Review
'A wonderful anthology of Allen's very best material' -- Jack Dee on THE ESSENTIAL DAVE ALLEN 'He was the uncle to end all uncles, childlike yet oracular and possessed of a ravenous appetite for human folly. When he adjusted his waistcoat or shot his cuffs, dragons of unreason gasped and died at his feet.' -- Dylan Moran 'There was no one quite like him -- the stool, the smile, the cigarette, the hand gesture, the slow burn. He was a master storyteller.' -- Alan Yentob 'He was daring first and foremost, and you felt daring watching him on TV when your parents were out, and he was influential in a much more meaningful way than comics who are perhaps more name-checked, such as Bill Hicks. He belonged to that oral tradition, bringing a unique Irish storytelling sensibility to a huge television audience. It seems incredible to me now that he got away with what he did on prime-time TV. There is nothing remotely like it now.' -- Ardal O'Hanlon 'Like all the good comics, he was a perfectionist - he wouldn't settle for anything less. I watched him develop, from his days on The Val Doonican Show to becoming a storyteller, delivering his polemics. He was so serious and committed, but he proved you could be serious and funny -- he was our Bill Hicks.' -- Barry Cryer 'The first stand-up to elevate the telling of the story above the punchline.' -- Sean O'Hagan, Observer 'Dave Allen was an iconic figure of 1970s comedy. At its best the work displays a wry, Thurbereresque grasp of human fears and folly, a sense of the ridiculous to rival that of Flann O' Brien.' -- Metro
