Kevin is a friend of mine, and my veterinarian, and one of the Great Guys on the planet. He is hysterical and I am SO glad to see him booked on Dry Bar. You go, Kevin.
@@ordinarryalien He seems like a great guy. It's hard to fake that kind of overall pleasant disposition. That he's also a vet lines right up. I'm surrounded by people that don't care much about human life let alone animals in one of the most corrupt unions on the planet. I wish I had people like this in my circle
One of those people that after just a few minutes of him talking you think "man, this guy would be so cool to have as a neighbor!" I love how he ended his set with the story about the nurse with a heart of gold. Very classy.
Man, you took the words right out of my mouth! Maybe do a few beers around a campfire on a cloudless, moonless, Colorado night. I imagine vets have so many stories to tell.
"These aren’t jokes, I’m just telling you stuff". Pure gold. So many years of watching comedians and how come this is the first time I hear this? You can't make this stuff up.
Omg! He was my vet when I lived in Aurora, Co! I thought he looked familiar and when I saw his name I knew it was time. He really loves animals! He would sit on the floor to interact with my dogs. Very laid back and competent veterinarian! I didn’t know he was so funny! Best wishes in all your future endeavors Dr Fitzgerald! ♥️🤗
Same! Moved from Aurora to Kansas City years ago. Took a long time to find a vet practice I liked as well as his (on Alameda, I believe). Especially kind vet when we had to say goodbye to our beloved, old Pom. Kinda sweet to see him out there doing something new, still as kind & still helping people (laugh at least). Glad to stumble on this.😊
Love this guy. When I was younger, I worked at a vet hospital, and yes, we did have a strange sense of humor. I then became a Registered Nurse and then got a really strange sense of humor.
That show is so fun.. this one too. Thanks for reminding ne of WWDM.. Did you see the one they showed in the movie theaters, a Fathom Event of NPR's Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me? I missed it.. but really wanted to go to it!
Kevin taught me pharmacology and exotic animal medicine in Vet Tech school back in the day. He used to practice his comedy routine on us during the last few minutes of class. Not only is he a great veterinarian, but he's a wonderful person!! A blessing to know him.
I once had a cat who hated veterinarians so much that his furious screeching in the exam room would terrify animals out in the waiting room. But Dr. Fitzgerald was a whole other ball game. He sat down on the floor, and my cat walked right to him and let himself be handled. Somehow he knew this was a good guy. Thanks, Doc.
I loved Dr. Kevin's comedy show! It takes a lot to make me laugh at a comedy act - and he did it! Let's hear more from him in the future. Clean humor is hard to come by these days - so refreshing!
In 1978 at pentecostal holiness church camp (yikes) we had to introduce ourselves with two things we liked. I said hi im * and i like british accents and stand up comedians. The one thing that has endured through the ages of my growth has been comedians!
Until just now (2:18 AM 12/25 2023) I never heard of Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald. I have never laughed so hard and I have seen many great stand up Artist. Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, you are the best.
When I was young, one of my favorite authors was James Herriot. I had that in common with my mom. Grew up on a farm, as well, so had plenty of our own weird and funny animal stories. Your show was awesome, clean, and I loved the vet stories. It was both funny and nostalgic for me. Thanks for posting this.
All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them high and lowly, And ordered their estate. The purple headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset and the morning, That brightens up the sky;− The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden,− He made them every one. The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, We gather every day;− He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who hath made all things well.
Oh my goodness, I am rolling on the floor! Great routine, well executed, and very funny. I love clean humor, and I enjoyed the stories incorporated into the routine. You are killing it!
Watched Doc Kevin years ago on tv. Never knew he did stand up, but it's now pretty clear he should be doing it, and I hope he continues, because hes definitely got some great jokes!
Dr. Kevin was my vet for 10 years, (25 years ago). I never saw his act before (very funny), but there was never a better man I've ever met. One time he took a young Persian kitten for the 125 bucks I owed for that kitten's treatment, and he told me once that "Max" ruled his domain for the next ten years.
