For reference this isn't 'the actual breakdown video'. The video youre looking for never really happened.
This is what the breakdown scene represented.
Yes because the series showed he did several shows after the actual brake down happened..
@@shanicedouglas2645there has never been an ACTUAL breakdown on stage buddy.
Thank you!
He’s a lier no feelings for no one
@@Rose78Bud ok Martha
He’s actually a lot funnier than the TV show gives him credit for
because it’s showing how HE views his comedy- amazing right?
He was the writer, director and actor. This is how he viewed himself.
You mean than he gives himself credit for lol
In serial we see how HE FEEL HIMSELF in life, comedy and this part of life
Nah he has extremely clever humor written into the show. I knew immediately
Now we are stalking him😭
RIGHT
Yeah. Why? 😭. We're becoming Martha.

😂😭
No one is talking about him being groomed… hate that people think it’s about a stalker. It’s about RAPE!
Facts
Yes!
And how that truama can hide and creep up on us later in life. When we think we're freaking out over a recent issue and it's really about a deeper unresolved truama we thought we could just ignore and pretend we're fine about.
Life is crazy really good show.
isnt it both?
dont play trauma olympics
The difference between how people were actually reacting to him vs his own depiction and perception of it that he shows in Baby Reindeer is so heartbreaking, so real, so relatable. Just, wow.
Yeah, he dramatized it a bit for the sake of the show.
Nothing wrong with that
How is it relatable
@@theo-cg9zu No, in the show it was portrayed as a spontaneous breakdown. in real life, it’s clear this was written out and planned.
Of course he’s going to adapt the story for a TV audience. All good writers do that. “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, kid.”
im pretty sure this was not his actual mental breakdown that was reenacted on the final act of the show. This was nowhere related to that
Yeah I was expecting him to be much more awkward and nerdy, but he did work as a bartender
This is not a breakdown. It’s a realisation. Be strong brother you’re not alone
It’s you’re

I really wonder if this is the original breakdown or if he turned this into a routine after the original breakdown. 6 years later, he says... and he seems to have processed a lot of the grief. It would make sense he would add it in to his routine in some instances
He managed to implement comedy in it, he’s REAL good
I have to wonder if when he wrote Donny's monologue in the show if he thought he should add comedy in with it but decided against it
Someone could you say me that say him?

It is exactly what I've been feeling but i didn't know how to explain this feeling
alright calm down it’s not that insightful
the fact this is 100% real blows my mind
The fact that it isnt the breakdown video! The breakdown from the show never really happened. It represents this show monkey see monkey do.

Thats good, this means you were not exposed to brutal harsh reality which life can be. Keep it that way, and raise your children so that hopefully they will be mind blowned by even less extreme life than this.
The more i find out about our world, our species, i am being more and more blowned away by the fact that humans today are still killing each other instead of collaborating as a planet!!!
The way he speaks is like poetry. I’m overwhelmed with emotion from how fucking brave he is❤
Right?! He's extremely eloquent. The fact that he was so honest about this terrifying incident makes me feel courage as a survivor. I hope Richard is healing as best as he can.
@@Missjunebugfreak yes and same here. I bury my trauma but he actually spoke about his. You can tell he has a big heart too just from the way he speaks about Martha even with all she put him through.
Yes! It’s funny you mention it; while watching I actually thought he’d transition from being a comedian to being a poet, he’s very eloquent.
Calm down martha
@@ArDarbx7 stoppppp😂😂💀
This monologue makes so much more sense than the one in the show, it’s raw, bitter and funny.
To me it was the more intense, theatrical moment in his head of finally telling people what happened to him. Just like people how actually did find him funny but in the show he wasn't depicted that way. It shows just how big of a moment it really was for him and he wanted to make it more on the nose with the crying etc for the audience to understand that
Well there we are then because this isn’t a real video of the actual footage because it doesn’t exist and it never happened. So how’s those “raw theatrical” feelings you got there
@@kidmanierTheir point did stands. If he did have his huge freak out in real life, the show depicts what it would’ve been like based on where he was at that point and his recollection of those times.
@@spectator4929 there’s no past tense needed. They said “THIS monologue makes more sense than the one in the film” but THIS monologue is one take from the one in the film
@@spectator4929 what you’re saying is completely different. You’re just giving an opinion which is fair. I’m sure the real thing was more raw than the fake one?

