Are You Scared Of Gay People | Troy Bond Stand Up

Troy Bond put up a single video this week, and its comment section did more talking than most. "Are You Scared Of Gay People | Troy Bond Stand Up" went up on September 27 and drew about 29,000 views on its first day. The description links it to Secret Identity, his comic book podcast, and points viewers to his other show, BONDING.

The comments circle a few moments. Many viewers are looking for Maya, a name that keeps coming up with real affection. Others noticed that Troy greeted the man who introduced him with a hug instead of a handshake. A few say the set landed harder emotionally than they expected.

The channel's busiest video right now is not the new one. "Geology," posted 34 days ago, is still drawing a little more each day, and "Taming Drunk Heckler" from nine days back sits third.

Overall the channel ran at about half its usual daily pace, and the subscriber count held at 1.06 million. Among stand-up channels near his size, this was a quieter stretch, while Gianmarco Soresi and Matteo Lane had big weeks.
