Audience Disruption Makes For Better Comedy Show

Drew Lynch (as seen on America's Got Talent and KZbin), a stand-up comedian known for incorporating and reforming his stutter, gets a nice change of pace when a "Heckler" turns out to be a nice fan. Taking the risk of interaction, Drew explores how to turn an unexpected moment into a fun highlight for the entire show.

Third book idea: We All Laugh at People with Gluten Allergies

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

😂 that's so funny! That would have been amazing in this set!

[@TheDrewLynch]

😂😂😂

[@AIvska]

Whelp I’m getting laughed at again 😂

[@makavelismith]

Ya, but there are people who genuinely are, and these bloody hipsters are dragging them in with them.

[@southparkfirefly]

@makavelismith Even though I agree with you, the op comment is a joke don't take it too hard.

[@judgemental9253]

My humor is so sideways it wasn’t the ikea joke that made me laugh but the short edit explaining that IKEA is, indeed, Swedish.

Same!

I read your comment before really watching the video yet, proceeded to do the SAME THING, and laughed at myself in retrospect.😂

[@anonymous_123anonymous]

I absolutely love that this audience member wasn’t just an obnoxious heckler like you always get. He was actually super kind. He had a genuine gift for you. He didn’t interrupt you at all, besides getting your attention initially. He didn’t get offended by anything. He was so fun!

[@Brrainz]

… and was really into promoting his new book

[@anonymous_123anonymous]

@@Brrainz and he did it respectfully. If you listened to what Drew said, it’s a book that he had messaged Drew about prior to the show and they had a whole conversation about it, in which he told Drew he was going to bring him a copy of it. Sooo, what’s the problem here?

[@Brrainz]

@@anonymous_123anonymous I am not saying that it is a problem. But to me, especially considering Swedish social norms, this is pretty unusual and bold. I live here and this kind of “me me me” is often frowned on here.

[@anonymous_123anonymous]

@@Brrainz okay in that regard I can respect that, I will give you that. Here in the US it’s not that it’s generally neither accepted nor frowned upon, it really just depends on who the comedian is and how they prefer their show to be run.

[@justsaying8]

He did kinda interrupt didn't he? Making it all about the book and wanting him to hold it up etc... it was all about promoting the book

[@Vincent_Beers]

That casual Stockholm syndrome comment while receiving the book was so smooth and got almost no reaction, really funny.

[@DodonaWind]

It flew right past me! I thought he was gonna make that joke about the 65 mile long art museum. Lol.

Drew, you are in the running for GOAT of handling audience interruptions.

[@orielwiggins2225]

Right!?!?

[@MB-un2fb]

IDK why but him going from from illustrating kids books about laughing to a book about gluten allergies absolutely sent me.

[@dirtdiv3r]

where did you end up?

[@Savyflores]

Probably right to Sweden

[@M.M.M.M590]

​@@SavyfloresWhat are you trying to say?

[@Savyflores]

Someone made a joke about “where did you end up” because someone said his joke “sent me.” I added on “probably to Sweden” because that was the country he was performing at

[@M.M.M.M590]

@@Savyflores Ok thanks for expleining. I understod that when i continued to watch the video my bad. I was to fast at writing. should just have waited till the video was done. then i prob would have understod it.

[@JohnRice992]

I saw a real connection with the audience. That isn't a bad talent to have.

[@Okabim]

I was there, the book was perfect because while you were reading the book in Swedish you were literally narrating the scene that was unfolding. The bit with the bottle cap was also really good.

[@bastiat6865]

Your adaptability to the audience allows a natural flow to your comedy. And you still controlled the stage while allowing the audience member to engage with you. Not heckling just having a desire to interact and have a human experience. You represent what being a caring human being looks like in the performance space.

