The bottle keeps hissing. In Josh Johnson's Vancouver set, a comedian friend buys beet kombucha at a gas station, then tries opening it while steering with his elbow. Johnson, who doesn't drive, is left to contemplate both the beverage and his transportation options.
That extended road-trip story gives "Elon is as Fake as His Flying Car" a second comic engine beyond its headline subject. Recorded at the Vogue Theatre, the performance moves from Johnson's skepticism about flying cars into his own automotive limitations, then lets an ill-chosen drink occupy an increasingly unreasonable amount of the evening. The hotel-room aftermath becomes a storytelling set piece of its own.
The upload has reached roughly 1.5 million views, making it the most watched of Johnson's two releases this week. "The next White House press secretary" was the other arrival. Right now, though, the previous week's "His Racism Is Confusing" is drawing almost exactly as much daily viewing as the Vancouver performance. "What A Week For Kelly and Katie," recorded in Milwaukee, also remains among his busiest videos.
Johnson added about 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently running well below his usual pace. Among nearby stand-up channels, Jimmy Carr had a particularly large week, while Dry Bar Comedy was quieter. Johnson's weekly view gain sat near the top of that group, with a long-form set that finds room for both a billionaire and a bottle that won't behave.
