RAW Comedy Club - Steve Hughes

The Australian comedian Steve Hughes at RAW Comedy Club, Sweden. November 2, 2009.

[@MxMagpie]

I adore how this is in Sweden and they are so well versed in English they get English-language comedy perfectly. I have so much appreciation for bi-linguals.

[@azynkron]

English humour has always been big in Sweden. Monthy Python was huge (still is, I assume). But to get it you need to understand irony and subtle twists in the language.

[@Angivel]

@@azynkron Oh yeah, swede here, and I can vouch for that. Monthy Pyton(british comedy in general)is really big in Sweden and is frequently quoted even today, by My generation at least(turning 37 in july)but I fear the younger "tiktok-generation" might not.

[@gabrielallen790]

@@Angivel Same thing over here in Australia. If I had kids, they'd be watching the likes of Monty Python, Steve Hughes and other profound/meaningful comedy - not Tik Tok or reaction videos of videos.

[@jonasljungsundwall1388]

@@Angivel me personally along with alot of my acquaintances (born 85-95) love monthy pyhton and the likes. so i think its still very much beloved humor even for the younger generation. not so sure about the people born after 2000 however.

[@MertBert]

The entire Scandinavia does learn English at early stages. Just wanted to let you know of this, 10 years later

[@Skall-ex]

Imho this is one of the best stand ups of all time. Bits, timing, delivery, all genius

[@Harryandleo]

I laughed so hard at one of Steve's live shows he had to stop till I caught my breath.................... true story

[@Slashx24]

This is the first time I've ever seen this guy perform, but he is now instantly and permanantly my favourite person.

[@marcellocapone4925]

I've been watching this for years. And it never gets old. On a side note, the flatmate who was with him when they got robbed is Jim Jefferies, who once mentioned it on the Opie & Anthony show.

[@caboolturescumbag]

Really? Hahaha wow small world eh, surprised Jim hasn't incorporated it into any of his routines.

A breath of fresh air. Its been since Russell Peters that someone this brilliant has come into world of comedy. One of my three favorites: Russell, Tim, and Steve. A tour perhaps?

[@paulcurran4786]

9 years and no likes......maybe its cause Steve is on a different level to the other 2.....maybe

"I dont wana stereotype anyone but i have a pretty good feeling youre into hip hop" nailed it.

I love it. I particularly love that he made fun of the Swedes. Cause I'm a Swede, and I like jokes that I can relate to.

[@SaintVeloth]

Props on the Nifelheim shirt. Great comedy, and he clearly knows his metal!

[@TheBaldapap]

Two favourite new quotes from him "And the people don't seem to notice or care" and "They will stare at you until you fucking cry!"

I learn Swedish WHILE I laugh... it's educational :D

[@BrotherBloat]

most of Swedish TV is in English with subs - a perfect way to educate a nation! When travelling to Sweden, you'll find that everywhere you go, people will have medium-to-great level of English, even the old ladies in corner shops!

As a woman, I say... not really. The soy boys are probably bi. Cuz many can’t even get a woman. The truth is that women today are tougher than most men.

[@Nightdare]

@@zabelicious Not really, but the moment a guy acts like a guy should, they castrate the poor fuck Just look what happened to that guy scientist that put a rocket on a fucking meteor, but wore 'the wrong shirt' i.e. a guy wearing a shirt with beautiful scantily clad women printed on them

[@japr1223]

@@zabelicious lol modern women think they're tough, right up until they pick a fight with a man who believes in true equality. Don't get me wrong that man is not me, I'm well aware of male superiority and now so are the women being thrashed in female Sports by the chemically castrated men who are allowed to compete against them. Because even neutered, men out perform women in everything except child rearing.

[@aksdblaka]

How long has he been doing these saaame jokes?

