Nope! Sorry, didn't find it funny.

Obviously I didn't understand it! Or I'm just jealous.

Maybe I should just stick to skinny jeans wearing, messed up hair, thinking that Stewart Lee/Bill Hicks are God, new comedians doing Facebook and wanking jokes.

A shame as I thought the premise looked good.

So it's a bloke with a pretend robin on his finger whistling............and this is supposed to be what exactly?
Dire. Sorry but this isn't funny on any level.

I gigged with John every day for a month, and I genuinely cried with laughter every day, I accept what he does isn't for everyone, but I like it and the other people who like it like it a lot. This clip does not do him justice as a live act. Also I don't think this is a case of trendy hipsters vs old school gag merchants, it comes down to different people find different things funny, and I find John Kearns very funny

Maybe a lot of people find it funny, I also find clowns funny but there is a very big difference between a clown and a comedian

John is always very funny. In the clip too. I book him as often as I can and his material varies hugely. Great show with Pat in Edinburgh too.

Also, comment that there is a difference between a clown and comedian is stupid.

I did say big difference so does that make me hugely stupid ? I haven't seen John so he may have some wonderful material that can make an audience scream with laughter but that video just wasn't funny to me and I doubt, having it on youtube it's going to get him a lot of paid bookings but as someone said everyone is different, not everyone likes Mrs Brown.
