[@jabbawabs]

One of the most original stand-ups I've ever seen.

[@Connplayer]

Yes very original. A stand up who isn't funny at all.

[@anon420098]

@@Connplayer haha this comment was funnier than the video

[@dark.angel1880]

I knew after watching task master this wasn't going to be normal stand up comedy. Now after watching this I'm like ah, makes sense.

Sameeee

[@MyNvK]

you should definately check out no more jockeys then

[@monicacasares9698]

Same! I'm in love with him now.

[@sirspate]

Besides Taskmaster he also has No More Jockeys, it's more of his type of humor. He's an absolute glutton for punishment and Dad jokes. Also, there's Bad Golf.. I get the feeling Alex just records everything he does, and that's ok!

[@meetaverma8372]

I recently finished watching all series of Task Master, and now it's over it feels like something is fundamentally missing from my life. I wish there could be a new episode of it every day of the week.

[@craiglewis6145]

I've met him, he's quite a big fella

[@TrevorCopter]

When you’ve never seen Alex Horne’s stand-up but you know exactly what Alex Horne stand-up would be like 🤣🤣

[@froarulv]

The audience completely missed the best joke. I can't hear you...because this is prerecorded. Alex Horne is a brilliant comedian.

[@BethanyLowe8773]

THIS exactly! It's too subtle to get live, but I laughed out loud.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

The olives joke also deserved better

[@docmcstuffins5859]

Came looking for this exact comment!

[@RFC-3514]

@@oldvlognewtricks The 0lives joke kind of relies on _not_ getting a big reaction.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

@@RFC-3514 The awkward Horne delivery does work with it, for sure. I’m just surprised there was no reaction at all - even with a delay! It gave me an involuntary chuckle burst the first time I heard it.

[@dgtlgtr3272]

Watching this I was like "he's joking" "is he joking?" "this dude ain't no joke"

[@The_Chris_D]

That olives joke was CRIMINALLY underrated!

[@jwvandegronden]

He knew it would be... But it is a great joke. Needed a long walk to get there, but the payoff was there: 0lives were changed ;-)

[@ItsJustMe0585]

​@@jwvandegrondenomfg, I totally didn't get that joke. Thank you for literally spelling it out. I'm way too high. Will watch this again when I'm not so I can appreciate it more. XD

[@andrewmartin3671]

Once I received a note saying that The Queen was ill and I announced to the audience that she was one hundred and eleven.

[@utsaxman]

Ha! I just got it 20 minutes after watching the video! 😂 0lives. 🤦‍♂️

[@farfromirrational948]

It's a joke I will likely share, knowing full well people will groan and roll their eyes at me.

[@doctordragonite3064]

This was wonderfully strange

[@rexstetson1717]

I fell in love with Alex’s comedy from his guest appearances with The Horne Section, on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. From there I found Task Master, and now am obsessed with that show.

[@wilko3017]

And Greece is known for olives, if someone was missing the last piece of the puzzle.

[@TenMinuteDrumSolo]

That was something quite special. Alex Horne is just so amazingly clever and innovative, whether it's music or stand-up or game shows. He is, I believe, a true comic genius.

[@chriskaprys]

It never occurred to me that Alex would do stand-up. I'm already pleased and I haven't even watched the video yet.

[@slyasleep]

Well now I‘m pleased for you.

[@eyachouaieb2102]

His sense of humour is very unique and it is ABSOLUTELY up my alley.

[@Midrealm_DM]

Is he Heckling himself?

[@E_y_a_l]

No, it's Michael Caine .

[@Renzsu]

I love it, when he squeezes his eyes in frustration. He's a pretty unique dude :)

[@meetaverma8372]

He's doing it, so no one else would

[@BossHossV8Cycles]

A comedian heckling himself. That is truly the genius of Alex Horne.

[@AHTS_1997]

Having met Alex through Taskmaster, it’s honestly quite strange to see him in regular clothes and not a suit 🤣

[@thaumaTurtles]

after having seen him on Taskmaster, I was wondering what Alex's comedic style would be like without someone else to play off of. turns out he just invents someone to fill that role

[@musical3lottie]

So so true! He's often said he does better when he's not alone on stage and yeah, making that other 'person' is exactly what he's done here.

[@arkham2498]

I feel like this guy is gonna go places one day like make a tv show that becomes a cult sensation about making other comedians do random tasks

[@colemantrebor6574]

Quite specific, what makes you think so?

[@neithere]

I think he may be even open to sitting on a cake.

[@MrYoubrian]

This is, but maybe for a brief moment in time, a Rowan Atkinson level bit. The memorization and impeccable timing remind of of Rowans bit where he portrays a janitor with a push broom that finds an invisible drum kit.

[@Anonymouse85]

Oh boy, that was a tough crowd lol. I'm sitting here giggling my head off but there were hardly any laughs from the crowd?

[@TheIrishGuyVlogs]

0 lives...Olives 😂😂😂 oh little Alex Horne, you're a legend!

[@fawkes2327]

Oh Jesus I didn’t get it! I was searching the comment section in my stupidity lol

[@courchar]

thank you for that 🎉

[@jamiefinn4438]

You know what, it's weird mainly because the audience feel almost mugged. Like the mask is pulled away. When we watch stand up it's live, but every word is probably exactly the same and he proves how unorganic, despite how it might seem, stand up is

[@jamiefinn4438]

@Halcyonacoustic people like Andrew schulz and such, but even sometimes some people use crowd work to lead into jokes. But most sets are insanely well rehearsed.

[@saryukulele]

I think it kind of depends on the comic. Someone like Jerry Seinfeld is incredibly careful with his use of language and has every bit pruned down to a specific carefully crafted script. But someone like Ross Noble will just launch in to a topic and let his ADHD take him down some random wacky path, just making it up as he goes along.

[@stevej1154]

Never seen this before, but I love it, so original and so flawlessly performed.

[@Spikey100000]

I’d never seen any of his standup before. Only knew him from Taskmaster. It’s so random, and weird, and awkward, and unorthodox, and yet it was somehow still hilarious hahah. I’m impressed, well done Alex! I say “well done Alex,” like he’s gonna see this. I know full well that he’ll never see my random KZbin comment, on an old video, of his old standup routine. Oh well lol! 😂🤣 And then I type that whole paragraph (and this one) basically speaking to myself cause nobody else is gonna read my comment either....and so life goes 🙂
