Imagine Bert on a series of UK Taskmaster. Gold.
I would pay good money to see that
Jesus... that would be the most ridiculous shit ever filmed. I can only imagine Greg Davies laughing his ass off at Bert the entire time.
oh the possibilities . "bert the answer was under the table, not your shirt"
I was thinking that the other day
Omg yes please 🙏 😍
Seeing Bert talk to Russell Howard in a pub is surreal in the best kind of way 👌
I’m blown the fuck away by this guy. He’s a chill as fuck sage
Completely agree😂
It’s terrible
I wonder why the place is so dusty.
A dive pub lol
“I know lots of British comedians” - rattles off a a few Aussies. Cracked me up, such an American thing to do. Loved this podcast
Such a Bert thing to do.
What a guest RUSSELL HOWARD!!!
I could see Bert doing really well on some of those British panel shows. Would love to see him around Lee Mack.
The only one would be Mock the Week, because that's great for an egomaniac. The rest of them are polite, knockabout comedy panel shows.
Lee Mack yes, Frankie Boyle would be interesting too...
My god I would love to see Bert with Lee Mack.
@Sludge rip Sean 🙏🏼
Maybe not QI.... wait, yes QI!
"My wife's a doctor" "Is she indian?" the sheer acceleration of Bert's ADHD is breathtaking
😂😂
Bridging two worlds. I grew up on British Comedy, especially Russel's show. seeing Him interact with Bert is so surreal I'm very grateful these two got together !
Ya man same I remember watching the on bbc 3 while in secondary 💯
@@MystoganOath same here ! drifted hard into American comedy once I was 12/13 once i found JRE, im 25 now and all I listen to or watch are the American guys, Gillis, Normand, Rogan, Ari, Segura- It's so much better than the UK scene right now, Saying that I watched Russel's newest Special after this EP and fucking hell it was amazing, Reminded me of when I was 13 watching one of his first specials dingledodies. It was Perfect. Hoping the younger British scene can pick it up and compete with the US
" I grew up on British Comedy, especially Russel's show" makes me feel old man xD
Yeah British comedy is better than US growing up. But since the UK is a 1/10 of Americas population its greatly underlooked.
@Safe Most of my comedians are American now, but I still have that British foundation of comedy growing up . I heard someone explain it to me and I like this explanation, British comedians can make you laugh at them in a self-deprecating way vs Americans make you laugh with them instead of the self deprecating value that makes me relate to them more. so too me it's so noticeable, so I want the material to be good enough.
Honestly never thought I’d see Bert and Russell in the same room but it’s brilliant. A perfect relaxed narrative of the intricacies of comedy and the differences and similarities of comedy on both sides of the Atlantic! Definitely made my day 😂
As a UK guy this was a really unexpected crossover 😁
You seen jack whitehall on the whiskey ginger one? It really is wierd as a brit. We should set frankie boyle on them.
I think Bert is subconsciously kept in check because I think Russell also has ADHD and keeps it in check haha
Russell "My wife is a doctor" Bert "Is she Indian" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Such a Bert thing to say.. Priceless 👌
It's things like that , made Tom segura call him a racist and wind him up constantly 😭 Bert's a legend though, I'd love to see him on British TV more
It's funny too because there are a LOT of Indian doctors in the UK and I feel pretty sure that Brent doesn't know that
@@TheGeneralDisarray i think everyone knows that lmao
It seems Russell Howard has the ability to cure Bert’s ADHD.
He's genuinely hyperfocused on him
It's the lazy eye keeping his attention
@@GSharp66 I forgot about Russell’s eye, it’s not noticeable. The only reason I know is because he mentions it somewhere if I’m remembering correctly. Yeah I really liked the interview they had with each other. Normally Bert is all over the place, but this was a good episode.
@@slightlyokok he has much better control over it now, in his early career it was pretty obvious and you're right, he's spoken about it on stage heaps
He's The Machine Whisperer
I saw this and honestly my first thought was, "no fucking way burt knows Russell howard" 🥰 but im so so glad he does!!! This makes me happy
So nice to see Bert so calm and listening for a change. As for the beanie ...looks like a goofy gnome 🤣🤣. I love Bert and Russel ...two great comics.
