DVD Description
Stewart Francis is the Canadian comic famous for his razor-sharp one-liners and impeccable sense of timing. A TV regular on programmes such as Mock the Week, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Live At The Apollo, Stewart has established himself as serious hot property on the comedy circuit, recently supporting Ricky Gervais as part of his Science tour. In his brand new, debut stand up DVD, Stewart brings us his Tour de Francis… a scenic ride full of gags from his fantastic British stand-up tour.
“Stewart Francis’ gags are razored-down one-liners with disarming set-ups lurching into twisted and bitter pay-offs, drier than a Manhattan martini” Scotland On Sunday
“It’s rare to be left with such a sense of admiration for a comedian’s writing talents” Edinburgh Evening News
“One of the funniest comedians in the world” The Late Late Show

I saw him on this tour whilst he was at Warwick and would thoroughly recommend the DVD to anyone. His one liner jokes will have you in fits of laughter and he just keeps with them throughout without stopping. For any of you who has seen his work before his tour has had a whole host of brand new jokes in as well as the classic ones which he is associated with, I cannot wait to get this DVD.

Just finished watching this DVD so thought I'd review while it's still fresh in the mind!
I was already familiar with Stewart Francis - I've seen him a few times on Mock The Week and was lucky enough to catch his 20-minute supporting role for Ricky Gervais on his Science tour last year. He strikes me as a bit of a Marmite comedian - people who appreciate his blend of lightning-quick one-liners and deadpan humour think the man is a genius whereas others might prefer their humour with a touch more depth.
I'm in the first category - this 70 minute barrage of puns and wordplay absolutely cracked me up. There's quite a bit of material from MTW and his appearance on Live at the Apollo recycled here, but for the most part it still raises a big laugh and in this kind of setting Francis is free to do his own thing and be a little cruder than usual, and it's to good effect.
There's very little in the way of slow or awkward parts - Francis is professional enough to work through the lines that don't necessarily elicit a big laugh and in the next minute fire off an absolutely classic punchline. He doesn't need to rely on audience participation - the material is strong and clever enough across the hundreds of jokes to make your cheeks cramp up from grinning so much.
Highly recommended and perfect viewing for a quiet evening - exactly the kind of humour that everyone, young or old, male or female, can enjoy.

I'd seen Stewart Francis on TV doing short slots - and some of that material is on this DVD - but for over an hour he keeps doing one-liners, puns, running jokes, self-deprecation and pure craziness. Probably more original, laugh-out-loud jokes than you'll get on any other DVD and definitely the cleverest and funniest stand-up currently working. If you don't laugh at this there is no hope for you.

TV OK BUT DVD TTFN
Stuart Francis'tv appearances made me laugh a lot, but I did not find this DVD as amusing. More variety in camera shots might have helped plus more animation on Stuart's part.

Very good value and kept me laughing for ages. Because these consist of one liners it is best to watch it in stages as the speed of delivery can get tedious and there is more... Read more
