Product Description
Comedian, actor, folk singer and TV presenter Jasper Carrott first came to national attention in 1975 with his Top Five hit Funky Moped/Magic Roundabout. Thirty-five years on, he remains one of Britain s best-loved comic performers. His many awards include a BAFTA (for Carrott s Lib) and a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2008 British Comedy Awards; he has twice been voted TV Personality of the Year, and received an OBE in 2003 in recognition of his work for charity. Having made several appearances on regional television during the mid-seventies, Jasper launched his first series in 1978. An Audience with Jasper Carrott was a storming success, earning him a Pye Award as Outstanding New Personality and making him into a household name. In six thirty-minute bursts of relentless stand-up punctuated by the occasional song, Carrott rants about everything from Spaghetti Junction to the Jersey constabulary, medicals to Monty Python... and infamously introduces the word zit into the English vocabulary.

I must admit I never thought this would be made avaialable on DVD so what a nice surprise. Like the other reviewer I saw this series as a youngseter at school and had most of the series cassette taped from the TV. I knew all of the material off by heart too. Material delivery seems a bit slow by today's standards but bear in mind Jasper was one of the first observational comedians rather than a traditional stand up comic. Some great routines which were a pleasure to see again.

I saw a recording of Jasper Carrott on TV recently, and remembered a wonderful tale he told about getting rid of moles in his garden. It was achingly funny and I thought I would buy a couple of hid digitalised DVDs from Amazon. I was not disappointed - the mole story has not yet come up, if it's even on one of them, but Jasper's storytelling is just wonderful and many of the current day, so-called 'comedians' should watch and learn. You don't have to be crude or rude to make people laugh.

Not one of his best
I think Jasper Carrott is great but this DVD is definately not. We watched most of it, only because we were hoping it would improve but finally gave up and put it in charity shop. Read more
