Funny no tears formula

Advantages: Non offensive comedy style, intelligent comedian, Michael is warm to the audience and so you relax
Disadvantages: None

I first saw Michael McIntyre on a variety performance when flicking channels and was to be honest not a fan but after seeing him on Mock the Week and feeling that he has developed his style of comedy I decided to give this dvd a shot and was not disappointed. Michael McIntyre is an extremely intelligent comedian who always delivers his style of humour in a way which should make you feel like you are being spoken down to by him but it actually feels ...
...he is. I love watching Michael work as he is not scared to laugh at his own jokes and I was very impressed by his audience interraction which I have seen a lack of with some comedians but he has worked hard on his set and is now certainly at the top of his game. The dvd will deliver laughs and intelligent comedy and you will not walk away feeling like somebody has just stood swearing at you and insulting your inteligence but will infact walk away ...

Review of The Inbetweeners - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

A great comedian but not the best show

Advantages: Great comedian at the top of his game, lots of laughs, perfect delivery of jokes
Disadvantages: A lot of material you have heard before, foul mouthed throughout

Frankie Boyle is a comedian who I have grown to like more and more through his appearances on Mock the Week and so I decided that getting a chance to see him having a full show of his own would be brilliant and so I got hold of this dvd and sat ready for the laughs. So is this the best ever comedy experience from a comedian at the top of his game? Well you will laugh at the jokes and yes Frankie delivers his usual top quality gags with the perfect ...
...how methodical the show and Frankie himself is with him obviously having worked hard to get his show to a perfect delivery standard and just doing it over and over. The jokes are delivered in the same way with the same expression, the same timing and this leads to a slight feeling of disappointment. I don't want to put off those fans of great comedy as Frankie is truly a great but prepare yourself for foul mouthed and abusive comedy from the potential ...

Oh, would you like to pick out the outfit that you break up with

Advantages: Hilarious, Rudd, HIll, the script
Disadvantages: Didn't really want to see Segel full frontal......

...sort of film I would recommend watching if you like silly comedy that doesn't go too far like others have commented films such as Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, etc have done. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is very funny, and will keep you watching. I recommend giving it a go, it's hilarious. ...
