If you came here because of Savage......
Yep.
Wow, she made me laugh, contemplate my existence, and cry in less than 10 minutes
I thoroughly enjoyed _Savage_ . Bravo! Afterward I had half a glass of water and enjoyed an audio newspaper for a visual world.
Walter Burton Me too, good luck to you Walter!
@@eacy32 🤣🤣🤣
Came here from all of her appearances at The Bugle 🎉
Also from Alice's patreon site.
I came here because she told us to 'look it up' during her 'Savage' show. Wow... Just 'wow'... She is truly someone I could listen to for a very long time. Thank you Alice, thank you for sharing.
I did also. She is quite incredible!
Came here from The Bugle: Episode 4083.
Thanks for your funny
Why is this women not famous yet? awesome!
Because she is not funny, its that simple. will soon be forgotten as a failure.
Too late! She is famous! :D
@@wxyzxdll What time is your next successful preformance run at the worlds biggest arts festival?
@@LayneBenofsky Not really. Ive never heard of her, and no one in my circle has either.
@@liamhughes1532 I dont have "preformances," whatever they are.
Her daily podcast is essential
She has well thought out joke material, but she's dead pan serious here which does feel so different after listening to her podcast, cuz I'm positive I'm in love with her giggle.
There's so much free comedy out there, but I can't think of anyone else that embodies joy quite that way.
A podcast? I’m there!
HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS PERSON
Australia should probably revoke Alice's passport...so she is forced to work in the UK where I can see her live shows :-) Best Bugle co-host ever. Yeah, ever.
A person is a person no matter how much they have lost mentally or physically.
I just saw the last part of savage and bawled my eyes out. So here I am. Wow she is amazing, funny and very intelligent.
I so enjoyed her , and that is why I came to ok her up here!
Look her up not ok her here.
Wow, just found this. Wow. Bravo.
There was drama in there with the missing video up front and you capably working through that to (some minutes later) really grab them and hold them.
Makes me want to go on SS and do open mics for the rest of my life. (So thanks.)
Fabulous sense of humor!!!
Alice looks like all the Minoan Goddess figures in Minoan paintings and sculpture!!!
dreamcrone Yes, she is beautiful.
Came here from Richard Herring's RHLSTP ! 😁👍
Brought to you by half a glass of water.
