  A breath of fresh 'alternative' Irish comedy
  
  Absolutely fantastic DVD and too short, a breath of fresh air. This is not dated material as others suggest and stands up good and strong. My wife, who never ... read more »

  Dave Allen - The best of

  I was expecting a bit more of a 'best of stand up' but this is the best of Dave's TV shows. Some of it was pretty good, some bits were not so good. ... read more »

  Sorely missed friend
  
  This is a nice complication of sketches from over the years - in Dave Allen's typical style, brings back fond memories.
