Poor Dean, he wasn't even trolling, guy just drove a whole hour for nothing and wrote a reasonable tweet💀

the microexpressions as dean realises to what extent he's been completely set up are absolutely phenomenal

It’s actually quite a nice gesture. Dean was clearly a disgruntled fan who missed one of his shows. What he posted wasn’t even that bad. He probably offered him a free ticket to this show on a front row seat to make that right!

This is what introverts and people with social anxiety call a nightmare situation.

“Isn’t that right dean?” “I know who you fuckin are mate” Took me tf out.

A brilliant bit-- and the look on Dean's face as the realization is setting in is absolutely classic. You can practically see his heart sinking straight through the floor.

"what's that in the pudding? tastes like proof" fantastic

I remember when some comedian did this bit in a college set in ~2009, but she made the mistake of researching like half the audience, was doing bits on everyone, and it started to go pretty poorly as students realized, maybe for the first time, how easy it was to find them all on FB and how they came off in sm. Great lesson, but the set tanked obviously as none of the audience was in a laughing mood after that, they couldn't move on from being creeped out. Rhys looks like he's calibrated more cleverly on this routine, nobody is really surprised you can find them online, but the audience mood obviously stays a lot more positive if you only actually share one person's media explicitly.

I can entirely believe that this man saw Dean's tweet and decided that this was gonna be his entire bit he even sent him a free ticket to get him to come to the show just so he can do this whole bit

Fucking perfect! He set that up beautifully by starting out with something random and going full circle back to it while telling multiple stories in between and while giving the false impression he didn't know the one "random" guy in the front row😂😂

If this doesn't get Rhys on Taskmaster, I don't know what will. Brilliant set!

The reveal of the three P's was incredible

Fun Fact: Online stalking is completely legal as it's all publicaly out there

I've watched this so many times and it's still amazing

Really nice to see Beavis has sorted his life out and can afford front row seats.

Dean's look at the very end says he was wondering how the hell he did that as well, lol.

Genius level setup work for this bit.

2,5 minutes in while never having heard of this guy before and I’m subscribed to his channel! He’s THAT funny!

The 3 Ps are VITAL is one of the finest jokes I've ever heard/seen. BRILLIANT.

"What's that in the pudding? Tastes like proof." IMA STEAL THAT ONE LMAOOOO Wow, this is just fantastic work and hilarious as well! Love the movements and facial expressions! Really gives it more energy and meaning! Makes it funnier too!

this is some "Now you see me" stuff and i love it

Brilliant ending.

Every time this comes up in my feed I watch and laugh out loud. With this Rhys tops Jimmy Carr in the audience participation category. Hope losing Mock of the week doesn't cut back on the Rhys clips. We need a laugh here in the states.

This is the greatest response because he gave dean the best show possible

That delivery was perfect! So nice I had to watch it twice

Bro literally got doxxed on stage.

That man saw his whole life flashing before his eyes

That was perhaps one of the most brilliant pieces I have ever seen!!!

Came across this via reddit. You set this up so well. I've shared it.

This is even greater when you watch it back and realise everything he says about stalking people "is their Grandad still alive" etc is actually all about Dean. Plus the names he guesses initially arent too far off.

Dean …. You looked shit scared 😈

watched this last year and now that amnesia has done its work i can watch again!

That was just Brilliant! Cheers from Brazil mate

I so, so miss you and the rest of the regulars from Mock the Week. Good to get a dose of your talent here :)

Ok on one hand this is kinda funny, on the other hand, if I got fucking doxxed for being miffed about missing a show I paid money for I would genuinely have a full on panick attack and never leave my house ever again. That shit would genuinely fuck me up so bad.

Brilliant. Even if it was staged it was still hilarious

This is objectively hilarious and soooooo absurd. I love it 😂😂😂

Was that Sally Phillips reaching into Huge Davies box of popcorn?

Rhys is always funny, Mock the week bits are just 😂

One of the best things I've ever seen

Haha I love this Brilliant video Rhys!

