- Synopsis:
- 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. 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.

Overrated comedy - Dave Allen: The Best Of review by DS
I like a lot of old comedy from this era, and I like a monologue presentation style, but this collection from Dave Allen does not make me laugh. I won't deconstruct the reasons too much. Just because something is silly does not make it funny.
