I am 53. I was allowed to watch him. Back in the days when people had a sense of humour. He would make us double up with laughter and what he says is so true.
Hard to believe this is twenty years old and still makes me laugh like i.ve never seen it before classic, still remember taping this on a vhs tape when i was fourteen,
I used to be a fan of him when I was in England from 1971 to 1976 . Now I am in India I watch him every day it's nearly 2020 days away I tell yeah . Long live Dave Allen .
I,ll Go as far as to say Dave Allen was probably the first comedian to use everyday observations and include them into his stand up routine.The man was simply a genius and without doubt the greatest comedian ever.RIP Dave.
Watching Dave in 2019 and remembering the shows fondly growing up as a young boy. I hope, as he always used to say at the end of his shows, that his God went with him. Brilliance ahead of his time.......
I was walking down Kensington Church St about the time this was filmed, and I saw Dave hanging out his window adjusting his window plant. I had a quick chat with him, and he was the nicest bloke you could wish to meet. A true friendly gent, and tremendously funny guy.
Dave Allen was simply at his very best during the 1990’s here when ITV just let him run free on this show with far fewer restrictions than when he was with the stuffy BBC, which I feel during his time with them didn’t properly let him showcase just how funny he could actually be. For me the 90’s was his true golden era. Best stand up comedian ever.
No matter how crazy life is Dave always makes me laugh. Starving children! Now I'm OCD. Great training for adulthood dah 🤐 . Totally brilliant. Nobody has come near him.
It is his talent for telling the story, it surpasses ordinary comedy - the storytellers are always the most valued out of All. I love that brain of his.
Thankyou for sharing this. I remember it live and recorded it on vhs with a video recorder the size of a sherman tank! Lol Been looking for this sketch. An absolute classic,from the very underated, but brilliant to those that loved him,-Dave Allen. R.I.P Sir and thanks for the laughs.
THIS BLOODY HORRIBLE WINTER HAS BEEN EASIER TO BEAR WHEN I CAN GO WATCH DAVE WITH MY HOT CHOCOLATE AND BISCUITS AT NIGHT - HE'S A CLASSY BLOKE - MAKES ME PROUD TO BE PART IRISH
@@maureenoboyle3739 i agree, so many reasons to be proud to be Irish, Dave Allen, the rugby, River dance, the Kennedys, Bill Clinton ... etc ! I am not Irish myself but love so much this country that I feel it my own !
I had similar problems with socks as a kid - and still do now at nearly 60! My mother used to use elastic bands on my socks - and often put ankle socks on me - they are called ankle socks for a reason - they didn’t go above the ankles - often came off my feet altogether and I often found them inside of my shoes - as to kecks (trousers), they were also several sizes too big and often had me wearing belts that never lasted long or braces that made me walk like a chimpanzee! Blame that on all that PG Tips!
I grew up in England in the 60's. Whenever my mother took me out " somewhere special " & didn't think I "looked up to scratch facially" she would spit on a hanky & wipe my face!... WHY? ... Were mothers specially trained to do that by their mothers in those days? ........YES it did happen! ......Thanks for reminding me Dave! NOT!........ RESPECT!
Thanks for uploading these classics - have loved Dave Allen since childhood :-) Anyone have a clue where I might find his 1986 New Year's Eve special, or a series I think was called Dave Allen And Friends? All help greatly appreciated! :-)
Love David my name was Mahoney before I got married iam also a Catholic we could be related who knows LOL he is the best at what he dose God Bless You David xx
Haha my goodness I remember the sock garters. Wow that's a scary memory of my childhood. They used to cut into your skin if they were too tight. Just glad they don't exist nowadays
I am 80 plus and when little my mother would wipe my face with her hanky and mucus and i could always smell that mucus. I hated it. so that is a very true story from Davy.
Brilliant. I'm 62 and till the end of my life, I'll regret that I never saw him in a live show.
yes, me too i would have paid anything to see him on stage... but I am 75 this year, I am French , and did not know him until a few years ago !
Dave Allen was a comic genius.There will never be another like him.
I agree total,i remember him from my youth and has never forgot him!
after him the diluje🤪😍
I am 63. My dad would never miss Dave on telly back in the 70s! Neither would we. Hillarious then! Still is now. Miss him.
Favorite line. See they made homosexuality legal. Pause drink. I am thinking of leaving before they make it compulsory
I am 53. I was allowed to watch him. Back in the days when people had a sense of humour. He would make us double up with laughter and what he says is so true.
He is awsome! I am having so much fun watching him!
Same with my dad and he was a very strict Roman Catholic.
You’re right, still funny
One of the best comedians EVER.
Hard to believe this is twenty years old and still makes me laugh like i.ve never seen it before classic, still remember taping this on a vhs tape when i was fourteen,
some things are eternal ! we all did the same mistakes with our kids ... but they survive !
Absolutely brilliant…can’t get tired of listening to him
What wonderful memories. This was the man in the 80's and 90's. A comic genius! Rip Dave 🙏
Thanks for the wonderful TV and buckets of laughs and wonderful sketches Dave, R.I.P. sir and " May your God go with you".
I used to be a fan of him when I was in England from 1971 to 1976 . Now I am in India I watch him every day it's nearly 2020 days away I tell yeah . Long live Dave Allen .

