From Amazon.co.uk

Just a quick taxi ride from his mum's house, Peter Kay comes home to play Live at the Bolton Albert Halls. A packed and appreciative audience--sprinkled with Corrie stars for added glamour--relish the prodigal son's return. As his first stand-up show, Live at the Top of the Tower, demonstrated, Kay is a master of the mundane, finding hilarity in the previously unnoticed details of family life: here, Gran in her warden-protected flat, the funny way that dads run, and going to the supermarket with Mum are all mined for comic riches.

Kay is an inspired mimic and observer of social interactions: in a tour-de-force segment he takes us to a typical wedding reception where we meet incoherent DJs, bitchy female friends of the bride, uncles embarrassing themselves on the dancefloor and little boys sliding on their knees. References to "the big light", Mum's preferred "Rola Cola" and garlic bread are thematic strands from his earlier show, developed here in Dad's horrified discovery of "cheese cake".

Although Kay's observations play on his northern upbringing he generally avoids stereotypical north-south jokes; but here on home turf he can't resist mentioning the vexed issue of southern fish-and-chip shops with their lack of mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy ("have you got owt moist?"), and can even risk a little dig at Mancunians--which always goes down well with a Bolton crowd. Genial, nostalgic and unapologetically rooted in a Coronation Street worldview, Kay's comedy is both specific to time and place, and universal in its celebration of the everyday. --Mark Walker

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody marvellous! 17 Feb 2006

Format:DVD
This is one of the best comedy performances I've seen! Peter Kay is an absolute legend! He manages to make even the most mundane of things seem extraordinary - "Cheese...cake?". Even when he messes up (the robbery) it's absolutely hilarious! You'll lose 14 stone in a day with the rate you'll be laughing! A bargain at any price.

Peter Kay. Does this man have the touch of Gold ?? Clearly he does with this one. The Tower show was funny enough, but this beats it by far. He reaches into northern humour and pulls out what all of us northern folk think about....RICH TEA AND HOB NOBS !!! His own brand of childish observations and mannerisms had my four year old daughter rolling with laughter. Not with the jokes, but as she says ...'isnt that Man funny talking like an old lady Daddy?'...she remarked when he was talking about his grandma. A truly good laugh to own !!! Buy it !! It WILL suit all tastes all occasions !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Beat A Bit Of Bully! 17 Nov 2003
Format:DVD
Peter Kay - Live at the Bolton Albert Halls had a lot to live up to. Peter's last stand-up release, Live At The Top Of The Tower, was side-splitting from start to finish. Like Python's Parrot or Lumbejack sketches, Live At The Tower infected the nation with a bout of catchphrases. Well, move over Garlic Bread, take a back seat 'booked it, packed it...etc' - this release is just as good and more. If it's a sleepless night of jokes repeating on you that you're after, you can't do much better than to give Amazon your card details and buy this DVD! If you've ever been to a British wedding party, you'll be in stitches when you hear Peter explain the phenomemnon that is your drunken father climbing into the back of a taxi and heading home for bed. Or perhaps you've owned and nearly been mamed by an early-1980s VCR - this DVD is for you. The DVD is also a treat. Although there are no extras on the disc, the Bullseye-style graphics are just as funny as the Top of The Tower teletext spoof! I now own both Phoenix Nights DVDs, both stand-up DVDs and can't wait for the next. Enjoy!
