Product Description
You’ll already know Greg Davies as the psychotic Head of Sixth Form, Mr Gilbert in The Inbetweeners (Ch4) and as the most out-of-shape member of We are Klang (BBC3).
His hotly anticipated debut stand-up show was a critically lauded sell-out smash hit at the 2010 Edinburgh festival, picking up a prestigious nomination for the Fosters Comedy Award (formerly the Perrier). Following a sell-out autumn tour and a spring 2011 extension added due to popular demand, now’s your chance to see this incredible stand-up show, live on DVD. It promises to address every single issue important to the human race. But it lies - it won’t address any. Buy it though, it’ll be funny.
Greg’s many television appearances also include the most recent series of Live at The Apollo and Have I Got News for You, as a regular on Ask Rhod Gilbert (BBC1) - as well as appearances on Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Once again its that time of year where all the panel-show-comedians get their latest tour into the shops the make their christmas bonus - good luck to them, stand-up (and panel shows) have never been as popular - but it does mean that the market has become very saturated.
We get the same old format (cant really fault them but it can get tiring), the same old performers (lee evans still going strong), the mock the week crew all with their offerings (not another russell howard dvd, hes got a box set now dont you know), some very good newcomers like micky flanagan and stephen merchant and the usual rehashing of old shows and repackaging (russell brands "new" new york live show dvd complete with years old material), but greg davies' stands out by a country mile.
Not only is it good to see someone new getting their dvd on, but it is also a huge bonus when someone youve liked on their various appearances and shows comes out with a fresh, hilarious and original show. I havent laughed this hard during a stand-up for years, it caught me off guard and it kept me hooked every second of the way through.
What greg has done here isnt vastly unique (gone is the one man and his microphone routine), with a flip chart and little book of short stories being the props used but it just helps things along a bit - and considering plenty of the material is about greg during his teaching days the flipchart doesnt feel out of place. Everyone seems to be trying to use a little gimmick to make their show a bit more visually entertaining (stephen merchants encore is an ingenious example) but this is used subtly and acts as a small visual aid to what is central to the show - storytelling....

I've always like Greg Davies on panel shows. This live tour was brilliant, very very fresh and was a welcome change from the familiar worn out comedy we regulary get nowadays about Husbands, Wives, Race, Kids etc. Thoroughly recommended this and will make a great christmas gift.
Hope you do more tours Greg !!
5 stars.

Firing Cheeseballs at a dog is a fantastically hilarious Dvd! I bought it after seeing Greg Davies perform at The Royal Variety show last year. There is not one bit if this DVD that doesn't make me laugh! Greg Davies is a definite one to watch!

I'd seen a few clips of his stand up before I bought this dvd, and so I was expecting great things. I was not even slightly disappointed. It was totally hilarious. I genuinely didn't stop laughing. It actually hurt by the end, and I guarantee that you will laugh, too. I've watched it a few times now, and it still hasn't lost anything. I showed it to my entire group of friends, and to my brother, and they all found it as funny as I did.
This is really a brilliant show, and you'll be so glad that you bought it. There is not a bad thing I can say about this show - it's just non-stop laughs. Perfect.

Being a fan of Gregs from ask Rhod Gilbert and his epic term as Mr Gilbert on the Inbetweeners, I picked this up and expected to laugh, however I didn't expect anything this funny. Beautifully shot incredibly funny an something I'll watch time and time again.

Very amusing
This man suffered years of teaching children so you could laugh at the stories he tells you of their strange quirks and odd traits. Read more

Very funny
All comedy is down to personal taste, but we found this very funny - worth buying if you find him funny on the IBs or panel shows.

I lent it to my folks recently but we ended up watching it together... it did get a little awkward from time to time but generally they also enjoyed it.

The most pain I've been in for a long time!
Was recommended this by a friend, didn't think of Greg Davies as a stand up before, but how wrong I was hilarious, can't recommend him, or this DVD enough.
