Guy Williams is here to deliver some shockingly uncomfortable, yet great comedy.
The New Zealander has taken it upon himself to jump across the pond to bully the Australian nation. Armed with a cheeky grin and a knack for tackling the absurd, he is taking on the keyboard warriors, total drongos, and absolute idiots lurking in the comments section (his words, not mine – but definitely censored).
Williams isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo with his material, taking on serious topics and doing it all with a confident swagger and a laugh that's both contagious and borderline audacious. He won’t shy away from calling the audience a bunch of genocidal “Nazis”, but in a way that you can’t help but laugh and nod your head at.
Self-deprecation and sharp wit go hand-in-hand for this fast-paced show. His jokes don’t pull their punches, and cover a refreshing range of topics. In a particularly memorable segment, Williams takes on the hypocrisy within the comedy industry, questioning the humour that sometimes edges towards the hurtful. This bold approach not only adds depth to his performance but also leaves the audience with important thoughts to ponder. While he may be delivering his jokes from a high horse and an even higher stage, there’s enough modesty and self-awareness that makes the sets conversational and less controversial.
Williams has a rapid-fire delivery, jumping between topics with such gusto that you're left wondering, 'Does he even know where this joke is headed?' Spoiler: he does. Amidst the apparent chaos, Williams weaves a cohesive set that’s part mayhem, part genius.
With only a few moments of crowd-work, Williams demonstrates confidence, showcasing the strength of his comedic repertoire. These instances of interaction, while brief, add a personal touch to the performance, creating a connection with the audience.
It’s not for the faint-hearted, but if you’re up for a night of unfiltered comedy that hits the sweet spot between absurdity and reality, this is your jam.
