Its not that the material here isnt funny, as frequently it is. Kays observations on the likes of Crimewatch, Bullseye, the daft things that people say and weddings hit home with resounding accuracy. Yet all this has been delivered before on a far better DVD. His Live At The Bolton Albert Halls disc, released two years prior to this one, is a taping made on exactly the same tour, and as a result, the material across the two discs is virtually identical. Furthermore, the show on this latest release is cut down to a dramatically shorter length. Save for a strong DVD extra that takes you behind the scenes of his tour, theres simply no reason that anyone who bought the previous release should fork out for this one.
Kays talents are undisputed, and the aforementioned Live At The Bolton Albert Halls DVD is a must-have for fans of strong stand-up comedy. But you really should give Live At The Manchester Arena a miss, and treat is as the unwelcome cash cow it clearly is.--Simon Brew

This review is from: Peter Kay / Live At Manchester Arena Se [DVD] [2004] (DVD)
This is the same tour as the DVD Live at the Bolton Albert Hall so expect the same material.If you already have Live at the Bolton Albert Halls then there's no point in duplicating what you already have, except for the "show me the way to Amarillo" insert which I believe is the only difference that sets it apart from the other. It's just another ploy by the record company to get you to buy it again by wrapping it under a different title. Don't bother! Unless you don't have the Bolton DVD!!

DVD was verbatem Live at the Bolton Albert Halls, The only new funny bit in it was when he pokes bungle in the eye during the Amarillo out takes. Very disappointed to have parted with my hard earned cash for nothing. Tell as many people as you can.

This review is from: Peter Kay / Live At Manchester Arena Se [DVD] [2004] (DVD)
Peter Kay is a comic genius, and my recent purchase of Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere proves to me that Peter isn't a one night stand (up) comedian.Why then has he produced an exact repeat of his live 'My mum wants a Bungalow Tour'? I rented this DVD expecting to hear new material, new tag lines, and have a fresh burst of laughter from Mr Kay. Sadly, I was left feeling somewhat cheated. Just glad I didn't actually 'purchase' the DVD, byt both my wife and I agreed afterwards that the DVD publishing firm or Peter Kay himself are going to be leaving some fans feeling a bit cheated and let down. My advice is to rent it, or to simply buy the Bolton Hall DVD; excatly the same matieral, just a different wrapper.
