DVD Description
Having co-written and starred in the hilarious Channel 4 series Phoenix Nights with Peter Kay, Dave Spikey is best known for his role as the club’s long-suffering compere, Jerry "The Saint" St. Clair. Also a comedian, actor, writer and presenter, Dave is a British comedy award winner, having previously won the prestigious Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the title of North-West Comedian of the Year.

Filmed in front of a live audience at the Leeds Music Varieties Theatre, Dave keeps the audience in hysterics with his down-to-earth observations about everything from the difference between Northerners and Southerners to memory loss, fashion for old men, badly written obituaries and ducks doing cabaret!

5.0 out of 5 stars Live the Dream, 12 Nov 2003

By	Kathy (Bolton, Lancs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I was at the taping of this DVD in Leeds and I have to say Dave is THE funniest comedian I have ever seen live!! The whole theatre was in stitches from beginning to end. I am only disappointed that I can not rate this more that 5 stars because it easily deserves 10!!

This guy is a genius at observational comedy, I defy anyone to not recognise themselves, their friends or their friends KIDS!!! in this DVD. From the mad things that parents say (yes you too) to the correct way to use a lavatory brush, the laughs just go on and on. If you already know Dave Spikey...this is him at his absolute best. If you've never seen him live then you don't know what you are missing (check out his website and see what dates are left)and if you like Peter Kay then you will LOVE Dave Spikey he is in another class entirely.

What else is there to say...except if you only buy one DVD/Video this Christmas....MAKE SURE ITS THIS ONE...you will not be disappointed!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Overnight Success Tour, 11 Mar 2004

By A Customer

Surely the fact that Dave Spikey co-wrote the brilliant Phoenix Nights is reason enough to buy this DVD?! If not then here are some other reasons..........

In the past few years the PN lads have pulled off a minor comedy revolution and have made northern club humour more mainstream; and Dave's DVD reflects this. It's a long way removed from the "alternative" or political comedy still on doing the rounds in southern clubs and some of the material has a retro feel, covering as it does old men's clothing, amusing cuttings from newspapers and gags about the effects of curry on the digestive system. However (and it's an enormous HOWEVER) it's heartstoppingly funny, being brilliantly written and delivered with a real warmth and skill. This might sound a bit sentimental but he also leaves you feeling good - at the end of the day his material is big hearted and compassionate - a welcome change from the sourness that some comedians fall back on for laughs.

Although he's recently hit the big time (he headlined his own national tour in 2003) Dave's been honing his act for over a decade now and you can tell because the whole show seems effortless. His timing's fantastic and he plays the audience perfectly, whether he's stretching every last laugh out of a straightforward gag or taking the audience with him on one of his more surreal journeys. He uses his voice flawlessly and the newspaper cuttings section I mentioned earlier, in which Dave recites crass rhyming obituaries from the local paper, becomes helplessly funny when he reads them out. You think "I'd never have spotted that if he hadn't pointed it out" - and as far I'm concerned that's a mark of great observational comedy.

Have I convinced you yet? Well, along with his stand up set there's ALSO a special feature which is worth the money alone - Interview with a Clubland Legend. This is basically Jerry St Clair from Phoenix Nights in all but name, and is a breathtaking 40-minute stream of consciousness from the The Legend about his dour northern upbringing, breaking into showbiz, and finally hitting the big time. The pace of the gags is breakneck, one after another, and you don't want to blink in case you miss a joke or a sideways look. For me this is just as funny as the main gig and the intimate format shows off Dave as a true master.

I'm obviously a fan aren't I? But honestly, if you want to see very, very funny stand up by a very, very funny man, then whip out that plastic now. You will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning- Spikey= Very Sharp, 19 Dec 2005

By	Liam Reilly "Liam Reilly" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've never watched Phoenix Nights, and only first saw Dave Spikey at Comic Aid earlier this year. He was very funny then, but this is a new level of funny. Some fantastic jokes (especially 'Dobber Clobber' and the newspaper obituaries). His nervous start is part of the act, so don't worry, he's not an amateur.

Hilarious comedy from a man who is funnier than Peter Kay (and has been in comedy longer too). Few extras which is slightly disappointing, though the 1 extra offered 'Interview with a clubland legend' is funny enough to make up for it.
