Double Donna | Paul Smith LIVE at Hot Water Comedy Club

Paul Smith promises to leave the obvious joke alone. An audience member has just told him her name is Donna, and he says: "I'll avoid the obvious kebab joke."

Her job gives him another direction entirely. Donna does spray tanning, prompting Smith to ask how the process works for men, particularly the parts that might not get an even coating. His questions become an explicit, acted-out scenario about intimate tan lines. This is crowd work firmly for adults.

The exchange appears in "Double Donna | Paul Smith LIVE at Hot Water Comedy Club", which has drawn about 55,000 views in ten hours. The club's usual Short draws around 5,000 across its full first day.

Then Smith turns to the woman sitting beside Donna and asks her name. The answer explains the title, and his attempt to steer clear of kebab material becomes harder to sustain.

Among the comments, viewers return to the practical question beneath the routine: one still wants the answer, while another picks up on the different expressions used during Smith's increasingly detailed inquiry.
