Peter Kay - Live At The Bolton Albert Halls (Wide Screen)

Advantages: Funny, very funny indeed, and very limited swearing
Disadvantages: Knicker-wettingly funny! No extras on the DVD.

...the Bolton Albert Halls is Peter Kay at his knicker-wettingly funny best. The DVD opens with a sequence showing Peter trying to get to the venue in question in time for curtain-up. Humour ensues, with the taxi driver (who is a nutter) stopping to pick up two girls who, it turns out, are on their way to see Peter Kay, and are worrying about being late until it dawns on them that the show can't start until their fellow passenger gets there... From ...
...DVD content list - it's Peter Kay's face appearing as Bully used to, with the Bullseye board in the background. If you leave it on this screen for any length of time, however, the theme music from Bullseye will probably drive you potty. One gripe I'd have about this DVD is its complete lack of extras. The opening and closing sequences make an amusing setting for the live performance, but don't really warrant the title of extra, so all you get is ... Read review

Advantages: fantastic observational comedy
Disadvantages: no extras on the DVD

...again. And it works with Peter Kay, because although I never usually want to see or read anything twice, I’ve watched this four times and I’ve only had it for a week. Kay is rumoured to be taking a break from stand-up for a few years, which makes me very glad I have this DVD. Peter Kay is from Bolton, and if you still aren’t sure which one he is, he did the beer advert where he wanted to pack his mum off into a home. You might also have seen him ...
...itself isn’t exciting - just Peter on stage, with some chairs, and some balloons tied to tins of paint. There are absolutely no extras on the DVD which is disappointing, not even any hidden ones, unless I’m very much mistaken . The graphics are better than average though – they are done in the style of ITV’s Bullseye (which also gets a mention as part of his stand-up.) Don’t expect to watch this and then leave it in the DVD case. You’ll be quoting ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny
Disadvantages: No extras

I’d never heard of Peter Kay until I saw him on Parkinson one Saturday night and found myself rolling around the furniture with tears rolling down my face, and my cheeks hurting from laughing so much, so the next day I went out and brought this DVD for £15.99 from Woolworths, you can buy it on video, but I prefer DVD because you get extras, however, I was disappointed with this when I got home because it has NO extras, if I had known I could ...
...Peter Kay has also starred and written the TV series Phoenix Nights, which I have to admit I have never seen, but it does come highly recommended by my brother as well as other ciao members. Peter Kay also stars in the John Smith adverts, and I still find the running bomb highly amusing. For this DVD, Peter returns back home to Bolton to play in front of a packed Bolton Albert Hall as part of his “Mum wants a bungalow tour“. In the audience ... Read review

Advantages: comedy genius
Disadvantages: none

...a big fan of Mr. Peter Kay, on this DVD he is simply sublime. This is what he does best..Stand-Up comedy. The venue Bolton's Albert Hall. The initial Taxi scene.. was the only weakness. It would of been a lot worse without Peter's quick wit in the back of the cab. Naturally, the taxi was late picking him up and drove him to the Albert Hall. Though running late Peter Kay's did not lose an audience member as the Albert Hall was packed full of 'J' ...
...three occasions. The only slight sadness is that their are no hidden back stage clips that gives you a 'fly on a wall' feel to it, which draws the viewer in to the workings more. Ideal for all. A classic remedy, a must for all Peter Kay fanatics. Enjoy. ... Read review
