A woman tells Paul Smith she discovered she was pregnant just days earlier. His follow-up questions turn the conversation into an increasingly confused exercise in dates, before she supplies the detail that really catches him out: this is her third child.
The Hot Water Comedy Club clip reached roughly 55,000 views in ten hours, putting it well ahead of the channel's usual Shorts start. It is a brief live stand-up exchange, built around Smith asking questions and making material out of the answers rather than delivering a prepared story.
When the woman estimates how far along she is, Smith presses her on the timing and brings her partner into the conversation. Her previous experience of parenthood supplies the final joke, and the reason for the title, "You'd Think You Would Know What You're Doing | Paul Smith LIVE at Hot Water Comedy Club".
It follows another busy front-row encounter: the club's "ITS-A ME, MARIO | Paul Smith LIVE at Hot Water Comedy Club", whose name-based exchange we covered here, is still drawing views.