He was great! Cracked me up even more that it seemed like he was tickled by his own jokes. Just seems like a genuine good dude that Id want for my vet! Love the comment at the end about the nurse 👍
chuckufarley5348, I only knew him as a veterinarian, saw him on a show about vets long ago, so tonight was a surprise. Guess he's had a lot of experience in comedy at this point from what you said, and it shows. Happy Holidays!🎄🎉
chuckufarley5348, Lol, thinking he did mention at one point about working for The Rolling Stones, but didn't mention performing comedy. He looks exactly the same all these years later, amazing.
Not one curse word .Not one crude sex joke. America needs this. Let's hope a true and good change will come in 2024, and we will move away from dark pessimism .
That's why I recently subscribed to "Dry Bar Comedy" as you can "Bring the Family" within limitations...and you Know ALL will be entertained Exceptionally Well!! As the World gets Crazier I NEED THESE Belly-laughs BIG TIME!!!😃😁🤣😂🤣🎉🎊🪅👌👌
Really enjoyed Kevin's act! Funny, sweet, great timing, jokes and delivery! Hope to see more of this comedian (and he helps save animals get well! ) what a great comic, person, and Veterinarian!
Aww, Dr. Fitzgerald from the old show 'Emergency Vets: Alameda East'. I still have an old video cassette of the show, but no VCR to play it 😂Always loved that show and him as a very compassionate vet. Glad to see him on stage, great set Kevin!
I love you!! I remember when you came to Ohio and signed a picture of you and the other Vets in the practice! God Bless! Continue your journey with joy!
I'm a decade older than Dr. Fitzgerald. Here I am, sitting on the couch, in the wee hours of the morning and see Dr. F's segment on RUclips. When he tells his, "The only time I don't need to pee" joke, that I completely relate to....I laughed so hard I almost pee'd my jammies! Keep up to good humor Dr.!
We used to watch his vet show and thought he must be hilarious in person and was clearly a phenomenal human and vet. I was so stoked to find this video! Can’t wait to see more!!! ❤
A buddy of mine once had a dog that he had had for many years. Recently, his dog just up and collapsed on the floor. Fearing the worst, he picked up the dog and drove as fast as he could to the veterinarian. He was quickly ushered into the exam room and he placed the dog on the exam table and began crying, “Doc, ya gotta save my dog! We've been friends forever and I don't know what I'd do without him!” The vet did a quick cursory examination of the dog and said to my friend, “I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's too late.” “Oh, doc!”, my friend continued blathering “Isn't there something else you can do? Some other test?” The doctor thought for a moment and said “Hold on”. He stepped out for a second and he came back in, leading a huge Labrador retriever. The lab jumped up, placing its front paws on the table, sniffed the dog, and began to howl mournfully. The doctor said, “Yes, sir, this supports my finding that it's too late.” Still not satisfied, my friend blathered, “Doc, isn't there just one more test, one more test that you could do?” The doctor said “Well, there IS one more test. Just a moment. He quickly returned, this time holding a cat, which he placed next to the dog. The cat sniffed the dog a couple times and began to meow happily. The vet said “Well, sir, both tests confirm my finding that your dog has passed away. I'm sorry.” Barely consolable, my friend says, “Okay, doc. How much do I owe you?” The vet promptly replied, “That'll be two thousand, eight hundred, and sixty two dollars.” “WHAT?!” my friend exclaimed. “Why are you charging me so much?” “Oh,” the vet replied. “I'm not. My fee is only sixty two dollars. What kills you are the lab fees and the cat scan!"
How old is this video? I took my animals to Alameda East Vet Clinic. He was head vet. Some of the stuff mentioned in his monologue are ancient history. BTW, Comedy Works in Larimer Square (DT Denver) torn down decades ago. I met Dr. Kevin when I was in my 20s. He was older than me (obviously, he had to go vet med school). This is 2023 and I am 70 years of age. Kevin was very special. Very special. BTW, he had a pet tarantula spider. Yes, he did hunt and trap poisonous snakes to extract venom for medical purposes. Yeah, Kevin, people in Aurora/Denver/Thornton, etc., remember and adored you. Peace be with you.
I noticed Kevin didn't have a wedding band on, l can't imagine somebody letting this sweet guy get away, l know if l had met him before l married, he would have a ring on now for sure!!l love his sense of humor, and that he doesn't curse.
Comedyworks in Downtown Denver is still very alive and kicking, it's considered by many of the top touring comics as the best venue to perform in the country.