[@phantomlogic6940]

10:52 The fact that a translation was there the whole time broke me. 🤣🤣

[@raphaelgordh8251]

As a swede, this is a wild and unexpected crossover

[@tracyruth4247]

Somehow that book reminds me of the children's book "Everyone Poops"!😂

[@evansjessicae]

Yeeeeeessssss! 🤣

[@imjustsomeguy72]

8:53 punchline that jumped unbidden into my mind to top this off: "OOOHHH, so THAt's what this is. This isn't a comedy show, this is community college for you guys, yeah?"

[@dirtybranchez5]

I really enjoy how you break down moments in your shows Drew. It gives great insight into the comic's perception and thinking in the moment. To boot, you're funny as all get out. Easily now one of my favorite comedians along with Jim Carrey and Dave Chappelle 👍🏼

[@BrutusMaximusAurelius]

That "Oh, hilarious" had me dead. NOW you tell him? 🤣

[@AaronAaron247]

As a stutterer myself I love seeing one of us being successful in a job like standup comedy.

[@survidmt]

Really like your honest breakdown of it from the comedians perspective, great insight for many. Thank you.

[@propman3523]

Drew, you are a joy and an inspiration! Bravo!! I have friends in Finland, who have a close relationlationship with Sweden. And they too have a problem with showig emotion. They are wonderful people,, but the emotional connection is difficult. This was a wonderful educationl clip that lesser comedians won't bother to make. That's why YOU are the next generations of great comedians. You rock, Drea! God bless!

[@depleteduraniumcowboy3516]

I really enjoy your crowd work. You aren't really mean, despite it is rude for audience members to interfere with a show, but it is cool how you still create great comedy in the moment and give the crowd a unique experience. I think that would be fun. Don't get me wrong, I love the squirrel ladder joke (for instance) but I do see it coming a mile off, cuz I watch everything you post as it makes my day brighter.

[@alliekat1431]

12:53 Is that… a banana chair…?

[@CreativeSteve69]

Thanks for sharing this with us Drew. I've done improv for awhile, clowning, now i wanna try and tackle comedy next in my disposal. this was such great to see a positive light on how to handle Audiance Interuption into a positive light. Thanks again Drew.

[@oscarnunez4143]

You're amazing Drew. I've been watching you for years and seen you go from someone who struggled to get through his set (especially when talking about bananas) to someone who has become one of the best crowd work comedians out there. Thank you for hours of laughs.

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

Please keep making these videos! They are so fun to watch, and I bet they will help young people who want to become a comedian as well!

[@gretchenrae4797]

Drew, I think you’re incredible! Your intelligence and deep care for people comes through when life has its way with you and you make interactions like this magical moment about going with your gut and allowing the experience to happen to the benefit to even the most cynical of your audience. I’ve been a fan for years and seen you in a show in my small town. You have a fan for life ❤ and thank you for the smile first thing in my day!

[@evansjessicae]

Drew, the main reason I watch you is your absolute genius for crowdwork. 🤣 Never stop!

[@jessicabennett9915]

I love seeing you in person just to see the audience interaction. You're so great with working with whatever comes up.

Flint Michigan has left the chat

[@Sinful_morality]

I genuinely don't know how he would react to green chiles from Pueblo, Colorado...

[@only1muppet]

No no that’s honestly not what should happen. It would seriously interrupt his performances and I think most of us fans would prefer to hear the jokes. He’s a such a brilliant performer and shouldn’t be hindered by people expecting him to stop a show just so they can get a reaction from him. To me that’s a crappy move.

[@LookinGoodAnya]

Drew, I'm crying laughing at this. Such a fun interaction that you handled *wonderfully* and turned it into a great time for all! Showing the illustrations to the audience and saying you'll show them on the podcast too was brilliant PS: can't wait to see ya next time you come to Portland!

[@servantofjesuschrist-tb8ns]

What I've always loved about your humour is your ability to make fun of yourself. You are very funny in other ways too, but I love that you still have a self-deprecating sense of humour. It makes what you do so much funnier because it's obvious you aren't being mean or condescending when you "make fun of others".

[@KiwiBay2.0]

I like your stutter. You come off MUCH more relatable than most other comedians.
