Product Description
Critically acclaimed BAFTA-winning star of BBC Ones Not Going Out and Would I Lie To You? Returns to the live stage with a hotly anticipated new show. Lee brings his trademark brand of high energy banter, well crafted gags and sharp one-liners to venues across the country in his national sell-out live show, Going Out Live.

Gut-bustingly funny --The Sunday Times
With shows this good, the coming decade should finally see him established as one of British comedys greats --Daily Telegraph
A ludicrously good return to the stage for Mack --The Times

(What's this?)
Enjoyed this much more than I expected to - he's genuinely funny, particularly in audience participation - and especially so when it goes wrong, as it does here. Only criticism is that he seems a little less relaxed/in control than usual - maybe because it was the DVD filming night. Just sometimes a little uncomfortable - like watching a man on the edge of a breakdown.
Really enjoyed the extras for a change - good backstage mini-doc, where you get a good feel for the real man offstage, as well as highlights from support act Simon Evans's act.

(What's this?)
Everybody has a different sense of humour, which makes reviewing a stand-up comedy DVD pretty difficult. You can't tell anyone what's funny and what isn't, it's too subjective. If you personally find something funny, then it is funny.
I've seen some of Lee Mack's live shows on TV before, and he made me laugh so much I was in tears. Unfortunately, I sat through the whole of Going Out Live, and laughed out loud maybe three or four times in 71 minutes! Lee's delivery was fast and energetic, but his material (which he wrote entirely himself) just wasn't funny. Amusing, yes. But funny, no.
It seems like, in order to compensate for his weak material, Lee decided to try and be as offensive as possible. The problem is, repeatedly shouting the "c" word and calling women in the audience fat and old, isn't my idea of comedy. If it's yours though, then you're absolutely going to love this.
I could go on, but I think I've established that I didn't enjoy it. Looking through the Customer Reviews here on Amazon, I've noticed that no one has actually detailed what you get on the DVD. So I might as well do that, before I put it in the bin. Basically, the Main Menu has three items:
1. Play Live Show (1h 10m 55s)
2. Scene Selection
3. Bonus Features
If you go into Scene Selection, you'll find the Live Show broken into the following 16 chapters, which should give you a rough idea of the topics Lee covers:
1. We're Here In Hammersmith
2. Contains Strong Language
3. Obsessed With Age
4. French Words
5. Location, Location, Location
6. The Gas Man
7. Singing With Manchesterness
8. The Serious Bit
9. Tonight's Star Prize
10. Babe-Station
11. Parents Are To Blame
12. The University Of Life
13. TV
14. Singing The Row
15. Any Questions?
16. Credits
Bonus Features contains two videos: a dull unfunny behind-the-scenes documentary, and a very brief clip from Simon Evans' half hour act:
1. On Tour With Lee Mack (23m 55s)
2. Warm Up Act: Simon Evans (3m 27s)

(What's this?)
I love my stand up and Lee Mack was a new one on me so I decided to give him ago. While I did laugh out loud in some parts on a whole I would say that his stand up act was pretty average for my taste. A lot of audience participation which is always fun and the question section at the end which I see so many comics do these days.
The 18 certificate is mostly on the language used, apart from that the material isn't that bad, some OMG moments did he really just say that but nothing as bad as Jimmy Carr.
The stand up lasts about 1:10 to credits, there are no options for subtitles and it's in English language only.
Bonus Features there is a very short warm up act which is Simon Evans who comes on for about 3 minutes which seems a bit of a waste of time and there is a "on tour with Lee Mack" which is enjoyable to watch and last's 24 minutes, you will see Lee explaining what it's like on the road and a few clips from other shows.
An enjoyable watch but I have seen better.

I'm not normally a fan of comedians like Lee Mack. He's a little bit too cheesy, tells terrible jokes, and plays up on Northern stereotypes. Read more

Made Me Laugh Throughout
Lee Mack will be familiar to viewers of panel shows and his sitcom "Not Going Out". His relatively intelligent sense of humour is coupled with an ability to think on his feet. Read more
