He looks like the mutant love child of Ron Jeremy and Weird Al.
Top top comment!
I don't know why Stavros started showing up in my KZhead feed but he's one of the first new comedians in a while that I've felt is really fresh. Great crowdwork, love it.
Wow.... I mean... WOW? Where has Stavie been all this time? Or did my algorithm just deny mean until now? Stavie you sir are brilliant! Had me rolling all throughout your show. I will seek out and view everything you have available starting now!! You should be on the big screen!!

@@stangable2054 anyone who’s been to a comedy club in the 70’s has heard that joke. It’s not Mitch’s. It’s also a filler joke to set up the story. No one in their right mind claims ownership of established lexicon. You guys sound like edgy 30 year olds that think you’re comedy veterans.

I always come back to this when I’m having a shitty day, such a pick me up especially with a couple beers
Amazing Special, haven't laughed that much in ages! Can't wait to see what you do next!

The best comedy special out!! Seen it multiple times, great every time.
This was a great special my dude! Keep up the great work!
I'm not sure if Stavros does all his own promotion, but in the last 2 months he's been all over my TikTok and nearly every podcast I watch after never hearing of him before. Great special and can't wait to see how far he goes.
He's got a pretty big podcast called Chapo trap house, you should check it out.
He's said he's got two friends putting together his content/promotion on social media which if so is damn impressive
He started putting stuff up on KZhead like crazy and got me interested again. The crowd work shit he puts out is hilarious. Def on his game. 👍
He's a famous semi nude IG model who does comedy on the side. Hell yeah dude
A couple months ago he got two dudes to run promotion for him. All over Reddit, youtube (including shorts), and TikTok. Really glad the promotion worked, too! He’s hilarious.
Today i visited my dad who is ravaged with an aggressive form of dementia. He barely recognized me. One of the hardest days of my life. Only stavs cackle can save my mood and my soul. Looking forward to it.

Been through a similar experience with Alzheimer’s, nothing like watching someone you love and respect more than anything crumble away in front of you. Worse than death
dementia sucks, sorry man.
Sorry to hear it man. Hope you get at least an hour of laughs and relief tonight.
Keep your head up as best you can and enjoy this special
Such a great special. Such a talented comedian and the best crowd work.
I can’t stop watching this gem over n over again. Stavros, you are funny Af.!
Crazy, I worked with Stav years ago at one of my first jobs out of college, at a mortgage foreclosure firm of all places 😂 I remember his jokes and fuck this attitude getting me through the day. Loved the early days of seeing him do open mics/spots in Baltimore. This dude deserves all the success in the world. Happy his special has gotten so much attention. Props to Stav for his success! keep it up!
Lmao dude you worked at American government mortgage?🤣 That rocks
He actually talked about that job on the honeydew podcast
Pretty sure that's the job he said he did literally nothing and it took them months to find out and fire him.
Lol remember when stav mentioned that job on Michael Brooks show
Hell yeah dude. Salute. Respect.

This was a strong ass set. When you can pump out 45 mins of this quality, youre on your way.
Fucking solid. No bad jokes, no stretch of anything unfunny! Very impressive
1 of 2 specials to have me consistently laughing uproariously, if not giggling to no end as a grown man. I appreciate your role in the modern comedy scene, I hope you fully appreciate and understand where you are above so, so, so many today. Thank you and keep on keepin on!
What's the other special
@@leathakkor as it's been 8 months i couldn't honestly tell yeh now.
A lot of comedy-specials can be a bit dull/unfunny if you watch them alone on your phone. It’s just not the same as watching it live with a fun crowd. But THIS was genuine gold and I had a blast watching it alone on my couch. Loved it :)

Crowd work is something that needs to be perfected and seldom used

TY Stavros. And Merry Christmas!
A quarter million in less then 24 hours. Not only is this guy funny but extremely down to earth and likeable.
he's Michael Douglass son! Of course he is talented.
Something a little off about him though, can't quite put my finger on it. I think it's something about his face. No, his eyes. He's got kind of a thousand island stare.