Bert would be hilarious on taskmaster 😂
Oh he'd be *perfect* for Taskmaster! (UK taskmaster lol)
Would love for him to even try 8 out of 10 cats does countdown 😂
@@Laidback_Ex A lot of the humour in 8 out of 10 cats are in jokes and topical humour though, I could see Bert just getting confused with the 'Britishness' lol
We need Bert on Taskmaster.
A lot of Americans can play into the lack of knowledge about Britishness on those sort of shows and it works well enough. Sarah Silverman, Reginald D Hunter, Michelle Wolf etc. have all done appearances and it has gone down well.
Why is this so wholesome and sweet?!! Bert fan-girling over Russell so hard. Rus is such a lovely human being.❤️🥰
its mad to think I was 14/15, growing up on Russell Howard and now I'm 28 and Russel looks younger than me lol
Man I was literally thinking the same thing
Russell is in his 40's and he looks bloody better than he did n his 20's
Tremendous 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The collaboration no one seen coming … but everyone is here for it …. Quality 🤣🤣
This is such a deep and substantive conversation I love it
I have loved Bert for years, and Russell for almost as long. As an American in the UK, this is fantastic for me
What a great, enjoyable conversation to watch, crossing the Atlantic there. Love it.
2 of my favourite comedy personalities together, magnificent.
Russellnis a national treasure, so glad to see him collaborating with this crew.
So glad you’ve had Russell on the podcast. Such a talented comedian. Great conversation!
I hope this leads to some more of the british comics coming onto Bertcast. I would love to see him interact with James Acaster.
Oh fuck ye that would be awesome
Segura and Acaster would be hilarious
Acaster is one of the unfunniest comedians out there.
@@elliotwilliams7421 If you dont get what he is doing...sure...
@@jpjapers what is he doing?
First saw Russell Howard on mock the week and wanted to see more of him. Been a fan ever since. Love this crossover!
"She seems so giddy to be around a fuckin' maniac." 🤣🤣🤣
Bert needs to watch This Country, he would love it!
I loved this! It was a meeting of worlds for me, being a fan of both! ❤
This is amazing! My 2 favourite comedians together at last
I really enjoyed this! As a fan of both comedians it was fantastic to hear you both discuss the art of comedy.
This is like 2 worlds colliding for me 😂
I seen Russell live in Newcastle UK 2019 I think it was and he was absolutely brilliant! Such a lovely guy with a great big heart ❤
This is like my happy place. I love both these guys and I love these types of conversations
One of THE best Bertcast in a long time. This is Bert in his element. The world needs more
I love to see these two together 😊
What a great conversation.
so glad to see him on these podcasts!!
I love you both! Keep Living your life an dreams! You BOTH ROCK!
You know what this is probably one of the best Bertcast episodes in a while.
Brilliant to watch to of my favourite comedians come together so Brilliantly
Russell is a living legend!! 🙌 🇬🇧👊
Love Russell so much and just got into Bert .Great chat! Hope russell can actually link up with Bert in the States
The best conversation ever.
Insanely unique comedic pairing and I am so here for it
one of the best bertcast i've listen to!
We need more Russ & Bert content!!! Get it done guys!!
In a pub drinking coffee and some fruit drink? Get outttt! is what you'll be told in my local boozer lol
I saw Russell in chicago back in may, it was one of the best stand up shows I’ve ever been to! ❤
Oh hell yeah big fan of Russell big fan of Bert unexpected but needed!
Well said...was just thinking the same..been lucky enough to meet Russel twice
Do you have a brain injury?
Being British I've up watching Russell Howards comedy on TV. An Incredible podcast
Bert and Russel fell in love. I never would have paired them together, but it was really sweet.
Wicked conversation! ❤
LOVE both of these guys
This is the most unlikely duo.. I love you both individually as comedians but together you are even better 😍
For any Americans that want to watch Russell watch his older stuff he was one of the best around for a long time.
Russell is my favourite comedian and I'm so pleased you interviewed him. This video is gold!