Irish humour, absolutely umbeatable !
I am certain every one of us can relate to his stories. We've all been there 😂😂
Speak for yourself. I've never had a facial tic while a dog humps my leg nor have i knocked people out of the way with enormous er knockers
I watching this now tears are rolling down my face Brilliant a genius rip dave allen u where the best
Ignore the 👎🏻 on this. Watch Dave and a bad day just disappears.....😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely bloody brilliant had me tears I wish I had saw him live
I wishing had followed him when I was much younger, I think I would have been a much happier person. Thanks for being there then and now
I was walking down Kensington Church St about the time this was filmed, and I saw Dave hanging out his window adjusting his window plant. I had a quick chat with him, and he was the nicest bloke you could wish to meet. A true friendly gent, and tremendously funny guy.
Love this man I listen 2 him every night when I go 2 bed what a waste of talent.RIP
'Look at your face'......brilliant! !!!!
What he says is so true! he's a one off and a classic
people like him should never die ! anyway for me he is still alive !

Yes, i agree- the 1993 ITV series was his peak- he went from being a superb sit down comedian to the best stand up of all.
Brilliant comic, brilliant storyteller, impeccable timing.....
Pure class miss him so much
Utter genius and oh-so missed. RIP.
The best. Cry with laughter. Always reminds me of my dad.
Genius...pure and simple...utter Genius..gosh he is missed...bless his heart..!
More than 20 years since I first, and last, heard him say this stuff and it's still comedy gold. R.I.P Dave.
Fantastic stuff- rare talent. God bless Dave
@keefy1106so why is it in one of these shows he talks about God? just saying
@keefy1106 Himself maybe, but he never sneered at anybody else's belif. He always ended 'May YOUR God go with you'.
@@David.L291Aren't disbelievers allowed to talk about God then?
No matter how crazy life is Dave always makes me laugh. Starving children! Now I'm OCD. Great training for adulthood dah 🤐 . Totally brilliant. Nobody has come near him.
Simply brilliant! This is comedy. Intelligent comedy
It is his talent for telling the story, it surpasses ordinary comedy - the storytellers are always the most valued out of All. I love that brain of his.
Timeless brilliance.
An absolute legend he was brilliant RIP 🙏 Dave
pullled my grandma absolutely "bananas" never heard this when I was in Ireland ... but this is very impressive !
Dave Allen is the best antidepressant.
+Paul S
Yes, I totally agree.
So true! !!!
Yes he is!🤗
yes, exactly, I watch him everyday and it makes me forget the big brain washing we are living these days !
@@marysepradet6515 that's a pleasant reminder, and much needed, thank you, have a good day.
the audience's laughter is just as contagious

Loved him he was cheeky without being profane, I had tears streaming down my face, I always had a stich from laughing so much Sadly missed.
Thankyou for sharing this. I remember it live and recorded it on vhs with a video recorder the size of a sherman tank! Lol
Been looking for this sketch. An absolute classic,from the very underated, but brilliant to those that loved him,-Dave Allen. R.I.P Sir and thanks for the laughs.
I don't believe he was underrated. Maybe we just didn't have this adoration cult for people on TV that people seem to be afflicted with nowadays
Comedians of today need to take a few lessons from this genius.
Best comedian ever. So miss him
CHRISTMAS EVE 2017....Having a blast!!!!!!! RIP DAVE>>>>may you be blessed!!!!!!!
Dave Allen was just too funny!
I watch Dave Allen every day !
We were lucky to grow up to Dave Allen in Australia
Utterly brilliant.

Why are you calling him a bugger. You do know the meaning of the expression??!!
‘My socks would not have come down in a hurricane!’ I just love him.
watch him EVERY DAY just can't get enough of him !

Blame that on all that PG Tips!
Oh my: When he said, "Look at your face" I swear, I was lucky to be sitting down. I absolutely buckled up, I'd have fallen.
"my socks would not have come down in a hurricane" OMG what a genius !
He was bloody hilarious
You are the one and only.how i miss you.🌿
My Ma made me a pair of garters like that, after 30 minutes your feet lost all feeling.

They were still doing it in the 70s and 80s because my mum did it. I think they still do, don't they?

Could you imagine Aunt Catherine’s funeral? From what Dave Allen says about her you’d need a JCB!
Haha my goodness I remember the sock garters. Wow that's a scary memory of my childhood. They used to cut into your skin if they were too tight. Just glad they don't exist nowadays
first class
I am 80 plus and when little my mother would wipe my face with her hanky and mucus and i could always smell that mucus. I hated it. so that is a very true story from Davy.
My mum was the same. Lol wiped my face with that stupid rag
That spit on the hanky was the worst. The smell of my mother's saliva, horrible.
Well “Mr David Allen” if you were Welsh then you could be David , Davey , Dave or Dai 🤗😀🏴
