Can anyone picture Ant doing stand up?

I think he's just as funny as any of the A lister comics, but I can't picture him doing stand up. Maybe cause he's so self conscious.

"What's the deal with black people? They're technically not black and they're certainly not people."

Imagining that in Seinfeld voice made me laugh my ass off.

He has the hair for it.

I don't have to picture it, I have a picture of it. He was hosting the "midnight surprise show" at Just for Laughs, in Montreal, in 2013. He was dropping some lines and intro-ing Colin Quinn, Jimmy Carr, Marc Maron, Bob Kelly & Jim Norton. Imgur

He was OK, not great, paling in comparison to those on the bill. ...Opie left town early to go to his beach house

Didn't he take some shots at Opie for leaving early?

Ant's hilarious, but not in a stand-up way. He's quick witted and best at just organic riffing with other funny folk.

He was a faggot for playing with dolls. You think a life on stage was in his cards?

Self-conscious? This is a man who uploads videos of himself doing shitfaced karaoke, alone, in his basement. I don't think stage fright or shyness are issues. Ant probably realizes how difficult it is and how much work it takes to be any good at stand-up, and has said, "fuck that".

He's been singing for years and is good at it. And he has to be shitfaced to do THAT. Stand up is a whole different animal. I think Ant is best at non written, organic riffing with people. He's so quick and 99% of the time his comments are hilarious.

nope

If Ant had tried stand up instead of radio it probably would of been very Stephen Lynch-esque.

I think Ant would be more at home with improve - can't imagine him going to UCB --- I'm more, surprised he doesn't do voice work

tss yeah and then he falls over dead cuz he's a fuckin alcoholic!

Take us out you beached whale cocksuckah!

Jesus Christ, Chip!

Oh relax other Chip.

Tss how kan I relax wen I ain't even laxed wunce tss i dont no just riffin

Hahaha, you serious, nigga?! Unless he can do a Maria Bamford-esque stand-up routine in his house, then no. Anthony is a really lasy mother fucker. He would never ever have the drive, determination or work ethic necessary to get anywhere in stand up.
