Outstanding. Lee Evans is just amazing.

Advantages: Around 2 and a half hours of pure comedy
Disadvantages: None that I can think of - will update if I find any.

...insight into how much work Lee Evans put into each and every show. Now...down to the show itself. To begin with, I was never sure about Lee Evans, I'd seen him in a few things, but nothing that really showed his true talent for making people laugh. After watching the DVD my view was changed forever. He is amazingly talented at not only telling jokes - but also performing them, and changing character at the drop of a hat. And the jokes! Some were ...
...laughing from start to finish. He is also an incredibly talented singer and songwriter, I was in awe of him when he sang at the end of the show, and the lyrics to the song were so heartwarming, the combination of his voice and the lyrics were just - magical. He is such a versatile performer that it really makes him enjoyable to watch. In my opinion anyway. ...

Review of Lee Evans - XL Tour - Live (DVD)

Enter the world of Noble. One way ticket.

Advantages: Hilarious, Stylish box, Long running time
Disadvantages: The "here comes Noble" song

...comedy DVD's. 144 minutes of Ross Noble on-stage time. If you don't know anything about Ross Noble's stylings then let me try and explain him briefly as best I can. He tends to start with a story then wander completely off from it, eventually finding his way back at the very end of his set. He doesn't seem to have a rehearsed set and prefers to interact with the crowd then offer the audience insight in to his odd way of viewing the world. I can confirm, ...
...highlights of the set include: Celebrity faces in muffins... "there's a face, next muffin" Bt Friends and pets service.. "17p a day" Old german oompah dancer."you really are very german Franz" Summoning the Demon.... "Least menacing demon ever, he sounds like Blakey from on the buses" The extras The muffin game: This is amusing for a few minutes but it really doesn't add anything to the DVD. I suspect Noble threw it in for his own amusement. ...

Review of Ross Noble - Sonic Waffle (DVD)

One Man And A Piano

Advantages: fantastic comedy show
Disadvantages: some dodgy camera angles

...you would like. 1 Ready For This. This is the opening song for the show and Minchin comes onto the stage in a blaze of strobe lights and opens the show with a great little rock ditty where he manages to poke fun at himself while accompanied by a recording of him beatboxing with back up singers. 2 Prejudice In our modern free spoken society There is a word that we still hold taboo A word with a terrible history Of being used to ...
...to gingers, the playground taunt of choice. A hilarious song that manages to use more ginger puns than you thought existed! 3 America America is not a song but a stand up routine which discusses how forward Americans are compared to Australians and British people and are not afraid to shout about their achievements. Somehow the dialogue manages to veer onto the big bang and what will happen to a certain office block in Times Square in Manhattan ...

Review of Ready For This - Tim Minchin

A night you would want to remember!

Advantages: Funny, Famous cameo, Unpredictable
Disadvantages: slightly unbelievable at times.

Well I saw the Hangover in the cinema, and I plan on purchasing on DVD in the near future. I thought this film was hilarious - one of my friends more so as he decided to go to watch it in the cinema about 3 or 4 times! I personally felt the star of the show so to speak was Zach Galifianakis who played slightly odd soon to be brother in law Alan. I just thought his stupidity/twisted sense of humour was really funny, and entertained me all the way ...
...really, but at the same time quite amusing. I won't go into too much detail of what happens as I don't want to spoil any of the suprises during the film. Basically, the film is about a group of guys who go to Vegas for a bloke called Doug to have a stag night. Doug doesn't really feature in the film other than the beginning and end - as he goes missing - which is the point of the film. They wake up the morning after with a trashed hotel room, and ...

Review of The Hangover (DVD)

Golden British Comedy

Advantages: comedy, length, price, extras
Disadvantages: /

Last Christmas I received Harry Hill's TV Burp Gold DVD, which over the course of the year I watched on many occasions. When I discovered a second DVD was going to be released, I couldn't wait. The television series was still as strong as ever, and a second DVD would make it perfect. The ITV show itself is incredible. Each week Harry sits down for half an hour to point out of all the funny things that have happened in TV. For example, Coleen Nolan ...
...on the front of it Harry Hill is pointing a large remote at us whilst wearing his trademark black suit and white shirt with the enormous collar. Underneath the DVD title is written in bright gold lettering to allow it to stand out. It is one that is easily spotted and looks wonderful too. Of course, it is what is on the inside that counts! With this, you can watch all the best bits of the last series', giving you a show a little over an hour. So ...
