Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Bloody marvellous!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Kay - Live At The Bolton Albert Halls [DVD] [2003] (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.

Genius at work?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Kay - Live At The Bolton Albert Halls [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
You are possibly about to see the greatest comic this country has seen. Peter Kay took his last stand up bow for a while at the end of this, Mum wants a Bungalow, tour - and boy, won't we miss him?If you saw his 'Top of the Tower' DVD then your expectations will be mega high. That though was the best stand up dvd of all time so approach this new one with an open mind. He brings back his charming trustable look and with his Mum and 'Nan' in the audience he reminises of Bullseye and funerals. He reminds everyone of their 'Uncle Knobhead' and when "who's ringing at this time?" pops out it adds to the one of many times when you look across the room and tell your relative "That's you!". He tops it off with a wedding reception and whilst boys slide on their knees and girls get the lastest dance moves off to a tee the drunken dad bursts into song. He did 180 of the shows, but you can't tell.

Ha - Ha- Bonk ...The sound as you laugh your head off,
This review is from: Peter Kay - Live At The Bolton Albert Halls [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
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 !!!
