Really grateful for the support, yes the audience that night were soulless, it’s LA but when I did it I knew you all would be the real audience
Love your intelligence that shines through!! Screw the crowd you had me cackling
As a person from California, that crowd was wack and you are funny as fuck. I don't normally laugh out loud. But you had me literally lol'ing.
Brilliant stuff
Funny set bro. Good job.
My nigga you gotta get back into rapping...that Noah bar was OP....keep denying access to that meat 🍖 .. great set bro
“Unrest is when you’re trying to rest but need the UN.” What a great joke 😂
Thanks for spelling that out for me.
I doubt the crowd got that joke on a grammatically level and substance level 😅
Can you explain the joke? I'm not sure I got it right?
yeah those girls in the middle belong to a feminist rally not a comedy club. the girls to the very left and right were actually laughing. shame they were in the shadows.
Barrs bro, dang that audience was asleep
Is anyone paying attention to the fact he started pro life and ended pro choice that’s some high level sequencing get this guy a special cause he’s ready
I can’t say I planned it but yeah
lol@@rufat_agayev
@@rufat_agayevwell if you didn't plan it, maybe you should get yourself a world's hottest chip.
Bro killed it
Usually wont even comment on these but man, the crowd was weak as hell. He was definitely funnier than the energy they were giving. It was nice to see him power through despite the lack of enthusiasm he was recieving. Hope to see more from him in the future.
It seemed like they warmed up to him quite a bit by the end though.
agreed
they always put the worst humorless people up front for some reason... i guess its because theyre conventionally attractive for the camera but id rather have the people with the weird laughs show up on the video
I usually won’t even comment but “The crowd was weak as hell “ they were constantly laughing!!! You want to see him more ? Google him .
Nope, he's mildly funny..
You are WAYYYY funnier than they gave you credit for. No one could ever accuse you of stealing a joke, you're one of one
idk....I read your comment before watching it. Just finished it. And tbh? I felt like the crowd was thoroughly into it. His jokes ARE a bit dark and edgy....but they go riiiiight up to that line, in just the right way, such that I honestly felt like the audience was super into it. I almost feel like we watched two different videos lol..
The basketball joke was not original.
his trust in his material is so inspiring. he has that "I know I'm funny" vibe. love it
I took many L's to get there!
@@rufat_agayevyou’re hilarious dude
@@rufat_agayevcheck out Jamrock King
💯💯💯
@@rufat_agayevi mean hey, you can't spell laughter without taking a few L's
I've been waiting so long for someone from the Caucasus to make this "real Caucasian" joke. Thank you!
This was much better than the crowd makes it seem, crowd seems stiff AF.
they were, fuck em, I'm bulletproof cuz i've been shot before
@@rufat_agayev do you speak armenian or azeri ?
PLOT TWIST - I speak russian @@ihateeketchup
@@rufat_agayev omg totally forgot about russian, it's what unites your both sides💀
@@rufat_agayevngl. Being mean and disrespectful is gonna just put people off your craft. Start your PR shit
He's got some super clever material in here! Really funny!
Thank you, I graduated with a 2.3 in Sociology
@@rufat_agayev lmao
This was real AF. This is how I wish all comedians flowed. I like the way he gets into some deep topics but keeps the jokes coming fast enough that it guides you through a commentary.
He really knows how to transition between jokes. Takes you places. Hilarious set all the way through
I love the confidence and playfulness in this set.
Same
Thx
You’re a great writer and your delivery was tight. Dead crowd. Keep ya head up. Great stuff
when he said “REEESES PEESES CREAMER” i’m lost it
I love C.R.I.S.I.S!!! Thats dope!! ❤❤❤❤❤ That single mother line was epic coming from a single mother 😂 Awesome set 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you
I would love to watch a half hour set from dude. This was great
I have one coming, it’s more like 25
Rufat, I don't know if you'll see.this but you sir are one of the funniest comedians Ive ever seen.. and this is just from watching this snippet! Amazing performance!
I see it, I'm here, Thank you, it means a ton, I will save this for when I think I suck
@@rufat_agayev no problem man! Wishing you an extremely long and healthy career
Ha ha. Yes Rufat... He speaks the truth 😂
You're introducing a great variety of comedians - they've all got different styles and content. Some really funny sets.
That was some edgy and very funny stuff. Way to go, Rufat!
😂😂😂😂😂 this guy is hilarious!!! More of him please 🙏🏽
Hell yeah!
Yes, please
Gave a like for that UN joke alone 🔥🔥
The rams, the browns and the packers lmaoooo
It's great to find an excellent new-to-me comedian.
half-armenian and half-arab here, as soon as he said azeri and armenian i let outa big exhale lmao funny shit
His parents got a wild story
@@rorygreen2088what was their story ?
Ikr the guy was born funny
As an azerbaijani, I loved his story telling! Funny and lovely! And I eagerly want a peace between us! A sustainable peace! ❤️
@@naraorujova1668 Same here :) Amen to that.
Her: Did you bring protection? Him: Ofc i did, pulls out a Hot Chip Challenge!
LMAO
It's so refreshing when there's true creativity in Comedy
Thank you!
This was a lot of hilarious truth, nobody was spared. 🤣
"But you need the... U-N" lol
MUCH LOVE!
glad rufat the goat made it out nagorny karabakh to bless us with comedy, real shit 🔥
Holy shit “choice hack” killed me
YOU WATCHED TIL THE END!!!
Omg. That last joke! Hahahaha! I was hoping he’d say and he did. Chef’s kiss.
This dudes hilarious!! Bursted out laughing a few times by myself. The UN line and the g-spot bit got me. Smart and original material, get this man a special
Definitely looking forward to seeing where his career goes. Potential to be a heavy hitter
Dude you are amazing. As nothing more than a fan of Comedy - you are as sharp as a razor with your deliveries and originality!
Appreciate the kind words and support
"Unrest ; it's like when your tryin to rest but u need the UN" classic
The God spot part had me dying
He sounded like he was about to start rapping so many times 😂
Intrusive thoughts really came out during this set😂 loved it
That "G-spot" joke was pure gold 😂😂
Thanks!
@@rufat_agayev 👏🏾 👏🏾
I found it distasteful and unnecessarily offensive.
Ok my comment was premature. Youre so originally hilarious!! Never stop 😂😂😂