I loved that so much!! Seeing them hang out would be cool
This was a master class. ❤❤❤
one of the better podcasts you've done buddy
That sounds like how you get home 🤣🤣 that line got me
This was great! Only heard of Bert from TrueGeordies podcast, liked Russell for years, but this is the first podcast i’ve ever watched the entire way through, they’re usually too long for my attention span but this was really good, thanks 😁
I hope this reaches you bert, like a fart in the wind, This is my favourite bertcast, I really enjoyed the whole thing 👏, It was like the multiverse of comedians, I loved it.
This was a real pleasure to watch gents. I had Russell in my cafe in Bristol before his special - and he's just a nice, laid back, down to earth dude. If you're ever in Bristol Bert, coffee is on me 😜
two of my favourite comedians together at last :)
used to watch russell howards good news back in the day on bbc 3 as a 9 year old. after years of not following him good great to see the man he has become and his outlook
Just put all notifications on, together pure joy, hope you collaborate again. Individually great yet surprisingly his yang to your yin, works. Both sincere and Russell Howard is a genuinely warm, giving comedian, imo.
The end was so heart felt Bert u the man n rus u a goat bro
This is absolutely amazing and i never expected to see it
Ten minutes in and I’ve coughed up a lung laughing. Great stuff.
Russell is such an incredible comedian. For all of Berts other fans here that haven't seen his stuff I highly recommend. Just do it!
This made me love Bert even more
I met Russell in Chicago back in like 2013 and he was just the most genuine dude. So nice. Been a fan of his since I lived in the UK in 2010. One of the few comedians that can make you laugh your ass off for an hour and a half straight and then make you cry because he gets so deep and then make you laugh again while you're tearing up. His stand up is an emotional roller-coaster in the best way possible. His older stuff is all on peacock too and well worth checking out
The podcast we never knew we needed
Just ,two funny fellas having a chat and giggles 👌😏
I love the UK crossover! The discussion of perspectives and differences was great too.
that Ralphie May joke was amazing. On another day that might have tore the roof off the place, lol. also a Bert tour of village pub games would be hilarious.
Russell is hilarious, I watch a bunch of UK TV, he's great.
As someone who grew up watching Russell, this is beautiful
I really enjoyed this and being from the uk,I new of Bert but hadn't seen his standup .....now I will, cheers bro, Russell did great too
wow Rus was my favourite comedian in highschool, haven't thought about him in ages this was such a cool throwback. this is going in the regular re-watch pile along with Daniel Sloss and Taylor Tomlinson
Yea I really enjoyed him, I think with most comics in the UK like this, they tend to get involved in some shitty British game shows and become a regular on a fairly family friendly safe programme
Two of the world's best stand-up comedians in my lifetime still going who kill and f****** standout is you Bert kreischer and Russell Howard keep up the marvellous working never stop doing what you what you're doing because you made me realise I can do more
This pod has made me excited to see Russell in the US - need to see him interact more with US comedians
The duo i never knew i needed
Been watching russ since he played to 25 people in my local pub. An amazing comedian. And Bert. Well Bert is a phenomenon
44:55 Russel really channeled his in Tom with the "that's clearly it"
Love both of you guys, the bounce off each other will be great. X
Ive always wondered what Bert would be like with a British Comic - really glad to see this happen!
I love seeing my fave US comedians link up with British ❤
Best episode for ages! Bristol boy done good 🤘🏻
Love both Bert and Russel
O this is brilliant been watching his standup and shows for years
i grew up watching Russell Howard, I've seen him live & I'd love to see you live Burt, but omg what an incredible cross over
The crossover I never knew I needed
If Russell does go out on tour with Bert I honestly can’t think of a better show!
Literal comedic black hole.
Bert really managed to reel it in on this one, nicely done son! Solid Ep.
Saw my jacket in Torquay, joys of being huge 😂 Cracking gig can't wait to see him again
my two fav comedians? Yes please
best one to date. more uk comedians please
Podcasts keep me alive.
2 of the best. Russell has long been my favorite standup. The TV show on Sky is the best. Met him in DC too! Nice chap. Hope this makes him better known in the states so he can tour more!
I love the fact these guys are making plans to go on tour together hahaha it will be brilliant if they do