Omg 😭😭
You can tell how tense everyone is. They are looking for any moment to laugh to break the tension
Doesn't seem like a mental breakdown. Seems like a genuine, authentic self-disclosure that can help and encourage so many people. I wish people who doubt and dislike themselves so much could realize how good they are, how valuable they are, and how many of us would be so honored to have them as a friend. Watching the Netflix series, and this video, I deeply like this person and wish him the absolute best this life has to offer.
obviously..the show dramatized it you absolute melon
they did it for story, it was not a documentary it was a film where the story is more important than the truth, it was his art and maybe thats what it felt like to him so he made it look like that.
He didn’t actually have a breakdown in real life. This was a scripted part of his show Monkey See, Monkey Do.
Hollywood loves to dramatise
@@JJ-pj2kz The show isn’t Hollywood and it’s meant to be semi-fictional. He literally wrote the screenplay himself.
He's such a captivating performer. The way he's able to talk about this subject while injecting humor into it but also being heartbreaking is unbelievable.
Here after watching series! Damn this guy is brave for putting his story in front of world .
I went through something very similar- it was so hard to watch the show and i dissociated the whole day when I watched the rape episode but it hit it right on the mark with everything - it was what I went through what I felt - it was so real

@@FluentlyFletch thank you, i felt sick the whole day but I’m okay.
@@bleh3039 Good. You got this
That's the most calm and collected meltdown I've ever seen. The tv show didn't do this man justice, even though he wrote and starred in it . I'm glad i looked it up.
Tbh I prefer this depiction a lot more. I think he TV series focused in he cinema a bit too much.
@@beepbopboop7727TV and Cinema is different to stage acting and performing.
Because this is the stage show he was doing long before Netflix approached to make it a series. The stage shows are what inspired the breakdown on the show
I really wonder if this is the original breakdown or if he turned this into a routine after the priginal breakdown. 6 years later, he says... and he seems to have processed a lot of the grief.
He's a brilliant comedian and storyteller. I'd love to see him in a live performance, especially after Baby Reindeer.
I'm gutted to have never seen the original Monkey See, Monkey Do or the original Baby Reindeer show, especially considering I have family in Edinburgh and could have easily popped over there for the Fringe at the time (if I'd known about these shows).
@@stevezpjthere was no 'original baby reindeer show'. That's the name his stalker used for him, which came after he did Edinburgh fringe.
@@sharfalor4244 so all these people hallucinated a show back in 2019? czcams.com/video/ks6dFzGrpz4/video.html
@@sharfalor4244he did a live show called baby reindeer before the screen adaptation
@@sharfalor4244 The Netflix show is literally based on his one-man show "Baby Reindeer"
What an incredible, brave, authentic, complex, intelligent, talented man
You must be easily entertained.
I heard he's working at a bar in North London, you should pay him a visit sometime.
The way he is able to interject comedy into this storytelling ( about such an awful experience) just shows how good a comedian he actually is
I was thinking it showed how trauma has caused him to be detached enough to make comedy out of his experience but I prefer your take on it 😢
@@morgan.bullockyes I think you’re right, the entire premise of the show was now trauma affects you for life, even into the next generation, but it can likewise can be transmuted into art.
He had some absolutely hilarious lines in that movie when he wasn’t up on stage, like really, really funny. Considering he wrote the entire script, he is seriously talented in more than one aspect.
there’s something so meta about watching this after watching the show. What an incredibly complex psychological story to retell.
This story means a lot to those that are struggling with ptsd or post trauma symptoms.
This show triggered the fuck out of me but it was probably one of the raw depictions of ptsd and sexual trauma that I have ever seen. It was healing to see and makes me believe that some day I can over come mine as well.
Thank you Richard for turning your pain & shame into art. It was so refreshing to hear a man being honest and vulnerable in this way.
It set you free along with so many other people struggling.
We don’t talk enough about men who have been sexually assaulted and it’s important that we do.
“And all I needed to achieve it was to be honest with myself”. The most important line in the show.
the way that he depicted it in baby reindeer really shows the self hatred he was talking about during the reenacted version of this because this video he combines comedy into this story which is an incredible talent and it seems as though people seemed to enjoy it
That's because this is not the breakdown that originally happened this is him doing a play several years after the fact.
This was a lot better than how it went down on the show. Considering he wrote the show it’s refreshing to see someone write their own character and actually downplay themselves. Usually when someone writes their own character they’re smart, strong and funny etc. (good will hunting for example)
is goodwill hunting really an autobiography (or trying to be one)?
There’s something I totally admire about this man. So humble and a brilliant actor and a clever man at the end of the day. Pleasure watching him and wish him love and happiness.
How did this man get slept on for so long? This speech is beyond incredible. Touching, funny.
Just finished the show and balled my eyes out at the end 😭 this show is a rollercoaster
Such a beautiful man inside and out. I hope he lives a peaceful life now and his parents also

