Never gets old. Most underrated comedian of all time

[@zalle1]

Ever heard about Bill Hicks??

[@sfcarp9418]

@@zalle1 Same Genre ..... Being Awake is not individual . 👍

[@kaibe5241]

It actually does. He did the same material every single time, which is why he's nowhere to be found now.

[@JohnDoe-zg6fq]

Anyone else notice the camera jiggling after every joke? The cameraman was loving his job that day.

[@SiliconBong]

*watch Good Will Hunting, MattDamon and Robin Williams are having a little test of each others characters; Robin tells an 'amusing anecdote' about the wife of his character: the camera shakes just perceptibly as Robin reveals a few imperfections of the human being.

[@Twirlyhead]

Cameraman is the same guy who films fight scenes on US TV.

[@jockneyranger]

“Like being angry at a waterfall” & “just silence coloured in” = genius.

[@somegirl558]

..in a way...

[@HieronymusLudo]

One of the best comedians I've ever seen... his combination of really good jokes, depth, complex sentences at times and delivery are just magic. Magic.

[@CJ_YT.]

he's a bit george carlin at times isnt he

[@blakewentley]

Ooo! The way he ended was clearly not planned, but it worked perfectly within the context of the rest of his set. Truly masterful!

[@treetrain]

the ending was great. never seen a comedian call out the clock and then have it stopped on him hahaha that was great

[@RyanGiggsOBE]

Big fan of Steve Hughes, funny and has a point to his stuff. I also love his delivery, so relaxed as if he is just chatting and not up there reciting stuff he wrote down

[@Aman1012]

And how he delivers jokes in between sips of beer.

[@hansueliaufdermauer4301]

yeah he is just BRILLIANT my friend, and i guess he is proper high on drugs on stage…he is just telling truth:)

[@karepanman2770]

The pacing of his "Melbourne laugh" was great

[@joseph1845]

@@hansueliaufdermauer4301 I don't think he looks like he is on drugs

[@SubjectRandom21]

I was an angry man.......but you've got to eat!

[@scotty193]

Never heard of the guy I was watching Billy Connolly being Scottish myself and gave this guy a whirl. Absolutely brilliant and the delivery is so on point, will be trawling for more is material.

[@michaelmueller8772]

Hands down, my favourite Aussie comedian.

[@nirmalvarma3386]

And to be honest this was not even his best. Fucking gem!

[@Peter-uy3ti]

Or , equally you could say, my favourite British Comedian

[@LouiseAus10]

​@@Peter-uy3tiWhatever cuts your mustard, Peter. He's a born and bred Aussie though.

[@DarkWandererAU]

As an Australian, who LOVES metal, HATES any team sport, has been segregated more than accepted on my home soil & who constantly ponders the ugliness of humanity....good to know I'm not alone. Keep speaking Steve, n I'll keep listening

[@Grieyls]

As an Australian who does not like Heavey Metal music but hates sport I can relate in some ways of being segregated and yes I recognise the ugliness of humanity as well. We may not see eye to eye on some subjects but we can agree on others ;)

[@MrBrooxy]

What are ya...gay mate?

[@afridibinsayed9864]

but sports are great to football, basketball, cricket just when you are alone

[@afridibinsayed9864]

@Cognitive Chaos yeah I understand what you are saying the system will use every ways for control including mimicking the very same tactics that were used against them as their gain...yeah i know sports had been used as a reason to get their hiddem agendas done that's nothing new it's been going on since the days of gladiator even before that as well

[@Kristy-ns5bh]

Yeah I agree he was refreshing 💙

[@memoryhero]

_"You cooking, Hughes? You gay, mate? Yeah, I'm gay man. I'm icing cakes with 30 chicks and you fuckwits are showing together."_ XD

[@meadster308]

Can someone explain what showing together means? I'm an American who is way behind on his Australian slang.

[@richardlloyd2589]

Mike Meade It’s typo for “showering” together.

[@whatsstefon]

This is why I did cooking instead of woodwork.

