Product description

Product Description

Compilation of favourite gags, routines and observations, selected from across the groundbreaking comedian's thirty years in showbusiness and including trenchant reflections on life, death, smoking and the nature of the Irish, all delivered from his trademark stool with a glass of whisky in hand.

Amazon.co.uk Review

When Dave Allen passed away in March 2005, we lost a true comedy great. Sitting cross-legged on a high stool, whiskey in one hand, cigarette in the other, Dave Allen's exasperated commentaries on the absurdities of modern life struck a chord with millions of fans in Britain, Ireland and Australia for over four decades. He was a compelling storyteller -- able to spin shaggy dog stories out of the almost any subject, including the missing tip of his fourth finger of his left hand, for which he provided various unlikely explanations. But his gentle, laconic wit could also give way to ferocious attacks on the media, the state and, most famously, the Catholic Church. He was a unique talent -- a comic who could make his audiences laugh, cry, and be shocked, all in one. Here he is with his personal choice of sketches, gags and monologues.

Identical content to DVD in the photo
Brilliant collection of Dave Allen's sketches and stand-up jokes.The ONLY issue is it is the exact same compilation as another DVD. I was lucky enough to have owned the other compilation on VHS years ago, therefore was able to recognise it instantly. Stopping me from replacing that video tape with the DVD version.The ONLY difference between these two DVDs are the covers. The content itself is identical.Which is a bad marketing hiccup as many people could end up wasting money, buying both DVDs, only to end up with the exact same compilation of sketches and jokes.This is the ONLY reason I rated 4 stars and not 5.
