Product Description
Multi award-winning comedian, Dave Spikey, filmed 'Live' on his sell out nation-wide tour.
They say that Laughter is the Best Medicine and 'Doctor' D Spikey is here to administer a massive dose straight onto your funny bone. Humour lies in the antics of everyday life and Spikey's 'Best Medicine' is full of brilliant anecdotes and observations it's quite amazing just how funny the world around us really is through the eyes of one of Lancashire's finest.
Spikey spent over 30 years in the NHS and so amongst the stories of school days , cheese addiction, monkeys on bikes , llamas on the loose , dancing dobbers and a crash course in 'jollyphonics', he delivers hysterical stories about hospital life including his recent experiences as a patient with a 'below the waist' problem. Our former 'biomedical scientist' bears all and quite literally holds nothing back ......
Dave certainly gets close to the bone but in over 90 minutes of brilliant ramblings he never oversteps the mark HILARIOUS.

I really enjoyed "Overnight Success". "Living the Dream" I could take or leave but I've enjoyed Dave whenever he's been on TV so at £3.99 I had no hesitation buying this.
It's not a terrible DVD - there are much worse comedians out there - but, after some good laughs at the start, this DVD tailed off really disappointingly. After about an hour, I hadn't laughed for 20 minutes so I turned off.
The problem for me was the material. A few of the gags were on the previous DVD. Others were predictable. The worst reminded me of Chubby Brown. Dave's stories of his hospital days were a bit boring. It was when he started moaning about paperwork and "political correctness" that I turned off - TELL US SOME JOKES, DAVE!
Like I say, it's not a terrible DVD. Dave's very personable, it's just the material that let him down, I think he ran out of good stuff on the first DVD.

We were both big fans of Peter Kay, especially after seeing his "Bolton Albert Halls" DVD but became disappointed with his follow ups. When he brought out the Manchester Arena DVD, we felt ripped off because the content was more or less identical to the Bolton DVD. When he started with the 'Geraldine' thing, we really switched off! Please don't think that we're slagging him off, he's a good comedian, he's got hordes of fans and it's just our personal opinion. Dave Spikey is a very similar type of comedian but we think he really is funnier than Peter Kay! Bold statement? - just watch his DVD's and judge for yourselves - you won't be disappointed.
The first DVD we bought was his 'Overnight Success Tour' and it's absolutely hilarious. It still has us in fits of giggles even after seeing it several times!
We then purchased "Living The Dream" and this one - "The Best Medicine Tour". We watched Living The Dream first and it was funny but somehow didn't manage to reach the same height as the Overnight Success Tour. This DVD however is a true return to form and it really is hilarious. We loved every one of the 90 minutes plus of pure everyday life comedy told in the most honest, down to earth and most funny way.
Buy this DVD while you can, you won't regret it - well worth adding to your collection!