This was great, thanks.
It takes me two hours to watch a one hour stavy special because I have to pause the video so often to laugh. This man is the comic of a generation and I cannot wait to see where he goes from here.

And hopefully as the living type of legend and not the he ate too many cupcakes before his prime kinda legend.

I like his style of crowd work. He doesn’t humiliate them he just makes them laugh and crack more jokes.

remember people saying stab wouldn’t be able to do a big room or a special because he “only does crowd work” killed the room with jokes AND crowd work. comedy is in good hands
Hell yeah screw those haters
Who cares? Look at Shultz too. These guys are going to be taking all the "traditional" comedians jobs IMO.
“Like that guy gets to just go to the moon and this guy will never see a doctor in his life” LMAOOO 😭
Too funny man! Crazy how all the best specials are on YT now
It took me like two hours to finish this, I had to stop every 10 seconds cause I was laughing so much. Love ya!
Insanely solid set. Haven’t laughed this hard at a special since before the pandemic
Use to watch your channel all the time!!! Nice to see you cousin.
Right?! This is the best set since the Andrew Schultz crowd work special
My guy
Aye bro. Hope you’re doing well
i agree, the pandemic was HILARIOUS
I’m so cynical about everything these days, including stand-up, but I genuinely love Stav. He’s the total package. Super happy for him.
I've seen him in some shorts before, and I started this with the same kind of expectation that it'll be basic jokes; but after 5-10 minutes, he clearly cares about what he's doing. He's funnier than I assumed. I think he will become more distinct of a voice in the next few years. Maybe I'm feeling overly positive today, idk.
Cheer up buttercup, there's still good out there
Ditto Start seeing the good in things my guy, better to grow old a silly happy guy who sees good in the world that a lonely angry asshole the whole town hates !
It seems like his biggest strength is engaging and roasting audience members in smaller, more personal venues. Doing a full stand up special on a bigger stage without that kind of audience interaction, it's a bit different for him I imagine.
@@Thiora thank you! I've been combing the comments for this exact post! I understand people laughed throughout the show, but seeing all the comments of how this is the funniest set they've ever seen, this had them laughing the hardest, 10/10 laughing the entire set, I mean, it's good they are positive comments but let's be truthful now, we're all here because we thought it was going to be a full set of him just roasting the entire audience as he does in all the shorts we've seen of him. I'm not saying it wasn't good, but it's different and it wasn't bad for his first full special. He will only get better with time and I'm waiting for the next one to drop.
you're great man. your improv with the audience is something to behold
Wow.. such a tight set. Joke efficiency 10/10

Stav's crowd work is absolutely next level. Honestly his biggest strength as a performer. He's a natural people person, and it just shines when he's interacting with people on the fly.
“his biggest strength as a comedian is when he stops telling jokes.”
@@OliviaCLTFC you're not very bright are you
I envy that skill, if I looked like him I would be such a shut in and shy.
@@OliviaCLTFC Except he doesn't really. He's like a good interviewer, he knows what and how to ask questions in order to get the best material from people, which he then turn into jokes. Crowd work is one of the hardest aspects of stand up, and very few comedians have the confidence and competence to pull it off. And honestly, it makes going to one of his shows much more entertaining
@@icp7201 your biggest strength as a comedian is

Yes!!!! Idk why I didn't see it before he is Carl!!!! hahaha

Omg I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time!! You're a gem

Stav's going to be in movies, I could see him in all sorts of things without being the same guy over and over. He really becomes different people when he tells a story. Great special.
I could see that
I thought this too! Could be a great character actor. Would fit so well in a film set in the 70s.
He was in a small indie film where he plays a cult leader of sorts and it was hilarious.
Mr Panos as his dad
I could see him the Ram Ranch