Vets ALWAYS have the best stories. My local vet was attending a down cow after she calved. Internal bleeding couldn't save her, had to be put down. Farmer brings out the rifle to finish the job. Vet was finishing up gathering various tools and such while the farmer took aim. The cow lurched at the last second as the farmer pulled the trigger. The bullet ricocheted off the cows skull and hit the vet in the knee. Our fearless vet, never having been shot before, didn't think it was a big deal and finished his rounds for the day. He went to emergency that evening because "it really started to hurt" only to be lectured by an incredulous young doctor that he should have come to the hospital immediately after being shot! Our fearless vet assured the doctor that he would indeed come to the hospital immediately the next time he was shot!
Thank you Kevin ! I was having a terrible Monday morning and I saw this and said "what the heck. It can't hurt", I was happily surprised and I realized I had seen this before, but I had to watch it all again! It was very funny and did my heart good ! A million Thanks !!!
I think every woman with a pet does! He's handsome, personable, funny & brilliant. I remember him from a TV show re: the veterinary practice he's with. I sent this to a friend who's doing stand up comedy after retiring and he found this very relatable & funny. Very kewl vet!
Dr. Fitzgerald shops in the grocery store where I work. He is on local TV now and then giving vet advice. Next time I see him I'll have to tell this nice quiet guy I caught his act.
Laughed so hard! Especially the bit about the little dog vomiting the pig heart! I was a vet assistant for years and if you were fortunate enough to work with a Doc with a sense of humor you had the best day! Hugs and love to Dr. Stephen Thimmig!
Always good with Dry Bar. So nice to see "clean" comedy. The very last story about that weasel faced nurse...I actually have one of my own. I repaired copiers, printer, fax machines, and Dictaphones up in Eureka, CA back in 2002-2004. I crawled my way into the ER after driving myself despite the abdominal pain--thank God for that very observant ER nurse who came running out with a wheelchair--and, after an MRI and CT scan was doped up on pain meds--Hello, Morphine, my old friend!--I was told I was checking in right then and there. When a room was available at the Eureka, CA, St. Joseph's Hospital--same organization Dr. Fitzgerald mentioned--I was wheeled out on a gurney to the elevator, taken to the 3rd floor. As soon as the door open, the grizzled maybe/maybe not old war veteran grandma nurse took one look at me and recognized me (I was the tech who always fixed the fax machine at THAT nurse's station) and started grinning with this S eating grin and we locked eyes as I was wheeled from the elevator down the hall, and said: "How does it feel to be on the other end of the stick, sweetie?" I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and had to have surgery to remove 2 arms' lengths of bowels during that stay. Te night after my surgery, I had a rather cute, young nurse come check on me as I had gotten tangled in the tubes and help untangle me. She had such a soft, velvety voice that, despite being hopped up on so serious morphine, I still remember the sound of her voice and her gentle face. But, the Demon Murphy was gunning for me that night as well: a drug detox patient came through that floor that night. After literally having a sideways C-section and medically disemboweled, the noise from the banging, startling me...REALLY HURT MY MID SECTION BEYOND WHAT THE CROHN'S did. The day after, my AHole of a best friend, at the time, came to visit and insisted on making me laugh. Ahh...good times.
As someone who lives in Denver and has seen Dr Kev at more open mic nights than I can possibly remember, I'll listen to his same jokes over like 99% of the schlock younger comics are bringing to the table. Dude is an absolutely fantastic joke writer and isn't wildly out of touch with the crowd, even after all these years.
With just a few Vet Schools in the Country, it's harder to get into one than Med School. That's one smart guy who is down to earth, and that makes his comedy pure gold.
Absolutely hysterical! Love this! Great humor and talent. Love the end, since I’m a retired critical care nurse and worked a lot in surgical recovery my last few years.
Kevin is a friend of mine, and my veterinarian, and one of the Great Guys on the planet. He is hysterical and I am SO glad to see him booked on Dry Bar. You go, Kevin.
Can confirm, he's one of the great guys on the planet.
Does he ever perform in the Denver Metro area, perhaps comedy works or whatever? I have GOT to see him in person!

@@stevekombolis Most humans don't have strong moral compasses. They lack compassion. It's a sad, blue planet you live in...

