Brummy Final Boss | Paul Smith LIVE at Hot Water Comedy Club

A pizza-cutter reference is the detail viewers keep returning to beneath Paul Smith's latest crowd-work clip. Several comments single it out for its timing; another picks out his use of the affectionate address, duck.

The Short, titled "Brummy Final Boss | Paul Smith LIVE at Hot Water Comedy Club," passed 100,000 views in its first 11 hours. That is already far beyond the Liverpool club's usual first-day audience for this format. The comment section is unusually busy, too, with dozens of replies where a typical Short draws just one.

Smith's exchanges with audience members are a familiar part of Hot Water's output, but the club also posted two different kinds of backstage material on the same date: "SLEEPOVER | Hot Water's Green Room Stories" and "IT WAS HIS "THING"?! | Hot Water's Green Room Shorts." This time, the onstage back-and-forth is drawing the larger audience.
