Russell Watson - Live In New Zealand (DVD)

Advantages: Histerically Funny
Disadvantages: Might not be your taste

...I have always enjoyed watching stand up and happily spend many evenings with the other half, falling asleep giggling to something silly. My favourite comedians include, Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, Jim Davidson, Lee Evans and Tim Minchin. While browsing through HMV a few weeks ago, making a few usual impulse buys in the hope of finding something good, I spotted Russell Howard's "Live" DVD. The name rang a bell and I briefly remembered seeing a 2 minute clip of Russell on youtube and finding it funny. So the DVD was brought for 9.99. If you have never seen Russell Howard before or seen any of his material, I can only describe him as being hysterically funny with a boyish charm. His youthful physical appearance, accompanied by a very cheeky grin really add to the already funny material he produces. He is very active and almost hyper... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful city
Disadvantages: Not very Kiwi

...Christchurch is in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island and is the largest city on this island. Like the North Island's Auckland, it is a key arrival point and hub for international travellers. Christchurch is situated close to the East coast and to the West lie the immense flat sweeps of the Canterbury plains. These vast plains feel flat, even to me, a native of East Anglia. Their main use is farmland and they require regular wind blocks of tall fences of trees to stop the topsoil from blowing away. Named by the after Oxford's Christ Church (a college that one of the Canterbury Association went to), it was a colony sponsored by the Church of England about 150 years ago. Even today, the city centre has an extremely British in feel to it and even has a river Avon upon which you can go punting!The centre itself has... Read review

Advantages: Hilarious and he's gorgeus!
Disadvantages: If your offended easily

...,i realised he could give any of us a run for our money on 'the weakest link'! I decided to buy this dvd as I knew it was right up my ally. I got it on ebay for roughly 9.00p and recieved it about 3 days later. Its rated 18,and I can certainly see why. Brand generally deals with the subject of embarrasment in this hour long d.v.d filmed at the Shepards Bush Empire. Its certainly not the type of humour I would sit down and watch with my mum or dad,as you even find yourself cringing at the balls of steel he has to say some things. I think that you certainly have to be open minded and quite laid back to enjoy his humour. His humour is NOT racist or prejudice to anyone,by saying you must be open minded and layed back,i mean the fact that he openly talks about sex,sex and more sex! He talks of using a hoover to erm,enjoy himself... Read review
