I first saw Stephen K Amos on Live At The Apollo and I thought the guy was hilarious. After this I searched YouTube for more of his routines and was equally amused, so as soon as I saw this DVD on the shelf I bought it in a heartbeat. However, I am disappointed with this recording. Firstly, most of the routines are those he has done on TV before. Whilst this in theory isn't necessarily such a bad thing - I was pleased the "teeny tiny hot towel" and "Coon Cheese" routines were here - he doesn't seem to perform them with as much enthusiasm as usual. Also, too much of the show is spent talking to the audience. I appreciate that this is how Stephen likes to structure his performances, but the results are rarely that funny.
In a nutshell, his debut DVD release doesn't do him much justice. I still recommend you at least check this out if you are a newcomer, as you may be able to appreciate this show more than me. But if you come away underwhelmed, please don't dismiss him based purely on this DVD; I know he's better than this.

Find the funny indeed Mr Amos. I had a good look through this dvd but sadly i'm still unable to locate the funny. Maybe i'll try a genuine comic such as ed byrne, tommy tiernan or dara o'briain as this offering is pure tripe !

Find the funny ?? There is not much "funny" in this performance. I watched Mr Amos in Edinburgh 6 years ago and i was disappointed with that fringe show. But now that MrAmos has a TV show (and a bigger name) i expected an improvement.
I was wrong (and disappointed again). This performance is confident, but the comedy is slight- he spends most of the show talking to the Australian audience. The audience seem scared by the cameras, and the audience participation is not the best.
Stephen K AMos resorts to the usual black man jokes (e.g. Coon Cheese) just like the over-rated Reginald D Hunter.
At least Reginald D Hunter does not put on a Nigerian accent a la Gina Yashere and MR Amos.
Methinks i will watch some Billy Connolly or Bill Hicks now.

Found the funny pretty well
Stephen K. Amos is a genius. His jokes are good and his timing is perfect. This is the epiphany of Stand-Up Comedy. Absolutely brilliant!

Good But Not His Best

Hilarious
Stephen K Amos is absolutely hilarious, and although this DVD is brilliant, I think I have seen better performances from him on other shows, such as "Live at the Apollo". Read more

Suprisingly good
Having only seen him a couple of times of comedy shows I thought Amos was funny. But what sold it to me was his appearance on Live at the Apollo. Read more
