The great thing is you can tell Carl is genuinely surprised that the crowd is having a laugh and you can see his motivation and confidence grow within minutes. Carl's jokes are great observational humour and whilst not always the funniest of jokes, coming from him he pulls them off well and one can not help but love watching him. A great guy and great comedian.

It’s funny how Carl couldn’t believe he was funny when he first started out. It’s lucky for us that he kept going, otherwise he would have been a roof tiler.

He’s such a modest guy. Not believing they are laughing with him. Good dude.

... His genuinely surprised that people are laughing. Aussie legend now. Even though his material is everyday mundane things, his unique and genuine delivery is what makes it work.

I like how this is over 20 years ago and he still looks the same.

"He even looks funny" Ahhh thanks maaaate

I remember watching this live. Knew he was going to be a star straight away. The funny thing is I was living in a sharehouse in my early 20's and I do believe he was a friend of my flatmate. At the time I said to him you need to do stand up. I always wondered if it was really him. Lovely guy.

So glad he popped his 'comedian' cherry on the footy show when the show was still good . Now he's an Aussie icon . Great comedian . Legend !

carl barron is my favorite comedian EVER

Carl Barron’s jokes work well on the same crowd that love the footy show. He probably never had that many people in his audience that loved his material, but whoever spotted him and thought of putting him on the show was a genius because it was the perfect cross-section of the population that loves his jokes.

Carl still uses these jokes.

Carl is a legend!

I can't help thinking, how nice everyone in the audience looks. It may be, that there are no tattoos, and no face piercings. The audience looks so clean and healthy, I had no idea how bad people had started to look these days.