I think it’s brilliant how Gadd turned his trauma into art with this series. I’ve seen mixed reactions and many folks wonder how he could’ve possibly re-lived his trauma through acting it out, but I don’t think it’s much different (in regards to re-living past trauma) than someone writing a memoir featuring personal trauma. Or participating in TED Talks, speeches, interviews, etc.
He created something that goes beyond just sharing one’s story via words. Film and TV provokes almost all of our senses. It goes beyond just reading or hearing about another’s lived experiences; It allows us to live it with them. Much like I’m sure young Gadd was at the time of the events of the show’s re-enactments, I had no idea what was coming next and was more horrified as every episode passed. The courage it took to create something that resonates with people, despite the outlandish nature of Martha’s character and even of Gadd’s comedic journey, is immeasurable. Many comments here convey that people think Gadd was unjustly portrayed in his show, but I think his portrayal of himself reflects how he was feeling about himself during the events. It’s not rare that we see ourselves drastically differently than others do, after all.
Baby Reindeer is a beautiful and tragic work of art with which Richard Gadd has so graciously allowed us to see this part of his life through his eyes. Sharing something like this with the world, especially through film, is outrageously brave. I am just in awe of his courage and I hope this project has propelled his healing journey even further along. Well done.
THE LAUGH OF MARTHA 0:05
What an incredible man. He truly is the bravest and deserves all the love he is getting right now. Sending best wishes xx
Honesty wins, this gives me so much hope in humanity.
Here a comedian makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Wow. Richard Gadd, you are something truly else.
This is actually better than the dramatised version in the show, feels way more authentic
I really wonder if this is the original breakdown or if he turned this into a routine after the priginal breakdown. 6 years later, he says... and he seems to have processed a lot of the grief.
Never resonated so much with any man before. It's like looking in a mirror. I wish I could meet him and be friends.

Was shocked how good off a actor he was if he ever pursues a career in acting I think he would go far
Amazing(ly) authentic and lovely man who went through too much. RB was gut wrenching and sad and so rough but heartful told.
I’ve literally never heard someone breakdown my life so accurately before
We're never as alone or as uniquely miserable as we sometimes feel. Other people have thought and felt the same shame, fear, and darkness you've thought and felt. For some reason, finding that out was the most comforting thing I could've discovered when going through a particularly horrible time. Life is all about reaching out and finding the people we can commiserate with, so we weather out the storm together.
This guy is way funnier than the show made it seem he was.
Dude he wrote the show. No one made him look any way. He portrayed it how he felt
Just finished the series. I had never heard of Dunn before but I'm so impressed by him. A really affecting show, one of the best and most thrilling things I've watched in a long time. He's very talented.
Sorry Gadd not Dunn ***
Stuff that so many people experience but not many talk about. $hit needed to be said. So well spoken.
He did an absolute great job with the series. The first couple episodes were interesting but turns so dark so quickly. Bless him.
It’s actually him. I didn’t know that.
RIGHT!?! Woah this series was unexpected. Happy for him that he came out of this on the end, enough to tell his story.
@@jamesdoherty1372probably one of the most interesting series I've seen in a while

Right!!! Amazing
Same. I feel like I have to watch it again now that I know.
Netflix brought me here. Made a link since people are searching for this on his other videos.
Thanks, Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🏽🍻
netflix linked this???
No this guy is Bragging about sharing the video for some reason like he thinks he's a saint@@uldeanse
You need to mention to all these pther people searching that the 'breakdown video' doesnt actually exicst because it never actually happened.
The breakdown scene from the show represents this clip from his show monkey see monkey do.
Love this man, pure talent and rawness right there 🤗
I wonder how true to life the show was. The Netflix version of this was overdramatized but well written and acted.
From what im seeing he is the real Donny Dunn
He definitely is - that is the comedian, and the comedian played and wrote the show.
To put in perspective, all of the emails shown were emails the real “Martha” sent to him
It's pretty close. He received over 350 hours of voicemails from her, 105 pages of letters and 41,000 emails.
Amigo, esse não é o surto dele não. Esse vídeo veio dps
I’m so amazed … carry on spreading truth, empowerment of emotions and love of self! … thankyou for this honesty
I needed to hear this. Plus, comedy and utterly serious topics are the best mix. Thank you Gadd, for putting yourself out there and telling your story. We are many people feeling less alone because of you.
I watched your series! Brilliant!! I want to be your friend ,not stalk you! Your very brave putting all of that out in the show. I wish you peace! God bless you!
This is good to see what he based it off of and you could tell he was sincere even though putting in jokes. This is very Ceppell like.
he is the strongest person ive ever seen.
This is a showdown of his real incredible breakdown. So brave.
This wasn't a breakdown, thisnwas a show called monkey see monkey do
having to live through all of that trauma again, donnys a hero
The message he is giving in this video is speak your problems out loud so the enemy doesn’t keep you in your own mind where he can attack you and he will win everytime.
This scene in the movie i's so touching specially when he said all he needs to do is to love herself. Instead on focusing on hating on his failures and mistakes. 😢
Same thing happened to my flatmate when I first moved to London. Heartbreaking. Not to mention his girlfriend, who also lived with us, was a drugged out child of famous people nightmare of a human. Thanks for sharing ❤️

