Shane Gillis smashed stand-up's Guinness records — who nearly beat him first?

Shane Gillis has blown past all previous Guinness World Records in stand-up comedy, setting a new benchmark in the long-running race for the longest comedy set. Among those who nearly caught him were a German tattoo-artist-turned-comedian and a Lagos-based act who performed for 52 hours. Gillis surpassed them all to become the new record holder.
