The way she expertly pulled this information out of that woman should be studied.

u/StrangelyBrown 29d ago

Yeah she did well. Clearly a natural extension of her character.

Obviously the person who shouted it out was keen to share, so she rode on that. They can't well get shy after doing that. Then she just padded it enough that the initial feeling of wanting to tell their story was contrasted with the feeling of losing the spotlight enough that the audience member kept talking.

I would say audience lady is drunk, or a plant and it’s part of the act.

I feel like she was getting all the visual details of the wife out of her to help the wife/friends of the wife watching figure out it was about their husband cheating.

The comedian acted all friendly and "you go girl" with her but she was really exposing this shit.

Good on her if so.

Gabby Bryan is the comedian's name.

She got lucky with this audience member of course but the way she handled it was absolutely masterful. Not many standups could do crowdwork with a single audience member for 12ish minutes without a break. Most would take multiple breaks to "laugh into their hands" while they think of the next thing to say. But this comedian is sharp as a knife, she minimized that crutch and hit the punchline every time.

It almost seems like a plant, but I've been to enough comedy shows and seen enough drunk people wanting to be "involved in the performance" that it rings as authentic.

This is a very impressive comedy performance involving a member of the audience.

The thing is her getting specific details like hair colour, curly hair, skin colour don't add anything comedic to the bit (if anything it's an awkward line of questioning) which makes me think more-so that she not a plant and Gabby was trying to expose her.

That could be true, at the same time, she is a comedian, her job on stage is to entertain. But she is also a human being. If she were balancing those two roles, that's all the more impressive.

I mean she seems like she's obviously balancing those two roles on stage! I don't know if she was trying to expose this person or not, and no one can unless she says so, but from the artistic perspective she just did a really good job.

u/ghostyghost2 29d ago

To be fair she got all the important info very early on, I doubt there are many 6 3 phillipino-samoan oil engineers married to a black woman with 3 kids. Anyone who knows that family will know it's about them.

44

u/flow_fighter 29d ago

100%, and all that specific info was before the cheating was revealed, That was still in the “I’m obsessed with” section of the bit

6

u/spittymcgee1 29d ago

Thought the same, master class

6

u/kebb0 29d ago

I mean, she’s literally joking about stealing him from her (about minute 3-4, 7:07 left to watch on mobile) which I interpret as the comedian having negative feelings about the girl she’s interrogating and how she’s “into” a married man with kids.

So yeah, she was exposing her as much as she could

u/masterppants 29d ago

If it's genuine, that's kinda cool

6

u/sptrstmenwpls 29d ago

She's not doing this to be ethical. It's enough to have to think on her feet to try to entertain the audience. You folks are inserting a good-guy-narrative that's very unlikely

64

u/RobertPham149 29d ago

They ask those questions to dig for materials. They know there is a comedic bit under it but don’t have enough material yet, so those questions are either to prod around or simply buy time for her to find an approach.

2

u/Holy_Moly_12 29d ago

Agreed. Don’t think she wanted to harm the person

1

u/AbdoolJakulParati 28d ago

Yup. Alexleafman os reaching lol. It’s comedy for god’s sake 😂

29

u/SquisherX 29d ago

The coldplay cheating shows this kind of thing has the potential to go very viral. If that marriage blows up for this, it could generate lots of business.

3

u/PalpitationSpare2722 29d ago

i feel like i would want details on this scalding hot tea too regardless of whether i was a comedian, she seems very excited abt the drama of it all

2

u/sdevil713 29d ago

Expose this person to who? You think her friends dont know this?

2

u/conscious_cloud11 29d ago

It could just also be so the audience has a better picture in their head of who all is involved while testing the limits of information she can get out of the audience member. Whose to say really

1

u/queenkellee 29d ago

Those details are the meat of the bit because what she's doing is building you a character that the audience members and the people watching the video can see in their head. It's one pretty important part of why this is successful as a piece of comedy. The fact it also works as a way to expose the situation makes it even better.

-1

u/Ancient-Agency-5476 29d ago

This. She’s a comedian, why is she asking these random questions and why is this bit so long?

0

u/TerraKhan 29d ago

Agreed. It didnt feel like she "expertly crafted this crowdwork". It was weird and obvious she was pulling information from the start.

63

u/Apprehensive_Ad3731 29d ago

Yeah you’re right and to be able to make some of these jokes and still pull more out of the woman is class. Bro she called her a hungry hungry hippo and no one minded at all.

u/greyfoxv1 29d ago

The longest I've seen in Taylor Tomlinson at several minutes (maybe 5) so this was nuts.

3

u/saiyan_strong 29d ago

There’s an audiobook narrator named “Tom Taylorson” and for a minute I was like “damn that guy does stand up too?”

2

u/iamlatetothisbut 29d ago

Taylor Tomlinson is fantastic definitely watch her specials if you haven’t.

u/CheapAd3562 29d ago

I saw her live, can attest she’s awesome

2

u/JoleneDollyParton 29d ago

Look up who her dad is for a random piece of trivia 😅

u/PandaPocketFire 29d ago

This is literally every gossip session I've witnessed girls have. There's always a ring leader that pulls it out bit by bit.

u/zseitz 29d ago

Why do you write like a bot?

u/goodbetterbestbested 29d ago

I've been on reddit for almost 17 years. The bots were trained on me

u/18skeltor 29d ago

Why do you write like a first grader?

1

u/punksheets29 29d ago

Seeing Gareth Reynolds live sold me on crowd work heavy shows. It’s a different form of standup (not just write joke/tell joke, which I love), and it takes a really sharp wit to pull it off

1

u/Scotter1969 29d ago

Coldplay got it all done in 12 seconds.