But you mine
Seconded
Thirdeded
Just discovered but now I’m hooked!
Movie deal for this guy... great stuff! 😂
They’ll cast me in the new Taken, doing the taking

@rufat_agayev that's one of thr best openers I've heard in awhile and I watch plenty of comedy...love never letting the audience feel totally comfortable...loved all of it
He is ORIGINAL! EPIC!
Thank You!
Punchlines and delivery on point! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic set. Confident, edgy, and subtle. Please show more from Rufat!
Man, he is REALLY funny. Very well put together set… I’ll be looking for more of his work!
Ended with a banger 😂😂
This set was good. The jokes were there, the delivery was there, the body language.
This was really really good, some of the funniest material I've seen in a while 👏
man all the joke undertones were next level
Not even two minutes in and I'm dying. Lol
That set was so good. I'm gonna play it at work tomorrow.
You clearly deserve a better audience! Brilliant
Omg I’m dying 😂 this is funny AF great set 🤣😂🤣😂
Great work my man. Love that you've continued to work on your craft. I see the growth.
thanks for the good laugh my guy
The way I would have been screaming in the audience. Brilliant!
Dude is amazing! He started with a pro life joke opener, and ended his segment with a pro choice closer! Brilliantly executed!!
This guy’s jokes are really smart. 👌🏾
He's so clever and sharp! Great comedian ❤
This guy got some crowd work man
This dude is so smooth! 😂
Man this was some really witty comedy. Had me 😂😂. Rufat you’re really good at what you do. From here on out, this is the only comedian I want recommendations for KZhead! 😂
The closing floored me! You kept taking me off guard with the jokes, in a good way. They make me laugh, then think.
WoW !! I am so grateful that this video reached me ! You hold a lot beeing Armenian and Azerbaijani , just for that I want to display your face everywhere ❤❤❤. But also very smart in your jokes !!! Absolutely unique ! ( how can it be otherwise ?) The construction is so smart and above duality like you 👍 Just on the edge like a tightrope walker you display truths in a hilarious way !! You have an enormous talent !! Come to Paris France !!! Peace and all the success you deserve ! You are hilarious at a spirit mind body personal societal level !! So so good !!❤✨👑👍👏👏👏👏
can’t wait to see you going places rufat! your material is a riot 😂
Great set! Don’t tell comedy releasing now but bangers!!

I love your set. I needed to get my mind off of things and you did that. You are great.
OMG! Your amazing set keeps on building momentum from the get-go. Amazing funny jokes 🎉
"PUT A SPORTS TEAM ON IT" i literally had to get up and walk around I was laughing so hard
I take it you don't live in NYC since you can walk around your place - Thanks for the support
Man, Rufat has some fluid eclectic energy in his sets! Stay packing bro!
This was one of the best ones yet! Confidence in every joke and I never stopped laughing 😂
Thank you
That’s so funny. Advanced travel flee:))
incredible writing! you have a unique voice for standup 🎉
I listened to this walking to the store and looked like a basket-case laughing my ass off with a hood on 😅
This might be my favorite set I’ve seen in years
Thank you, means a lot
Love this guys haircut, very relatable.
Dude is funny, looking out for more from him
So good! Also, I went to the college you're repping with that shirt. Super funny to see that shirt pop up in my recommended vids.
You got it. Keep up the FIRE work!! 😂😂
Really good set, I think you stunned the audience lmfao
Funny as hell! Hope to see more from you 😂
The promised land was inside them all along 🤣
Saw the short and needed the full set 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
man this entire set was pure genius 😂😂😂. I died came back and died again 😅
This was great! The best laughs I’ve had in awhile. Very well written, great translations, creative all the way around. The Noah’s Arc thing had me busting up- how did most of the crowd miss that?!
You killed! Just like that blue corn chip 🤣
Rams Browns Packers got me real good!
Wowwww. This one educated people for real. I know for a fact most folks do not not know about the Caucuses. So good.
Holy shit, one of the funniest sets I've ever seen. Need more from you!! Not seeing much out there.
Man, you are great! So much fun 😎
Genius. Genius. Genius. Thru and thru. I’m a new fan. Came here from a KZhead short with a live link. 11:11
It is always great to discover a new up and coming hilarious non-PC risk taking comedian.
That was intense. Loved it
Omgg😂😂😂😂 every second had me rolling!
Subtle callbacks, non-sequitirs...good stuff.
I love when a comment contains the word sequitr
Solid gold comedy! 😂🏅👍 Rooting for your success!
Same I gotta have some kids