You built a standup bit around the German show “lass dich überwachen” and it's awesome!

Honestly, this might be the cleverest set I've witnessed. Wow, I love this level of craftsmanship. INTENET. Give this man a plaque of accomplishment.

Fucking hell this is genius. The long play bit to end all long play bits

Brilliant presentation. You have one more fan Rhys. Your latest subscriber 🙏

How did he get Dean? If he's an actor then he's great cause the reactions were so natural.

Oh god Dean Bygate went to my school... I'll be watching my digital footprint from now on

Looooove it!!! The genius part is sublime!

LMFAO probably the best stand up comedy i've ever seen

the three P's WERE vital!

Imagine criticising someone, only to one day meet them and realise you've been lured into a place where they wanted you to be 🥶💀

dude, this is awesome!!

Imagine a movie like this, but the comedian accidentally discovered a crime, and this is a set up and the punchline is the guy getting arrested after the comedian start to unravel the threads to the audience. I feel like there's probably something close already, best I can think of is Now You See Me

This kid definitely belongs in comedy.

Got me laughing out loud in 3 and a half minutes! Damn good stuff!

Sooo, so good!

This was... very entertaining. And left me hanging for more about Dean.

Never seen anything like this. Absolutely brilliant comedy. Super original.

Lol I thought he looked like a Darren! Not too far off. Am enjoying my silver medal 😂

I was trying to write a new song once and tried to build one using random Facebook profiles, telling their life story. It was the most boring song I ever did.

this is genius. subbed

This is amazing.

this was brilliant

Where has this guy been? Hilarious!

this video genuinely has the best auto-generated chapters ever, and this is a standup segment. why?

0:20 "judging their shoes" has very Jon Richardson vibes for me.

"Didn't you, Dean?" was actually terrifying.

Congrats Dean! A comedian you obviously like for years has made a show about you. :-D

The genius part... yeah, you are a GENIUS!

That was awesome! 😂😂😂

Everything connects at the end.

Horrifying, clever, playful, and well that is quite some committment to put on a show for the guy, absolutely adorable.

"How do you know when you've scrolled too far?" Dude's clearly never been to Tumblr.

Wait he just fucking doxxed his home address to the internet wtf

Dude just got publicly doxxed in person in front of an entire crowd

Nice to see Sally Phillips getting out the house

What's clever about this, is that he says how someones photos can tell you a whole story backwards, while he literally does his whole bit backwards to make a point.

This was very good. 👍

Perfect timing all the way through! Lmfao

Goddamn this is like watching full house. Surely the audience is being told when to laugh.

Loved it.

I thought this was the guy that played Beast from the X-men movies.

Some of the most hilarious shit I’ve seen!

I refuse to believe this is real. Dean has to be the greatest actor of all time I was absolutely sold and I still am. It's too real. Also that was a hilarious setup with the three p's, I'm a fan of rhys now

There’s a thing called “over rehearsal” - you end up landing in the uncanny valley. Proud of the crowd regardless? Just imagine the size if you didn’t sound like you were built by the NSA.

This was the funniest Power Point Presentation I've seen. Good idea having the plant in the audience to really sell you thoughts.

“Hello Dean, I'm putting together a team...”

6' tall, devilishly good looking, sharp with and humor...who is this guy?

Holy. Shit. That was so fucking good and fresh.

Man just doxed someone live

I will never mess with this bloke

Brilliant!

The pettiness of it all 🤣🤣

He was shaking in the end

Genius ⬆️

Convinced the people in the crowd have never heard anything funny in their life.

When I say if I was in Dean's position, the way my ENTIRE heart would leap clean out my assho-

Comic Con in San Diego is the greatest people watching event *EVER.*

32k views?! Here 10 years too early before this video blows up in recommended

I love the bit where people write in comments exactly what we have all just seen in a short 6 minute video, even though we have just watched it...... priceless
