This guy announcing a comedy world tour has him blowing up all over social media especially with the ladies. Females I never even knew were into standup are going crazy about getting tickets, guess he makes their ginnies tingle like a comedic Morgan Wallen. Has he been big for awhile? I don’t remember ever seeing him being mentioned on TD which is where I normally find out about new stand up to check out or any of his bits coming on the comedy channels on SXM. Anyone familiar with his material?

He looks very trans.

Like a guy who transed into a woman then transed back into a man.

Mrs. Vox has been following him for a while. He's pretty funny, but the bulk of his material is from the perspective of a white guy in the midst of a racial crisis.

He's pretty funny, and definitely quick on his feet. He does a lot of improv and audience interaction stuff, which definitely gets politically incorrect.

He definitely promotes the hell out of himself of FB & IG... and I assume Tik Tok as well.

I've been wondering the same thing. Looks like he blew up on social media posting crowd work clips. A lot of comics have been doing this the last few years, and it works. Looks like has two specials for free on youtube. Watch them and report back.

His standup sets (from the two specials I watched) are pretty ho-hum. Nothing particularly amazing but not bad per se. He also ended one of his sets with one of those faux serious monologues that are more about making a social point than making anyone laugh. Not my cup of tea.

His crowd work, however, is very good to great. That's where he shines.

All over tik tok. Interacts with the crowd. There's a milf and daughter that is pretty damn funny.

He's popped up in my YouTube shorts a lot. Hasn't done anything for me to dislike him. He's not overly funny or anything though. At least not to be popping up as much as he has. Granted I guess once you click one video, the algorithm will feed you more based on that.

I saw some clips on his Facebook after some friends got tickets he's pretty funny to me.

His crowd interactions are really good.

not going to lie

You hear "tiktok comedian" and immediately roll your eyes. I get it. he's a pretty boy, brocolli hair adjacent type dude who looks like Hillary Swank in that trans movie


But I've checked out some of his stuff, especially his crowd work, and he's legit. Very quick, good at towing the line of being offensive.

The answer is the women are super horny for the dude and he’s gone viral a few times on tik tok and instagram so they’ve likely seen a handful of crowd work clips and assume he’s George Carlin, but then again they don’t really care they mostly think he’s just attractive

he's actually been doing stand up since he was 15 and was on Wild n out and bring the funny few years back.

Recently he has really embraced Tik Tok and blew up from a combination of his comedy actually being good and the ladies thinking he looks good too. His crowd work it great. Reminds me a lot of what Patrice O'neal used to do in his sets. I was thinking of getting tickets to go check him out before I saw how quick they were selling. Might get resale tickets later hard to know what Ill have going on then as it's right around Mardis Gras

He’s funny but not that funny to pay those prices. I think he’s Dane Cook 2.0. Basically his ticket prices are high because women think he’s cute. I’m sure other comedians are gonna love that.

Yea he’s blown the frick up but I don’t get it. Does he actually tell jokes? Every single clip I’ve seen is him just being witty with someone in the audience and that’s it.

He's on Wild-n-out and had some good contributions there. His best was when the name of the jeopardy game was "what is something only white people do" and his answer was "what is spending time with my dad" lol.
Since then he's focused on stand-up. The few clips of his actual material have been okay, few chuckles but no belly laughing. Where he is really great at is his crowd work, very quick witted and not PC and does a good job of making of each race/religion evenly. In recent history the only comic that outshines him with crowd work is Andrew Schulz. Ian Bagg is another one who's pretty good with crowd work
And women think he's hot. He's even joked about being "new sexy" with him hitting a second puberty at like 23yrs old lol

From the videos I've seen, it's all crowd work. Funny enough once, but he doesn't seem to have an actual act. Will be interested to see if he lasts more than a couple of years. I'm extremely doubtful.
