Here is his personal choice of sketches, gags and monologues that wickedly target the foibles of our age.
With suit, a stool and a glass of something he was in his element, reflecting laconically on such diverse subjects as sex, the Irish and God, traffic, smoking, the Bible, life, and death.
It's a vintage display from unique raconteur, a man who observed our guilt, weaknesses and doubts and made us laugh at them and at ourselves., Dave Allen was an alternative comedian before the phrase existed, an innovator who set the agenda for comedy and comedians for more than 30 years.

Great compilation. It's says 'Of all the best bits' , but to be honest, I don't think there were ANY bad bits out of any of the Dave Allen shows I've watched over the years. The DVD gives a wide range of his talents, all of which shine. He was the one that broke the mould, and his easy relaxed way was a for-runner to quite a few other comedians that followed. He's gone but not forgotten while there are DVDs like this to remind us all of just what a talent has left the world of entertainment. A great DVD and hopefully, the first of many.
A glass of whisky and a chair the only props for this comic great! Original material and a lighter look at life!
