Comedian Joe List brought the laughs to the talk show stage on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with his witty stand-up routine. List, who recently released his comedy special “Enough for Everybody” on YouTube, had the audience in stitches with his hilarious observations and anecdotes.
List began by discussing his love-hate relationship with his friends. He mentioned how sometimes he has trouble sleeping and shared a conversation he had with a friend about his insomnia. His friend’s response to his sleep troubles, which involved mentioning the connection between lack of sleep and dementia, provided List with some unexpected humor.
The comedian also shared his advice for those having trouble sleeping – counting backwards from 500. While this technique might work for some, List pointed out that it could lead to a “homicidal breakdown” if it doesn’t help induce sleep.
Switching gears, List recalled a conversation he had with a friend in Manhattan Beach, California. As they strolled along the beach, List admired the extravagant houses in the area. When he expressed a desire to live in one of them, his friend quickly reminded him about the hefty property taxes associated with such luxurious homes.
List didn’t stop there with his humorous musings on friendships. He recounted an incident on a flight where he teased a fellow comedian, Steve, about his bag not fitting in the overhead compartment. A woman sitting nearby disapproved of List’s comment, finding it a “dark thing to wish on somebody.” While List defended his playful banter as friendly, the woman’s response only fueled the comedic tension.
Adding to the comedy routine, List humorously confessed to his own dumbness and the occasional idiocy of his friends. He shared an incident at an art museum where his friend started rubbing a painting with his hand, clueless about art etiquette. List found himself unsure of the proper explanation for why touching paintings is discouraged, but instead of enlightening his friend, he decided to join in on the questionable behavior.
List concluded his standout performance, leaving the audience in uproarious applause. Showing his appreciation, List thanked the crowd for their support and mentioned that his comedy special, “Enough for Everybody,” is currently available on YouTube.
Joe List‘s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was certainly a memorable one. His unique brand of comedy, filled with relatable observations and hilarious anecdotes, left the audience wanting more. It’s safe to say that List’s star is on the rise, and fans of witty stand-up comedy should keep an eye out for his upcoming projects.
