I saw this guy in York, England and met him after the show, it was the most awkward interaction I've ever had, but it just made me love him even more

[eseguerito]

Dude at 1:10 is fricken astral projecting or having Vietnam flashbacks or something

[StiCobra]

"I'm here to spread joy. But then I open my mouth, and it creates huge discomfort."
Legend!

[Yarivperelmuter]

Daniel my brother, if you're reading this then i want you to know i'm fu**ing proud to see the journey you've made!
Remembering you killing in London and now you're on Colbert killing it on national US tv !!
You went for it all the way... Your long lost comedy pal from London x

[Hmm...Whats-Their-Name]

Dude, the guy on the left at 1:10 is killing me. Wtf is that face? Why is he so scared/confused? He looks legit concerned. I'm dead

[StewChicken]

My laughter from Daniel was immediately halted by "dude who currently doesn't know where he is or what's going on", at 1:10.
Freaky.

[Redhunteur]

The far left guy at 1:09 looks like he just remembered he left his kid in the car for the last three hours with the windows rolled up.

[giyu]

4:40 " I can't wait to hear what he doesn't have to say " i'm dead

[StewChicken]

I relate to that dude SO MUCH. I love his jokes, I was laughing the entire time. I wish him all the best and hope he becomes a big star. Also, he should be a droid in Star Wars.

As someone with anxiety, the punchline about the mirrors "...so you can look at your own doubt" was funny because it hits close to home.

[zoomdaddyo]

"I'm here to spread joy" 😂 😂

[krystofdayne]

Oh my god that bit about switching from group to group at a bbq just before people get suspicious that you don't actually contribute to the conversation hit way too close to home 😂😂

[melaniejackson-cracchiolo]

This guy is hysterical. I love him. He made me laugh more than any guest comedian. i hope I see a lot more of him here in the US.

[curtis]

At 1:10 I think the guy on the far left is enjoying this a little too much

[Lougallops]

It takes patience and skill to pull off this kind of timing. I loved it.

[Zultma]

"Look at your own doubt", haha! Making me proud to be norwegian!
Lykke til videre, Daniel! :D

[AxAngeltveit]

Who will be the first to make the gif of 1:10 guy, that’s a meme just waiting to happen.

[FergusVids]

Always loved Daniel Simonsen, so good to see him back performing!

[thepresence]

He's describing my party strategy so accurately 😂😂😂

[Repomidnight]

Just saw this air and immediately thought- “I’m watching a STAR hit the earth”. I’d bet everything on Daniel being a household name in a few years.
