Jon Richardson Live at the Apollo

[@nathanhardesty3742]

I absolutely love how Jon's comedy is basically just a judgmental person with social anxiety that talks about it on stage. He's made it to being one of my favorite comedians, easily.

[@bcaye]

It's not judgemental, he has low grade OCD.

[@ieuan._.ch4n945]

Peaches and Stream you forgot his clensleyness

[@ieuan._.ch4n945]

I cant spell

[@swine13]

@@bcaye how does that make it non-judgemental? Mental illness isn't a free pass to act how you want. If someone has tourettes, and their tic is that they smack their head on a wall every now and then, would we say "no brain damage though, its just the tourettes, dont worry about it"? If the tic was to swear would we allow that person to teach young children to spell? Not to say that Jon should be admonished for the things he is judgemental about, but he's not simply "incapable" of judging people because he has mild OCD, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If anything, he is _more_ judgemental, and its these socially excessive judgements that make people go "hang on that isn't right" and then Jon had to assess whether these erroneous judgements were affecting his life and his ability to live normally. He decided it wasn't. Ergo, just treat him like a normal guy since thats how he elected to be treated by society. And as far as normal guys go, he's pretty judgemental.

it must be interesting to be doing this, his other job as a stand up comic (as oppose to a comedic panellist) in front of someone he works with; Rachel Riley

[@Cyba_IT]

I guess it would be weird if they had a day job in an office and he was normally introverted and she saw him killing it in a stand up routine but because the panel show is technically showbiz and she's seen his type of humour there it wouldn't be that odd for him. He probably was a bit more nervous than usual though

Shrigis you thought he was describing Britain is the best at drinking from that? Seemed like he described a country that can't hold in drink and walk after a hard night

[@zstick]

parvez yousef That could be. I think when I said "best at drinking" I meant "drinks the most/hardest," and not necessarily "can hold their liquor the best." Regardless, it does seem like every comic has a bit about Place X drinking an obscene amount and it's somehow meant to endear them to the crowd the same way complimenting their sports team would, by pandering to their regional pride.
