This is the first of three stand-up comedy specials I will be releasing on YouTube in the year of our Lord 2024. These thirty-ish minutes of stand-up comedy jokes, stories, and crowd work were filmed all over Toronto in late 2023. I cover divorce, being a white loser, getting pegged, the Ukraine War (somehow), cats, the LAPD, and a few more act-outs than I was expecting. This stand-up comedy special was filmed in a comedy club, a basement, and a room I’m pretty sure we broke into.

Directed by Dave Luca and Joey Harlem
Edited by Dave Luca
Crew (Cameras): Colin Sideris, Dave Luca, and Max Sheldrick
(Sound): Jeremy Dobski Nathan Van Nus

“This is not just a comedy special, but a self-financed labor of love by me, a bloated pro wrestling super-fan who may or may not have been pegged." is how our AI overlord ChatGPT described this special. I am releasing this and two other stand-up comedy specials to get noticed. So if you like this, please tell someone, anyone. Oh, and because of anxiety, I will also be releasing a version of this hour from a basement in Edinburgh, Scotland, to prove I do not need to hide behind edits! If you want to see it early, email me at [email protected], and I will shoot you the link.

  • Saw him in Toronto. Best crowd work ever. Almost peed a little at times. 😂

    The times they are a changing but one thing remains the same, John Hastings is great at slinging zingers!!
  • @joey5avfc
    One of the best half hours I’ve seen for a long time, bravo Hastings!
  • John, you're a goddamn hero. I have showed your comedy now to countless friends and partake in your work with extreme vigor. The guy who brings a bag of his own toenails to the party is still one of the funniest and most disturbing images I have ever been exposed to in audio form. Also, respect for the colt cabana t-shirt. Get yourself on an episode of stop podcasting yourself, for Christ sake! Cheers.

    If someone as funny, spontaneous, and peggable as you also has anxiety, that gives hope to the rest of us. Just wonderful. I loved your special.

    John! I'm so glad that I discovered your comedy. I watched this one hour from beginning to end, and you had me rolling the whole time. Not only you are hilarious and super witty, you are just so fresh and interesting, and who knew someone like me related to you so much! I'm going to tell everyone about your comedy!
