American Reacts to Gary Delaney Live at the Apollo

[@TomMerson]

Gary is such a lovely guy. I met him once at a comedy club near where I went to uni, and it turned out he was doing a show there the following week. He arranged discounted tickets for me and a group of friends from the university comedy society, and spent about an hour after the show chatting to us about his career and advice for aspiring comedians. We felt bad for taking up his time, but he didn't rush us at all, even when we asked if he wanted us to leave him alone.

[@cerisambrook7692]

One of my all time favourite jokes is one of Gary's. "We couldn't decide whether to bury or cremate Grandma, so in the end we let her live..."

[@garyneilson1833]

Gary Delaney starts his shows by telling a range of jokes and checking the audience reaction. When he does the main part of his act his jokes are tailored to what the audience liked at the start. I have a ticket to see him next year and can't wait

Gary is great. I highly suggest you check out this video: "As Not Seen on TV: Gary Delaney one-liners that weren't ever on Mock the Week or Live at the Apollo."

[@Tony_Regime]

yeah, that's a great video

[@robshepherd3782]

100%

[@Duncan_Hart]

I've gigged with Gary a few times and to my mind he's the best writer of one liners we have on the UK circuit. Also a top bloke!

[@markmarkie1950]

Nice. Best of luck with your career ......

[@Duncan_Hart]

@@markmarkie1950 Cheers! I do less live work these days and mostly work behind the scenes on TV shows directing / editing & writing. But can't wait to do more live stuff once the lockdown is fully lifted.

[@stephenbarrett8861]

Milton?

[@celineshoup6039]

I'm an American and don't understand some of his jokes. I've written to him, asking for an explanation, and he wrote back! (I'm keeping the e-mail.) :D

[@spidersfrommarsmaybe2742]

Henry is a well known brand of vacuum cleaner over here. It has a cheery face printed on it.

[@Paul-hl8yg]

And Henry is usually 'in the closet'!! 😆👍🇬🇧

[@markhorsburgh76]

Far too cheery for my liking!

[@bioneotokyo1]

Gary Delaney is amazing. I've seen him live twice and ended up with a headache from laughing so hard.

[@jamespickersgill8416]

More of him please, and his delightful wife.

[@andrewmoss3681]

Just got my Dad tickets to go see Gary later this year. Wish I'd kept them as Gary is hilarious. Also, EB, this is Sarah Millican's other half. A pair of ingenious comedy minds.

[@Paul-hl8yg]

Its about time we heard you chuckle to Gary Delaney bud. Knew you would like him. Yes, excellent delivery & a great use of the English language, with his double meaning words. A clever fella! Great reaction 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@havok2396]

Gary Delaney is probably one of my top comedians? His intelligence base in his 1 liners is phenomenal. I've got his book "Pundamentalist" which is about 1000 one liners that didn't make it into his tour material. It's incredibly funny...

[@amysutt]

I absolutely love your reactions keep them coming 💕

[@AlexWJ93]

I feel like we are getting closer to James Acaster/Mock The Week and I can’t wait. I’ve loved Gary and Milton Jones on there .

[@antony6913]

Haha yes

[@CMDRRustyDog]

James Acaster is great.

[@juliasanchez9055]

Loving your tour through British comedy, and loving your candor. Nothing ruins a reaction like someone who fakes it and you clearly don't, so thanks for keeping it real.

[@deirdremacnamara9885]

He's so funny. His one liners are brilliant 😂

[@Jack.Mead96]

These are great. I love Gary Delaney and haven't heard half of these jokes. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@Niggleblade1986]

Yes you did it 🙌🏾 Just booked tickets to his tour 👌🏾

[@RolanTheBrave]

I'm going to see Gary later this year - he's a very funny guy.

[@trekker3382]

me too, for the third time . . . he's the best

[@DanteCorwyn]

I saw him live with a friend a few years ago, and we've both got a very black sense of humour, and even we were wincing in horror, we loved it. It's worth watching his Mock the Week appearances, especially his dentist joke.

[@TheGreatBLT]

He has another apollo set that's pretty great. Glad to see you react to him 👍

[@betti-boop8925]

Going to see him live in August - he’s so funny 😆

[@ManxAndy]

Hi EB…..Gary is a master of the one liners …….and so dry in his delivery, 👍🇮🇲😂

[@StalwartShinobi]

Pantos used to be really popular when I was a kid, they can be anything, Peter pan, Alladin, Jack and the beanstalk, but there were always two characters in every panto, a man playing a widow named widow twanky and a girl playing a yougg boy called buttons

[@tonygriffin_]

Thought you'd like Gary. He has a channel here on YT with lots of great live performances and a good website too. Excellent choice and reaction, EB!

[@marcusalford1750]

Hey congrats on 60k subs well done. I remember when first stubble across your channel you had 21k subs wow ! Just shows how far your channel has come in such a short space of time. Just keep being your best bearded self. Here's to 100k subs ☺

Can't wait to watch your Karl pilkington diary part 2 mate! I love them longer vids I save them to watch later and watch on the TV when I have lunch or dinner :)

"Sectioned" , comes up a lot in British Comedy. Its shorthand for being committed to a mental institution for an (indefinite) period of time under Section (?42?) of The Mental Health Act.

[@jodders619]

Section 3 of the MHA. Will be reviewed at max 28 days and every patient has the right to a tribunal and a mental health advocate who is soley there to represent their interests. (Student nurse so I may not be totally accurate on time frames). Section 2 is for a voluntary stay in hospital.

@@jodders619 Thanks I could have looked it up. I used 42 in part in Homage to HHGTG and I think Douglas Adams did have some issues with the stress he put himself under.
