John Hastings: The Times They Are a John Hastings | FULL COMEDY SPECIAL

This is the first of three stand-up comedy specials I will be releasing on KZbin in the year of our Lord 2024. These thirty-ish minutes of stand-up comedy jokes, stories, and crowd work were filmed all over Toronto in late 2023. I cover divorce, being a white loser, getting pegged, the Ukraine War (somehow), cats, the LAPD, and a few more act-outs than I was expecting. This stand-up comedy special was filmed in a comedy club, a basement, and a room I’m pretty sure we broke into.
Directed by Dave Luca and Joey Harlem
Edited by Dave Luca
Crew (Cameras): Colin Sideris, Dave Luca, and Max Sheldrick
(Sound): Jeremy Dobski Nathan Van Nus
“This is not just a comedy special, but a self-financed labor of love by me, a bloated pro wrestling super-fan who may or may not have been pegged." is how our AI overlord ChatGPT described this special. I am releasing this and two other stand-up comedy specials to get noticed. So if you like this, please tell someone, anyone. Oh, and because of anxiety, I will also be releasing a version of this hour from a basement in Edinburgh, Scotland, to prove I do not need to hide behind edits! If you want to see it early, email me at [e-mail], and I will shoot you the link.

About me: Over the last fourteen years, John Hastings has appeared at every major comedy festival worldwide, including Edinburgh (2012-2019, 2022-2023), Melbourne, and Just for Laughs Montreal. He has told jokes on BBC Radio 4, BBC 1, BBC 3, Comedy Central, CTV Australian Comedy Channel, and CBC The Comedy Network. He is also the COCA Comedian of the Year, a Martin Sims Award Nominee, and an Amused Moose Comedy Award winner. He was briefly a viral sensation after Dennis Rodman heckled him in Los Angeles, CA. He was most recently spotted on America's Got Talent.

Saw him in Toronto. Best crowd work ever. Almost peed a little at times. 😂

[@thejohnhastings]

That's the aim. Almost pee!

[@Lil.Isrealit]

Shalom, Thanks for sharing this 😂😂😂​@@thejohnhastings

[@Mmbop-burt]

Literally master crowd worker. Needs more of that in the next specials! Not saying this one is not amazing, it is love it.

[@joey5avfc]

One of the best half hours I’ve seen for a long time, bravo Hastings!

[@thejohnhastings]

You say that to everyone!!

[@cullenhastings9921]

Amazing job brother, so proud

[@thejohnhastings]

Thank you person who is no way related to me.

[@profpaper]

I saw this guy at the Edinburgh Fringe. He is great! 🤣🤣

[@outofcloudsmusic]

John, you're a goddamn hero. I have showed your comedy now to countless friends and partake in your work with extreme vigor. The guy who brings a bag of his own toenails to the party is still one of the funniest and most disturbing images I have ever been exposed to in audio form. Also, respect for the colt cabana t-shirt. Get yourself on an episode of stop podcasting yourself, for Christ sake! Cheers.

[@thejohnhastings]

One day. One day!!

[@jkasseba]

I love John, he’s one of the funniest and nicest at the same time

[@grahamkay3464]
