5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Hoffnung, 6 Jun 2003
This review is from: Hoffnung: A Last Encore (includes the Oxford Union Speech) (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio CD)
This audio gem is an absolute must for Hoffnung fans. Containing the famous Charles Richardson interviews and the Oxford Union "bricklayer" speech, it will have you laughing until you cry. As a Hoffnung fan since I was at school, it was a delight to listen to him again after so many years. Immaculate.

5.0 out of 5 stars English humour at its best, 22 Jul 2002
You need to know nothing of Hoffnungs work to appreciate his surreal and humanistic sense of humour. These tapes never fail to help lighten me up when I need a good laugh. The interviews with Charles are the highlight for me. Worth six stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars A neglected gem, 18 Nov 2006
By David Sanderson "Flowerbed" (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hoffnung: A Last Encore (includes the Oxford Union Speech) (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio CD)
This is great comedy. At turns surreal, observational and improvisational with superb timing and delivery.
Any fan of anything funny at all should give this a whirl.
Soon you'll also wonder why Hoffnung is not a household name along with others of his time.

Ignore the absence of hype. Get it and chuckle.