3:26 - 3:47 JESUS. HE KILLED ME with those lines. It's true.
Just watched the show over the weekend and it was very interesting. It's really crazy to think that 'Martha' inadvertently saved his life because the incident forced him to face and conquer his demons. Before Martha he seemingly accepted his fate as a washed up comedian that was kind of just floating through life as another victim of trauma. He became stronger because of it. It created stronger bonds with his mom and dad as well.
He actually got good at comedy. He had his pauses down, and everything
2:00 is that Martha laugh?
Finally the actual video!!!
💯
It's not the video. This was written and part of his show
@@rexrexfordits obvious this is the show that he was referencing in baby reindeer
@@sour6928 I thought so too but this is the actor Richard, not Dunny. :(
It's the same person, The actor acts as himself in the Netflix series
So many wise words.
I'm sorry this happened to you and you're right. It's HIS FAULT. I hope he gets what he deserves. You just keep being you. You're awesome.
Make up your mind
It’s his fault. He makes bad decision after bad decision and blames everyone BUT himself.
@@alexc3155 czcams.com/video/Lio_UWu3BOI/video.htmlm10s
@@alexc3155its a trauma response. Its not as easy as “just stopping”
I didn’t argue anything about stopping - I said any potential “trauma” is a result of his bad decisions. Everyone around him persistently tells him that he appears to enjoy the mayhem in his life, and he himself agrees (for example that he enjoys Martha being in his life as she sees him the way he wants to be seen, even though he admits she’s dangerous) - that’s HIS decision. He also ironically claims he wishes it could be him who has ruined his own life, totally oblivious that it’s his actions that put him there.
I'm so sorry u had to go through this... man or women it was never your fault... ❤❤❤
Its so much better than he realized tho its not the "comedy" he was trying to do. Im so glad he told his story.
I believe this is from a play he performed about the baby reindeer story prior to the Netflix show
You know how they say "if you don't learn a lesson, it'll keep repeating itself" by this I truly believe that the reason all the bullshit kept happening to him, is because he had to learn to stand up for himself and speak out about the shit that happened to him. Now that he did, he has gotten everything he was so desperate for! Hopefully he learns to love himself better❤
Powerful
He got to the fame in ways he could never imagine, authentically
He looks good with that mustache.

This poor man.
all i keep thinking about how well spoken and brave this man is. i also wish more women would speak out this way
There's a saying that "comedy is tragedy plus time." It suggests that many comedians use humor as a coping mechanism to deal with their own personal struggles or hardships. So, while they may appear jovial and entertaining on stage, they may also carry a lot of sadness or pain when they're not performing. It's the irony of finding laughter in the midst of sorrow.
Am I the only one to think vulnerability is freaking sexy
huh
That's what an abuser would say
this is strange to write about someone who is talking about being sexually assaulted
Yes. Yes you are
I just watched the show binged it all today and omg the way I bawled my eyes out at the end… fucking hell watching him having a panicked attack after talking to his rapist was so fucking hard to watch.. seeing himself in that bartender and seeing himself in Martha, the talk with his parents and how supportive they were made me cry so much too.. I just kept crying and crying. The whole monologue scene was so hard and cringe to watch but also so relatable and real…
He really channeled his art into a cathartic experience to cope with everything that has happened to him. I hate that some people are scruitinising everything he has ever done and whether he's a "good enough" victim just because the real Martha came out of the woodworks...
I hope this was cathartic for him in these early days
I recently went through rough things in my life, cancer, mom died, got divorced to name a few... going thorugh it and the aftermath have been the most difficult couple of years of my life but comedy, making it funny takes off some of the pain i guess because I've told my story to a few people and I tell it as a comedy routine. I dunno it's such a weird paradox
Are you me? 😢
