Rory Scovel - Live Without Fear (2021)
Комедия
Since his earliest performances in 2004, comedian Rory Scovel has always made every attempt to incorporate improvised elements into his stand-up sets. In March of 2018, he decided to find out what would happen if he fully improvised the show from start to finish for six straight nights. Set at Relapse Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, this documentary directorial debut for Scott Moran showcases the highs and lows of a comedian putting himself through an intense test of spontaneous humor for six different shows.
ALBUM: Live Without Fear the audio album is available everywhere right now.

This should have 10 million views. He’s literally one of the best comics to ever get on a stage

millions will cause it to become overrated, perhaps lose its magic, over saturated, overplayed damn it! That what happens to magical songs, once it spreads on TikTok or gets 10 millions, the magic gets sucked out of it.

Hats off to: - Rory for embracing improv in standup - Bob for being so determined and passionate - and Scott for editing such a perfectly told docu-special. This came out incredible!

I agree he’s my favourite comic by far. All the Rogan brats should get out a pen and a pad and take notes.
Relapse is still open, go leave a 5***** star review on for Bob being a lunatic with a beautiful dream
I love how this is both a comedy special and a documentary about a badass with a dream and nothing to lose

I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. LIKE the video for god's sake. God bless the Relapse Theatre.
Rory is a true student of comedy. He’s like an unbeatable escape artist with every trick in existence up his sleeve. Creating his own new challenges and obstacles to keep the game fresh and constantly hone his craft - German Guy, glad-handed southern dude, etc.
Fucking Art! Rory, Bob, Scott!!!

Bob’s story made this video even more interesting, what an incredible back story for a venue and an incredible performance by Rory. I think Mark Normand described it perfectly, it felt like he was hanging around with his friends just trying to make each other laugh.
Watching this at the lowest point in my life. I’ll be back when I’m where I need to be :). Thanks, Bob + Rory

Rory is just the definition of positive energy! Mark Normand put it well when he described it like "being drunk/high and killing with your friends." It felt more like shit shooting between friends, than viewing a rehearsed performance and it has changed how i'll view comedy specials! Appreciate you!
Yo my mental health has improved in anticipation of this.

Rory, you're an inspiration Bob, you're an inspiration Y'all giving me courage to write more/riff more/build more.
I think he is quite possibly the best comedian in the world. There is not another comedian like him.
This and Bo's Inside have been the coin for 2020-2021. As someone lucky enough that I could stay inside quarantined the whole time, they both hit hard. Bo's is how I felt and Rory's is that feeling of getting out for the first time and bursting with energy.
This was one of the best comedy specials I have seen. Rory is a genius and the parallel story of Bob's persistence and faith is magic.
Now we know Rory is the type of person who says flicked off and not flipped off.

Rory Scovel Tries Standup For The First Time is one of my favorite specials that I can rewatch over & over, so finding out about this was so exciting! These shows seemed so fun & I hope to one day be able to see Rory perform in person. The story about Relapse was incredible. It seems like a really cool venue that I would love to be able to visit if I’m ever in Atlanta (& it’s still open). That’s another thing I love about comedy specials like this where the venue is integral to the performance - we as the audience learn what venues performers love to perform in & what makes them so special. Anyway, great work by everyone involved & thank you for getting this out there.

Thanks, Conan, for bridging the gap between the 90s and 2020s by showing me comedians are still willing to explore the depths of the comedy well. Tremendous talent, Rory! I'll likely add you to the list of comedians in the lexicon under "Most Talented." Conan and I both probably care about you crafting your art. :)

One of my favourite comics by far and insanely underrated!
Rory is an amazing comic. Brilliant
17:33 I rewinded this scream about ten times crying with laughter.
I loved seeing his learning process and that we got to learn with him. You can tell he very much figured it out towards the end. Beautiful stuff Rory!
I saw many great comedians, Mr. Scovel seems to enjoy himself more than any other. This is amazing!!!!
This is stunning. I laughed too hard. Very excited for everything you're dropping!
I know it’s unfair to ask an artist to make more excellent content because making excellent content is really hard. And yet… Thanks Rory for doing what you do. Can’t wait for whatever comes next!! And the whole team that did this special, y’all really did this. Hope you’re all incredibly proud. It’s my absolute favorite. 🥰
I can’t wait to watch this every day for the next week and a half. You’re my favorite, Rory. This is really so well done it’s no shock, but 👏really bravo .
Thanks for doing this rory, I've been writing comedy for over ten years and keep putting off going back to stand up. You inspired me with this piece... I'm a huge fan
This was a brilliant special! I loved this so much! Thank you!!
Great special Rory! Thanks to everyone involved in putting it together! You’re my favorite!!

Awesome job! Beautifully filmed. A real pleasure to watch, fantastic job by the whole crew. Thanks so much for this!