[@mwangikimani3970]

Its his material he can do as he wishes - the real problem is that we are using copyright violating digitized internet media to watch stand-up comedy... that's the problem. Comedians have been re-using their material since Socrates told the philosopher joke. In the real world you'd have to follow him around the world or buy a $500 collection of his material to hear the same joke several times:)

[@aksdblaka]

I've seen him live once in the UK (payed entrance fee) and generally take every opportunity to support lesser stand up acts that have amazing potential! What I dislike is when these same comedians cant re-invent themselves or bring new material to the stage which is the case for Hughes.... As for the copyright regulations and violations thats a whole different story and the great irony would be to discuss it on youtube :P

[@johnwick1225]

Its called a act or routine every comedian has one

[@asparrow9876]

@@johnwick1225 The only sad part is he uses it so often for recorded performances. I wish he kept track of which routine he used for which special and never repeat them again in front of a camera in the audience, which would force him to create and come up with new and better jokes. Not saying he sucks because he does this, but it does get repetitive especially for those who see him as their increasingly favourite comedian, only to find every video to be nearly the same.

[@resevil2396]

lol, since when are metalheads homophobic? Rob Halford is gay and no one seemed to mind when he came out. it certainly hasn't tarnished his status as a metal legend. though I'm guessing that was more just said for the rest of the jokes.

[@MachineAnimal]

There are people like that but it's becoming a minority. Fortunately.

[@TakeYouToSchool]

take it more seriously dude

[@coalhalo]

When Rob quit Judas Priest and came out it did cause comments at the time. Society, parts of it anyway, has changed considerably since then. When the singer Gaahl of the band Gorgoroth came out more recently, he too was derided by some people. And after he stated that he and his partner at the time we're going to put out a fashion line he got flak to the point he retired from music for awhile. These days I think the majority of people couldn't care less. But in the very recent past homophobia was still the norm.

[@Suuulan]

He's talking about the Death Metal scene

[@redneckhippiefreak]

For those that were not around in the 80's I can attempt to explain. Death metal was a completely different form of Heavy metal that was a heavy form of Metal that was a heavy form of Glam rock that in turn was heavier than the Pop Bull Shit like Stevie wonder, Michael Fuckson, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. The Heavy metal Scene was the Wild west of Music from 1979-1987. Rob halford was Gay but Dee Snider was not, yet to look at them side by side during a concert.. One would expect a guy in silk scarfs, full on Whore layered makeup and rainbow stretch pants to be a little light in the loafers.. but never the Leather wearing, spike laden, biker lookin dude to be Gay. In those days though the MAJORITY of the Death metal scene were pretty much ass beating mosh pitting gay bashers, and had no clue Who was Gay,, Except for Freddie Mercury and Elton John..."But they were Pussies".. Much could be said for the rest of the Metal scene as well..So much so that We may have even liked the other band, But, if seen in the fan garb out of a venue, The participants were at odds. Think Bloods and Crips for the metal scene.."Im wearing Fucking Metallica and you are wearing God damned Twisted sister, Ya fuckin Faggot.." "Fuck your dick suckin Metallica Im wearing Helmet" And its on..... But..if you were wearing a DefLepard shirt in that scene, its 3 against 1. XP. In some scenes of the day you could get your ass beat just for simply having short or long hair.... at the SAME show! It was risky to search out new music back then. You literally had to either dress the part like an undercover cop or learn some concert smarts and wear all black and puch the first fuck to talk shit. XD Ahh good times. But, As we can clearly see, Times have changed. Although not quite Proud of those days, I think we need a little of an infusion from those times. Social evolution has watered down the real Social experience in general. When speaking of Music, Ugg,... Now we go on line research the show, order tickets and sit in a seat barely participating like sheep in a stall. Our music isnt experienced anymore, Its just heard or listened too. . . . In some ways we were in denial of our actions .. In others we were just living.

A reason is irrelevant. It's just as ridiculous as asking for a reason why non-smokers shouldn't tolerate secondary smoke, or even a reason why smokers should tolerate non-smokers' intolerance. There is only choice and freedom. We have the freedom to smoke, and you have the choice to GTFO! & the whole attitude towards this 'secondary smoke' bullshit is based on nothing but a hoax.
