Amazon.co.uk Review
Victoria Wood Live at the Albert Hall provides proof, if any were needed, that after two decades at the top of her profession, Wood is one of a small handful of British comedians of either sex capable of filling the country's largest venues. For the consistently high quality of her penetrating observations of the mundane she has no equal. Recorded in 2001, this performance has all the hallmarks of her microscopic examinations of life's perplexing minutiae and trivia. From her recent hysterectomy to Paul Daniels, from the NHS help line to wheelie bin covers, from Americans in Disneyworld to the ageism of catalogue mailing lists, nothing escapes Wood's attention. Not even in-vogue authors: she refuses to read "Captain Corelli's friggin' Mandolin" as it sits reproachfully at her bedside.

Wood even provides her own interval act: a devastatingly accurate parody of a vulgar, second-rate cabaret singer shot to stardom on the wings of a cruise ship docu-soap. Jane McDonald's sense of humour will never face a harder test. More poignant are Wood's observations on parenthood and marriage, with all the physical ailments of middle age ("We've only got one fully operating leg between us"). She has since separated from her husband, the magician Geoffrey Durham. Fans will await the impact of that on her stand-up material with some interest. --Piers Ford

5.0 out of 5 stars Typical Wood, 23 Jul 2006
By J. Hutchings "jjhutchings" (Framlingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Saw this live and had to buy it. The inclusion of the Jane MacDonald parody kills me every time, as well as 'Hysterectomies and Hernias'.

Buy it - stop reading this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any Victoria Wood fan, 4 Jan 2004
For any fan of Victoria Wood this is a great DVD at a great price (thanks Amazon, your the best!!!). Victoria Wood's dry sense of humour and commentary on some of the most simplistic things in life are just fantastic.
This DVD comes highly recommended so please buy it while you can!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Hilarious!, 16 Jul 2007
By Ms. J. Phillips "filmwatcher" (Staffordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I totally urge you to buy this highly amusing DVD. My 14 yrold son and I watched it together and we were both in hysterics. Her puns were witty, her jokes tasteful and we were both very disappointed to reach the end of this cracking DVD. She is, without doubt, superb.

I had only heard Victoria Woods one woman shows on audio tape, so was interested to see what a recording of the live show would be like. I wasn't disappointed. Read more
