Rafe Williams | Young Grandpa (Full Stand Up Comedy Special)
Комедия
Comedian Rafe Williams brings his trademark plain-spoken style and magnetic energy as he explores his unexpected journey of becoming a grandfather at 36 years old, relationships, gross societal norms, bucket lists, miracles at Renaissance Faires and the junk science of sleep apnea.
Through the lens of his original point-of-view, he tackles topics with honesty, wit, and blue collar sensibility. The audience is disarmed by Rafe’s vulnerable and engaging storytelling and captivated by his relentless charisma. His refreshing, folksy approach and dynamic style make for an unforgettable comedic experience
He breathes life into characters that pull you into his world, and has a likability that keeps you laughing regardless of the subject matter, as he tackles topics with honesty, wit, and street smart sensibility.

WHAT?? how did I not hear about Rafe before this. He is so funny! I nearly peed my pants. Thanks for sharing this with us, Chelcielynn!
Rafe, you have me funny crying which is different from my typical overwhelmed social worker crying I do most Thursday mornings. You are BRILLANT!
Rafe is helping the whole crew take over the 🌎 ❤
Watched this last night with the GF. We both had perma smiles from laughing, and you inspired us to see a Ren Fair. Great job Rafe and you're such a good addition on the morning radio.
I am soooo happy I get to hear Rafe every morning on 105.7 the Point in St. Louis, Mo, my hometown. He is just as amazing on the radio as he is doing his stand up.
OK. Settled in and watching on the big screen. This is your year.
I'm so stupid excited, I love a dang ol' RAFE WILLIAMS MAAAAN!!! Literally scheduled in so I don't miss it.
Great job. We need more comedians with sleep apnea.
Rafe is my favorite on the Rizz show! He tells hilarious stories! Glad you posted this, thanks!
“A handful of people say f&@$ it and come as a star wars character” 😂
This is up there with some of the best specials of the year. No dull moments consistently funny thru out
Chelcie, Rafe, everyone who plays a part - thank you for this! I needed it. Definitely was excited to partake in the live chat with everyone!!! ❤❤
"I'm too fat to fall from the sky" lol
He’s a HOOT!!! 😂😂
So proud of you Rafe!! Can’t wait to hear you talk about it on the show tomorrow!!🫶🏼

I live in Alabama. My BFF is British and teaches English in Spain. Today he sent me a post from his friends Twitter profile. People in Britain are mad as hell at Rodney and he wanted to know if I could find out if Tammy had found him 🤔 I watched the clip, realized that it was Chelcie and I explained all of that to all of the British people on that thread. I shared Rafes show with them. Britain is watching. You are hilarious Rafe!! My Daughter made me a Grandma at the age of 42, when I was still hot. 😢😂😂
This was excellent! I hope we get to see more of him. Very understated.
This is one of the best specials I have a seen in a long time! Great job! You did the St. Louis, Southern Illinois, the pork steak army and fighting Johnnies proud!!
Thanks for promoting Rafe. One of Southern Illinois' greatest. Hilarious!