Agreed 👍
"These aren’t jokes, I’m just telling you stuff". Pure gold. So many years of watching comedians and how come this is the first time I hear this? You can't make this stuff up.
Come to find out how countless comedians were doing that all along but never let us in on that. Were they doing us a favor?
I’ve seen Dr. Fitzgerald at two vet conferences; once as a performer, once as a lecturer. He was captivating in both roles. ❤
If he had been a Vet in the military would he be a VetVet?
I loved when Kevin said *These aren’t jokes, I’m just telling you stuff*. That was hilarious!!! Fantastic show!! 😂😂😂😂
Vitamins. I can attest that is true. Been taking them for a week and , honestly, color of a high vis vest.
This dude is hilarious!
Same here, and the older you're allowed to get the more stuff you have to tell!😯

I heard Dr. Fitzgerald on NPR's 'Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me' several years ago and he was an absolute hoot. I love this special...
That show is so fun.. this one too. Thanks for reminding ne of WWDM..
Did you see the one they showed in the movie theaters, a Fathom Event of NPR's Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me? I missed it.. but really wanted to go to it!
The spider story! I still think about that one! 😂😂
I used to listen to that, man I haven't listened to NPR in ages it seems. YT might be to blame?
Really great to hear a funny comedian with clean humor.
Clean humor is WHY I love DRY BAR COMEDY 😅

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them high and lowly,
And ordered their estate.
The purple headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;−
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,−
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day;−
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who hath made all things well.
Me too! I used to guffaw uncontrollably on the public transport on the way home from school, reading James Herriott. 😂
Oh my goodness, I am rolling on the floor! Great routine, well executed, and very funny. I love clean humor, and I enjoyed the stories incorporated into the routine.

Vets came too! That was before the gas was 8 bucks a gallon or 2 hours on the charger.
I agree!!
He is the cutest thing ever. ❤
Refreshing to hear good clean jokes and story's. Thanks for sharing.
Drybar Comedy has many, many great standup videos - all clean and all top quality. Their TV programs play on the Angel network.
This is probably my third time watching this. It still made me LOL 😅!
Thank you Dry Bar for offering clean comedy for the rest of us...
So nice to see him again! I used to watch him every day on "Emergency Vets" and was wondering what happened to him.
I THOUGHT I recognized him..... From Colorado correct?
Me too! Was my favorite show. Glad to see he’s doing good!
@@jamiehenderson1303yes! The vet hospital was alameada east. I only remember because it was the reason I majored in Prevet.
Thank you Kevin ! I was having a terrible Monday morning and I saw this and said "what the heck. It can't hurt", I was happily surprised and I realized I had seen this before, but I had to watch it all again! It was very funny and did my heart good ! A million Thanks !!!
I want this guy as MY vet!
Yes!
I think every woman with a pet does! He's handsome, personable, funny & brilliant. I remember him from a TV show re: the veterinary practice he's with. I sent this to a friend who's doing stand up comedy after retiring and he found this very relatable & funny. Very kewl vet!
I want him as my neighbor 😊
I would get a pet just to have him as my vet.
What breed you?
Such a sweetheart. Very clever, very funny!
This guy is fantastic! Great job, so funny! Very appreciated!
Thank you for the joy brought by the humor. Haven’t had a good chuckle since my husband passed. Many Blessings Kevin.
I enjoyed his routine. Laughed myself silly.
He is one of the best comedians I have ever heard. Love this so much.
This is such an extraordinarily nice person & a very good standup artist.
Dr. Fitzgerald shops in the grocery store where I work. He is on local TV now and then giving vet advice. Next time I see him I'll have to tell this nice quiet guy I caught his act.
Kevin has the greatest animal stories. I could listen to him for hours!
A veterinarian that kills, on stage.
Great set!
Thanks, Dry Bar for your constant stream of terrific talents.
Excellent bit of Very important clarification there with the "on stage"! 😁
What a great time.
Funny, funny.
Merry Christmas to all.
God, i LOVE funny veterinarians!
Ive read James Herriot so many times i could pull a calf.
Love this guy!
I genuinely cracked up a few times! 😂
Laughed so hard! Especially the bit about the little dog vomiting the pig heart! I was a vet assistant for years and if you were fortunate enough to work with a Doc with a sense of humor you had the best day! Hugs and love to Dr. Stephen Thimmig!
