4616]

I cannot believe your brother! That was hilarious! 😂

[@04aardvark]

Probably the best new comedian I've seen for a long time. Eric has a big future in stand up.

[@EricRushton96]

Thank you! X

[@TheFunContinues]

Best comedy special I've watched all year!

[@EricRushton96]

Hmmmm

[@rogerosullivan9881]

The one we've all been waiting for🎉

[@Billysdfhjd]

Can't wait for this to drop

Exciting x

[@danjonescomedy]

Absolutely loved this

[@chelseabirkby]

I absolutely love this show. You're so original!

[@EricRushton96]

Thank you! You too! X

[@susanvenice]

I always play stand up to fall asleep to. When I woke up to replay what I'd slept thru, it was so good, it made me stay awake to see what I'd missed. Great set, way to engage and carry on! Cheers from Florida

[@EricRushton96]

Thank you! X

[@robrutledge2933]

Thoroughly enjoyed this special. You would almost think that his brother was a plant. I can't imagine the stress of having such a heckler(s) In such a critical juncture of ones comedy career. But he absolutely smashed it. If anything the interruptions almost feed into his style of almost nihilistic comedy. Cracking watch

[@EricRushton96]

Thanks Rob! X

[@joshsimpson5694]

So funny! The brother bits stepped that special up a level. Loved it!

[@JakeHelliwell-h6q]

Loved it! You're a trooper Eric!

[@stevelivingstone4616]

Trauma dream might be a good name for a show.

[@tomfrench7146]

Finally got round to watching the rest of this after enjoying the first 5/10 mins. Fantastic special 👏

[@jakem8387]

Great stuff Eric!

[@JAMESOSBORN-u9q]

So,good,to see that show. Many comedians talk about their dysfunctional family but you show yours off in the front row.

[@rutter89]

Very clever. Very thoughtful. Very funny. Thank you, Eric. I'd like to think your Mum is familiar with the phrase "if at first you don't succeed, try and try again"

[@zeeboowahmoo]

This is amazing stuff, really good!

[@Mattypvisuals]

Been waiting too long for this! Handled it amazingly considering the circumstance’s. The Ruston firm will return.

[@BoDiddlee]

The 2 dads in heaven being progressive 😂 deserved so much more 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.

[@harveyhawkinscomedy]

I know people will focus on the brother stuff but just a brilliant hour. Well done mate, proud of you 👊

[@Byteronin]

Surprisingly intellectual and hilarious 👏

[@michaelr3871]

This is brilliant stuff!

[@jasonwilson7674]

I'm only here because I seen Eric warm up the crowd for Clinton baptiste at the Birmingham Town Hall on Friday, he was brilliant, really funny, right up my street😂, Baptiste was good also 😂

[@andrewdempsey4559]

I feel the need to comment on this because it’s great. I broke my duck on KZbin comments recently when David Cross interviewed Bob Odenkirk, so this is my 2nd ever comment. But it’s not about me - I first came across this kid (patronising twat bag that I am) when he was about 11 years old and he was a funny c*** then. I think it’s clear the man has become one of the best we’ve got. He’s one of the greats, it’s obvious. One of the smoothness, most naturally gifted funnymen out there.

[@EricRushton96]

Thanks so much mate! Means a lot! X

[@rayjones8485]

Mate , you are hilarious. 😂

[@danstevens802]

Really great stuff!

[@flinty8121]

[@judechurcher1428]

Sounds harsh, but Eric’s trauma dream is my pleasure 😂 (think that sounds weirder than I intended)

So good!

Brilliant

[@RichardWakefield]

Sod Santa and presents and mince pies - this 1hr gig clip has made my Xmas! Infact it’s made my hole weak! Truly funny, brilliant stories. Good luck with your bro over Xmas!

[@WilliamBrown-tj1pn]

Thanks Matthew Crosby for the recommendation! Tough to get through that first 10mins (so can’t imagine how bad it must’ve been for him!) but definitely worth it ❤

[@EricRushton96]

Thanks mate! Very kind of Matthew to recommend as well! X

[@WilliamBrown-tj1pn]

⁠@@EricRushton96 in case you weren’t aware, he gave it/you a glowing review on the podcast of his radio x show

[@EricRushton96]

@@WilliamBrown-tj1pn yes someone else sent it to me! Very lovely of him! X

[@burtcomedian]

Fantastic hour, love your stuff

[@EricRushton96]

Thanks mate!

[@CatastropheWaiter]

Really cool and funny special!

[@dvdjn9]

Watching it back was just as funny as watching in real life, but with the advantage of being able to lie in bed wearing just my pants, might've got done funny looks walking through Brum if I'd tried to do that on the day. I wanted to sit on the front row, but my friend didn't, I feel he's partly responsible for what happened!

[@EricRushton96]

Hahaha thanks mate x

[@csparklet]

I'm glad he asked the bro to leave

[@DudeMeisterFilms]

AGREED!

Have a few London work in progress shows coming up! Join my mailing list: link in description x

[@amogrows]

very good, genuinely laughed out loud quite a few times which is good for me because I see so much stand up a lot of it is shyte and unfunny.

[@EricRushton96]

Cheers mate! X

[@Stewniverse]

World class, that. Truly excellent. You'll be in the huge rooms before long, no doubt (although for purely selfish reasons I hope not. Big room comedy is shit)

[@EricRushton96]

Thanks mate! Long live small rooms x

Hopefully will come back stronger in the next special x

[@kasroa]

Jesus Christ this audience was half dead or something. A lot of this was just going over their head. Did they even know they were going to be watching comedy?

[@DailySource]

I personally didn’t enjoy this set.

[@EricRushton96]

Fair enough

[@pissoffIsthistaken]

[@EricRushton96]

Exceptional. But I felt your pain.
