12 Hilarious Comedy Specials You Can Watch For Free On YouTube Right Now
7. Andy Barr-Neustadt
Andy Barr starts this recording of his 2018 Edinburgh Festival hour by explaining to the audience that the performance space he is filming in is actually too good for an optimum performance of the show.
That sets the tone for an off kilter hour of comedy in which Barr plays an architect in the 1970s recruited by Russian spies to build the perfect soviet city. He is then approached by British intelligence to act as a double agent.
Its high concept stuff grounded, sometimes nearly derailed, by plenty of audience interaction. If you like the idea of a comedian engaging with the front row but don’t want to be singled out yourself, then this the perfect show to watch over dinner, safely separated from the performer by time and space.