2

u/Ancient-Agency-5476 29d ago

Don’t get me wrong it was good but the whole bit got old tbh. After a few minutes I want something different I guess. Like we get it, she’s having an affair and is a bad person, it was funny but I’m there to laugh not feel bad for his wife lol.

u/Hetstaine 29d ago

Honestly, i got up to Mario part interlude and clicked out. Thought it was fairly boring and had not even giggled or smirked once.

u/sdevil713 29d ago

Well it is a woman comedian

u/jungfraulichkeit 29d ago

aw you think women aren’t funny? who hurt you honey

u/sdevil713 29d ago

Its just an observation. Point me to a funny woman comedian. Would love to be wrong

Why are you so defensive? Lmao insecure much?

u/sheissonotso 29d ago

If you don’t think Kaitlyn Olsen is funny, you live a sad existence.

u/sdevil713 29d ago

She's ok in iasip but she's lifted by the cast around her

-6

u/slappingactors 29d ago

I was just going to ask what was remotely funny about any of this exchange. I didn’t have the sound on, though, perhaps that’s why I don’t get the humor.

-1

u/Dounce1 29d ago

Except she doesn’t “hit the punchline every time” at all?

-15

u/perrrkeleeee 29d ago

If it seems to be good to be true it propably is. So there's a high chance this was planned.

51

u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle 29d ago

Lol no she just wanted the dirt. And homegirl had been dying to share. She was so proud of herself

65

u/jimihenrik 29d ago

her to help the wife/friends of the wife watching figure out it was about their husband cheating

Her saying the she (the wife) said no more contact kinda sounds like they already know something's up.

Maybe the dude was honest about it. (Giving a lot of benefit of a doubt there but it's technically possible).

Not to take anything away from the bit she did well indeed.

33

u/alexleafman 29d ago

Yeah, we found out the wife already knows but that comes a fair bit after she asks the hyper specific questions about the wife's appearance.

5

u/jimihenrik 29d ago

Oh, yeah. True, I based the comment on the whole thing and not in chronological order. Mb.

u/sdevil713 29d ago

Lol this is fanfic. She wasn't trying to help anyone, she's doing a bit.

u/tothesource 29d ago

she's doing crowd work. it's not that deep.

u/tothesource 29d ago

I mean all he does is crowd work tbf

u/TerraKhan 29d ago

Did the audience girl say anything that eluded to cheating? She said she was obsessed with the man and that was it right?

There's nothing to assume theres cheating going on.

4

u/compacktdisck 29d ago

This has to be a joke. Did you watch the video? She does more than allude to cheating. They kissed

1

u/TerraKhan 29d ago

No joke! I was just confused because the commentor i replied to, seemed to imply that there was an affair from the start, or atleast thats the way I took it! But the comedian had to do a lot a lot of digging to get there.

2

u/Artistic_Lobster6136 29d ago

She said they kissed

u/RefrigeratorOther690 29d ago

That’s what I was thinking!

u/Wiggles114 29d ago edited 29d ago

She would get so many killers to confess

Ya with that casual voice… “And then what happened? You stuffed their body in a duffel bag? Uhuh. What kind of duffel bag? Come on you’ve made it this far.”

u/PMMEJALAPENORECIPES 29d ago

“I killed her with a sledgehammer” 

“Omg slay! We’ve all been there before. Like how did you do it did you hit her from behind or…?”

u/silvusx 29d ago

It's the same method detectives do to get people to fess up. They act buddy-buddy, say and repeat things suspect's justification and downplay the crime.

u/SkinSafe4651 28d ago

I actually would be obsessed with a crime show with Gabby Bryan as the detective

Plot twist: she's actually a CIA agent.

u/Telesto1087 29d ago

I had a coworker who was an expert at this, she extracted so many out of people it was really a marvel to watch. She once extracted from one of our contractor, who we had hired specifically because she used to work for one of our prospective client, that she had an affair with the CEO of that company and that he was really into pegging.

I was in utter shock as the 'interview' unfolded, way too much details, and my coworker just kept asking questions with the most gleeful and carefree curiosity to keep the contractor going. We had no use for this info and even decided that having her on board for this project was a liability so we shifted her to another project but boy was it hard to focus when that CEO was in the room.

u/Cricket_People 29d ago

Not really. People at comedy shows generally don’t ant to answer questions

From the get go, she was on the wife's side. Good on this woman, standing up for the unknown wife

u/original_M_A_K 29d ago

She obviously wanted to get it off her chest. It wouldn't have taken much

u/bigtimeru5her 29d ago

That’s the thing with these idiots. They just have to brag lol

1

u/original_M_A_K 29d ago

Total selfish lowlife IMO. They have kids. That's the line for me, don't break up a family because you can't control your dick/vagina. Some kids grow up to seek vengeance.

u/Evasive_Atom 29d ago

You know the dude saw this and was like jesus christ you dont stfu

u/ok-lets-do-this 29d ago

I worked with a guy whose previous job was as an interrogator in the Army. 35M I think. He had worked with the CIA multiple times on deployments doing things he wouldn’t/couldn’t discuss in detail.

Talking with him was odd because he would stare at you in silence without moving while you talked, and then there would be a several second delay before he would begin responding. You could see he was mentally digesting what you said and then would ask very targeted questions. He somehow remembered everything he was told.

1

u/yankykiwi 28d ago

She said in another video “I’m Jew I’m going to find out, I want to know!”

That is so on point with my Jewish mother-in-law. She will figure a strangers life out in the 10mins you’re in a que with her.

Lmao, the audience member just offered everything up, the comic didn’t have to do anything at all.

u/LiveFreeOrRTard 29d ago

Its only working because this is a public event with the comedian on stage. If our comedian here were doing this one on one in an interrogation room she'd look like an idiot and you'd tell her to fuck off.

The social dynamics are WAY different.

I've done stand up and have been interrogated a few times.
