Paul Smith finds a left-right problem in a front-row tattoo

A sentimental message and a blue wolf give the comedian plenty to work with in Hot Water Comedy Club's fast-starting Short.

Tattoo | Paul Smith LIVE at Hot Water Comedy Club

"Is that on your right leg?" Paul Smith asks, having leaned forward to read a front-row guest's tattoo. The wording says to listen to your heart: it may be on your left side, but it's always right. Smith immediately finds something to question about the placement.

The exchange in "Tattoo | Paul Smith LIVE at Hot Water Comedy Club" has drawn roughly 43,000 views in ten hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. It follows the girl-band crowd-work clip we reported here, but this time Smith needs only a tattoo and a follow-up question to get going.

His proposed fix for the left-right confusion is simple: look at it in the mirror. Then he spots another tattoo, a blue wolf on the woman's thigh, and asks about the color.

That sends the routine into a much more explicit roast. The woman and the crowd laugh, while Smith starts laughing himself and quickly retreats: "Oh, and it's gone too far already."
