Kanan Gill : What Is This? (also Original)
2026•UA•1h 49m•7.5•Released
Comedy
I recorded this video a week after filming the special, just because it was the last show of the tour. It's quite different in feeling and form compared to the version of the special (confusingly listed as 'What is This? - Original' on this channel). While filming a special I focus on precision and performance, that is doing the show exactly as written and capturing the show as I first conceived it. Live shows on the other hand are also informed by their context —where is this, what time is it, how are you feeling, how am I feeling, is the room too cold, was traffic awful, did someone leave to go to the loo?, etc. This show captures a little more of the regular live experience of performing a stand up show. It's looser, and more tied to the show that day instead of the special-special which aims to capture the show out of time. I hope this isn't confusing. I'm quite confused writing it.