I remember meeting Kevin Fitzgerald at a Veterinary Conference in Ohio when I attended Virginia Tech. Still funny, glad to see him again 👍🏿
Go Hokies!!!
Always good with Dry Bar. So nice to see "clean" comedy. The very last story about that weasel faced nurse...I actually have one of my own. I repaired copiers, printer, fax machines, and Dictaphones up in Eureka, CA back in 2002-2004. I crawled my way into the ER after driving myself despite the abdominal pain--thank God for that very observant ER nurse who came running out with a wheelchair--and, after an MRI and CT scan was doped up on pain meds--Hello, Morphine, my old friend!--I was told I was checking in right then and there. When a room was available at the Eureka, CA, St. Joseph's Hospital--same organization Dr. Fitzgerald mentioned--I was wheeled out on a gurney to the elevator, taken to the 3rd floor. As soon as the door open, the grizzled maybe/maybe not old war veteran grandma nurse took one look at me and recognized me (I was the tech who always fixed the fax machine at THAT nurse's station) and started grinning with this S eating grin and we locked eyes as I was wheeled from the elevator down the hall, and said: "How does it feel to be on the other end of the stick, sweetie?"
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and had to have surgery to remove 2 arms' lengths of bowels during that stay. Te night after my surgery, I had a rather cute, young nurse come check on me as I had gotten tangled in the tubes and help untangle me. She had such a soft, velvety voice that, despite being hopped up on so serious morphine, I still remember the sound of her voice and her gentle face. But, the Demon Murphy was gunning for me that night as well: a drug detox patient came through that floor that night. After literally having a sideways C-section and medically disemboweled, the noise from the banging, startling me...REALLY HURT MY MID SECTION BEYOND WHAT THE CROHN'S did.
The day after, my AHole of a best friend, at the time, came to visit and insisted on making me laugh.
Ahh...good times.
I think his staff heard all his jokes about 1000 times, so they sent him on the road which is a good thing. he's good and I love the pet jokes
As someone who lives in Denver and has seen Dr Kev at more open mic nights than I can possibly remember, I'll listen to his same jokes over like 99% of the schlock younger comics are bringing to the table. Dude is an absolutely fantastic joke writer and isn't wildly out of touch with the crowd, even after all these years.
Funny the whole time. Thank you for the laughs and smiles😊
I'm sitting here cracking up at his jokes , and trying to imagine my veterinarians being funny like this. Nope. It'll never happen. 😅
Dr. Kevin made my day! What a funny guy!
You are very funny. The first sentence you said you made me laugh already. Thanks for making us laugh. Laughter is the best medicine.
GOOD STUFF. Loved the hamster with fridge magnet.
But, the hearing test was super!
And, like his mother, I want to know if he saved the chicken! 😂😅😊
First time I've seen this guy. Laughing so hard I can hardly type. Hilarious!!!!
Gives me new-founded hope. He's 60+ . As Am I. I am more impressed w/ his humor than comedians half his age. There is hope for us folks over 60!!!!!
I genuinely like him as well as his comedy. Can't wait to see him again. Merry Christmas ❤❤😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🎄
How refreshing to hear a gentle confident man doing amazing comedy. I loved it!!
😂😂 Kevin's one of the best I've heard in a while, he's just got it. Not to mention he sounds like Tommy Chong. Lol
With just a few Vet Schools in the Country, it's harder to get into one than Med School. That's one smart guy who is down to earth, and that makes his comedy pure gold.
What a pleasure to see this guy on Dry Bar! We love him here in Denver. 😃🤣😅😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Laughed out loud the entire set. Thanks for helping me close out the year with a smile.
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this man! 😂
THANKS FOR SHARING KEVIN 🤗👍💚💚💚
He’s so personable, genuine and funny. Great guy
He is SO funny and relatable I was laughing tears 😂😂😂 MORE PLEASE!!!!
Great set, Doctor! Perfect timing for me while wrapping gifts. OX Merry Christmas
Me Too !!
Absolutely hysterical! Love this! Great humor and talent. Love the end, since I’m a retired critical care nurse and worked a lot in surgical recovery my last few years.
