I'm not going to change your sheets again, Mr Hastings.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Derek & Clive (Live) (Audio CD)
Listening to Derek and Clive is like eavesdropping down the pub. Best appreciated whilst inebriated. It's mysogynistic, homophobic, contains some vicious swearing and contains a fair amount of drunken abuse. It's also possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard. When you start listening to Derek & Clive, usually in private given the above, inevitably someone will overhear, and then shortly afterwards ask to borrow it. This is how almost everyone starts. If you're easily offended, sensitive, or prefer your humour to be politically correct and/or sophisticated, don't bother. Otherwise, enjoy.

A comedian's album,

This review is from: Derek & Clive (Live) (Audio CD)
There's an old show business story about a team of TV writers sitting around in a room telling the funniest, most off-the-wall jokes that anyone had ever heard. After a few minutes, one of them says "OK, it's time to stop and actually write the show." They then proceed to sober up and turn out the usual TV fare.The "Derek and Clive" albums are like sitting in a session like that - they're terrific if only for the stream-of-consciousness raw liquor humor they contain and which the public usually doesn't see because it fails to lend itself to conventional forms and delivery. This first album still has pieces that resemble the usual Cook & Moore sketch comedy, but there are still many great examples of how the comedic mind functions when let completely loose. WARNING: Don't expect this to be like the Frog & Peach. It's filthy, politically incorrect, and mind corrupting but also hilarious and priceless.

The funniest album in the world... ever!!,
By
This review is from: Derek & Clive (Live) (Audio CD)
This is the first (and best) of the Derek & Clive albums - and what an album it is!
Recorded in a studio Manhattan in 1973 during nights off from the American run of their 'Behind the Fridge' live show, & interspersed with live material recorded in front of a small audience of friends in a club in Greenwich Village, it actually remained unreleased for 3 years. During this time 'bootlegs' of the sessions had mysteriously been surfacing, prompting this belated 'offical' release - which proved a deserved commercial success. Kicking off in fine style with the hilarious (& now classic)tale of Clive's worst job ever (involving Jayne Mansfield & some,er, unwanted lobsters...), a swear-fest, songs, & even more obscure and hitherto unchartered topics of humor, it is guaranteed to have you in fits of laughter throughout. Definitely not for the easily offended though!! I can remember crying with laughter at the song that finishes the album (Jump) - and you still keep laughing, however many times you listen to it. Basically it's a foul-mouthed version of the classic 60s Pete & Dud characters - & never have I heard people make swearing sound so funny! I have to admit, when I first heard this album I was a child, and didn't even know who Peter Cook & Dudley Moore were! This seems crazy now, as I know now that they are two of the unsurpassed comic geniuses of the 20th century - & this album is only one facet of their diverse collective creative canon. But, if you've never heard this album before... what are you waiting for? Go buy it, play it to your friends & get ready for some very serious giggles!!