[@lucymundo9916]

Classic

[@harryhasbeard8666]

He's a guy you want to have a beer with

[@arm279145]

harry has beard yeah and every time he talks about socioeconomic bullshit you take a drink

[@michaelmano7261]

I prefer to drink to get away from my problems. Not face them.

[@TrateMusic]

I've watched this clip I don't know how many times, but he's always got me cracking up about Enya 😂 it's like silence colored in!

[@paulcurran4786]

No one living beats Steve for a laugh at the madness when ur feeling like its getting to u too much, much love Steve 💪

[@MuggsMcGinnis]

F-ing brilliant. Never seen Hughes, before. A treat!

[@jigglestumps]

The second best Steve to ever come out of Australia!

[@Nikita-jo4cl]

Jigglestumps! Great name

[@somegirl558]

..I do not know of any Steve to ever play in AcDc but ok...

[@BrettonFerguson]

One year at summer camp I signed up for archery, canoeing, and drama. They didn't have baking. It was the 1980s, people asked if I was gay when they heard I signed up for Drama. I was the only guy with 30 chicks. It sucked I had to participate in a play at the end of it all, but the 2 weeks leading up to it were alright. A woman teacher ran the class, and I think she was conspiring with the girls, she had me play a cop and my scene was I arrested a few of the girls, pat down search and arrested them. First time I patted them down lightly. The teacher said, "That's not how cops search you, search them good." So I did. We had to practice that for 2 weeks to get ready for the show.

I can't believe I've just come across Steve! What an onto it, funny as comedian. Hats off, sir!

[@ShotTower1]

I really wish this guy would get more air time, he's just brilliant.

[@markc1234golf]

I'M ICING CAKE WITH 30 CHICKS AHAHAHAHA BRILLIANT LOVING THIS

[@jameshickey1294]

Just found him. He's absolutely brilliant. Creative writing. . Brilliant

[@boiledegg6788]

Hahaha I'm a metal fan, always have been, but was always a sportsman, but I can totally see his point! 😂

[@REDxOktopuss]

Dude's been in some killer bands, to be fair. Slaughter Lord were fucking incredible, and Mortal Sin were obviously utterly class.

[@BludgaBoy]

Fucking love this guy, shame there's not too much of his stuff on KZbin. Gotta catch him performing live someday!

[@TINRFD]

Cameraman had a good time too! Shake that thing!

[@automaticbog3687]

Only just discovered this guy the other day. Hes so funny and he loves metal what more could you want?

[@bradleysmith9924]

Great performance, he was on good form in this.

[@JeroenTel]

My soulmate. right there. All the best, Steve! Always! Keeping it casual never worked out as well as it did that night.

[@oppanheimer]

This guy is one of the best.

[@phranque2781]

Love that even the cameraman is laughing and his camera shakes after every joke.

[@davidingram6458]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s the crappy scaffold he’s standing on with every bastard leaning on it and shaking it. I know, because I was the cameraman.

[@Payin_Attention]

I've seen a few other videos of this basic material. This one is my favorite. Fantastic timing and delivery.

[@levkamenev3904]

As a gay man, I feel Steve Hughes often raises a number of valid points, lol.

[@ketercognitohazard]

Hey, I'm a straight guy, from America. If you're Australian, can I ask you a question?

[@NeuroHead]

Don't break the oath!! Steve always has some seriously righteous t-shirt's on.

[@paulcurran1152]

His 'while its still legal' set is still the best, haven't heard him do the funny little hat skit in any other set, plus a few others, like the door bit lol. I hear people say the audience is sometimes crap or the audience doesn't deserve him but, Steve himself said he'd rather do a set where theres hardly anyone in the crowd that KNOWS. Cause whats the point playing for a bunch of people who KNOW when the whole point is trying to wake people up in the first place! U only need one good set Steve and you've already done it! Thanks for that man, helped alot!!

[@TH3USUALSUSPECT]

Love this guy, amazing delivery :)

[@jamesnapier7789]

As an Aussie I'm so proud of you Steve. You bloody legend, you make me wanna do stand up too.....
