It’s hard to remember a comedian that’s enjoyed anything like the far-reaching success of Peter Kay in recent years. A best-selling autobiography, writing and directing hit television shows, and a comedy tour that broke records are just some of his achievements, and there’s a strong flavour of what makes him so popular on this Stand Up Ukay DVD.
The disc is effectively a greatest hits collection of his stand-up comedy routines, apparently chosen by the British public. So therefore Stand Up Ukay brings together some hilarious work: Hob Nobs in the your tea, how people dance at weddings and the infamous garlic bread are examples of some of the material here. The disc is then rounded out with the music video to "I’m Gonna Be" (500 Miles).
Without doubt, Stand Up Ukay is a DVD packed with laughs, but conversely, there’s little getting away from the fact that it’s full of material that the majority will have seen and enjoyed before. That some of it is making its third appearance on a DVD release does sour the taste a little, too.
Still, if you’ve missed out what all the fuss about, then Stand Up Ukay is an excellent starting point. Everyone else is best being a little more cautious. --Simon Brew

I honestly cant believe Peter Kay has the bare faced cheek to release this DVD. I fell for the last rehash DVD of old material in a new wrapper which really annoyed me, so to do it again is beggars believe!
I WAS a big fan of his, not anymore. If he ever does release new material i doubt i will buy it and I'm sure a lot of his fans feel the same about his obvious cashing in!

If you have seen the brilliant Peter Kay at Albert Hall and the Blackpool Tower one then don't bother getting this at all- NO NEW STUFF. If you haven't seen either of his stand ups then still don't get this, instead get the box set of Albert Hall and Blackpool as they show you the whole stand up rather than just the 'best bits' in this joke. If no-one buys this then it might teach Peter a lesson and persuade him to actually do a bit of work and make some new material.

Really am gob smacked as a previously big Peter Kay fan that i saw the advert for this on TV. The British public are not stupid and will not be fleeced in this way by a massive cheap ploy to generate revenue from VERY OLD material. I feel sorry for the uneducated (Granny's etc) who will purchase this not realising as Xmas presents. I really hope Mr Kay has had little to do with this decision as i think this has just done some irreversible damage to his career.

A shameless disregard for his fans
Unlike many other reviewers, I cannot claim to be a Peter Kay fan. Although I could watch him if I had to, his style of comedy is not my cup of tea. Read more

A Total Waste of Money and Time
I bought this DVD for £2-99 from a charity shop, and I'm so glad I did. I didn't read the synopsis (foolishly) and have other Peter Kay DVDs so was looking forward to new material. Read more
