I agree there are a few too many refrences to amnesty International, but that was the point of the gig! and some of the sets could have been longer, but they were obviously struggling to fit in so many acts.
And how come no ones mentioned Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield working together again, and the huge slanging match they have! That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life!
There's also a new version of the classic monty python sketch 'The Four Yorkshire Men' featuring vic reeves and Alan Rickman, amongst other great actors/comedians, no ones mentioned that either!
As with all comedy, it depends on what you find funny.
The good thing, or bad depending on how you look at it, is this disc has a variety of comedians, so there is really something for everyone.
Some funny sketches, but the message that this is for Amnesty International is forced at you every two seconds, which is distracting. Don't get me wrong charity is a good thing, but they could have just cut down on the little inter-cuts between comedians.
Good DVD.
