Truly an inventive, brilliant, comic genius. It takes a great deal of guts, and an incredible mind to be as funny as this in standup comedy in front of a live audience. No props (other than his drink, his stool, and the microphone), and the rest pure creative genius. Dave was so remarkably good at this, and I miss him and his superb comedy.
I don't know where the hell I've been? I never saw or heard him prior to tonite. I've been sitting here in hysterics for about 3 hours. Gonna share with a multitude of people. We all need his humor, especially in today's screwed-up world. THANX
When I was a kid in the 70s,my brother and I would watch and laugh to Dave Allen. I'm certain that my brother being much older got many more of the jokes. I never forgot about him but am only now revisiting his shows and laughing hysterically at his humor...........Thank you Dave.
I thought exactly the same the first time I saw him, a few months ago, now I can't spend a day without watching him, and I also try to share him with all my friends, but not so many French know English after all ... and you must have a little bit of English to understand, even if he his such a good comedian that you can understand many things from his gesture
@Slave2PaperWithInkOn Just had a look at this sketch. A very similar style to an extent. Thanks for the mention of George Calin. I will look further at his work. Chicken or the Egg first, I don't know, perhaps you do or they perhaps evolved at about the same time. George is entertaining in this only one I have seen! Cheers from John, Australia. ua-cam.com/video/vuEQixrBKCc/v-deo.html PS: Look up the Goons as well as the TWO Ronnies!!
No wonder me Ma never let me watch him in the 70's .... My Da used to piss himself laughing at him. - Classic, now I can catch-up. - Brilliant Post. 🇮🇪 👍
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. AMAZING TALENT. - JUST A WONDERFUL COMIC. CONGRATULATIONS DAVE YOU WHERE THE BEST. IF I NEED A GOOD BELLY LAUGH YOU WERE THE MAN.
in the name of the father , of the son and into the hole he goes" honestly, don't you have to be a genius to find this ? people like Dave Allen should never die !
Speaks from the heart from his life experiences just honest views which wouldn't see the light of day now because it would upset do gooders sad life in 2019 😢
Dave was a Neighbour When l Lived in Kensington in the 1980s. l was Walking back from a Party through Holland Park one Sunday Morning still dressed in Evening wear. Dave was Walking towards me abour 20 feet away..he was going to his Car.. we just looked at each other Nothing was said... He knew...he was Grinning from ear to ear & so was l.We just nodded to Each other & That was that. Nice Guy.
Truly a man for all seasons and all reasons be they overbearing parents or mad priests..like so many of us just couldn't work out their mentality Miss him soooooo much...
I just recently found about about Dave, would you mind explaining the joke? I watched the bit where he explained how to look at a clock, but I must have missed something
i just realise one thing now :many people put their children in a religious college because they can rely on them to educate the children, instead of having to it themselves , but bad, very bad choice on my advice sorry for my approximate English, I just love Dave Allen, and I am sad to hear many Irish did not like him because of this bloody catholic religion, I mean he was such a genius !
me as a teenager had a hobby so boys were always on the back burner, it wasn't till I was nearly 30 when i got married and I think nowadays there is too much pressure of teenagers to have boyfriends or girlfriends they are not allowed to grow up in their own time. Me I have had a fantastic life and won't change it for all the tea in china.
Sadly, I was actually banned from a Lidl store in Blackpool and my alleged crime was mimicking Dave Allen. The young checkout woman was not amused. She reported me to the assistant manager who then banned me from the store. Told me I was not welcome. The young bird on the checkout did not have any sense of humour. In 2024 woke UK and more-so in Blackpool hardly anyone has a sense of fun or a sense of laughter. But beware of trying to crack a joke in either Aldi or a Lidl store. You'll be in very serious trouble. The assistant manager at this particular Lidl store looks like Mr Bean. I did report this guy to the head office of Lidl but they sided with their Gestapo-style assistant (plonker) of a manager.
When the Sisters said Christ died for Dave, now remember Dave had never heard of God before this day.....they said Christ died 2000 years ago.....now the Young Dave and I quote said, "you can't blame me for Christ sake, I am only 4".........He might not know about God or Jesus but he knew how to blaspheme, God bless his little heart!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Classic irreverence of the first order. 14 farts multiplied by 500 passengers on a jumbo jet - statistically very smelly. And his take on the father, the son and the holy ghost - remarkably incisive - and statistically likely to scare the shit out of most of us. But that's the way God planned it - apparently. .
I think this guy funny and non-offensive from as far back as I can remember even when religious. May your gods go with you was a nice to touch. Sadly, religion has been laughing at you fools for a long time. You lot need an invisible god more than police or government. Why hate something that doesn't exist. You don't hate Santa or others acting like him. Sadly, no one can act like this god you imagine. I think I know what your lots problem is: you can't outsmart this all-knowing and all-powerful being able to tell you are evil and reject you from a better life (suffer will be your reward). See why I like him: "Teach those fools what it feels like meeting them!"
Dave Allen, the best stand up comic EVER!!!.......

The best stand up comedian ive ever seen
A legend from a forgotten time. A standup genius 🤣
Not forgotten!
This never gets old. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The most brilliant dismantling of the lunacies and sadism of organised religion --- and with so many laughs too. Unique!
If you don't like organized religion, you should try disorganized religion.
I watch at least one sketch of Dave everyday, it is my medecine, love him, he his a genius !
I don't know where the hell I've been? I never saw or heard him prior to tonite. I've been sitting here in hysterics for about 3 hours.
Gonna share with a multitude of people. We all need his humor, especially in today's screwed-up world. THANX
Dave Allen is a legend comic genius. I'm glad you have found him!!!
Your education begins!!

Don't worry, he was controversial enough in his time..
People say a lot worse than that nowadays 😂 he doesn’t say anything offensive in this?
Dave Allen ... a genre all on his own! A pity some of the interchange conversations were almost inaudible.
Best ever, he worked for our local newspaper in Ireland as a journalist, he was a gifted comedian, it was natural.
30 odd years ago and he is still an absolute GENIUS and makes me laugh out loud! Miss and love Dave Allen so very much. Bless you x
The Gestapo in drag🤣🤣🤣🤣. What an absolute legend

Jesus wasn't nailed to a boomerang, so he ain't coming back!😅
Laughed years ago at his show . Still laughing . Genius !

(Only a Dave Allen fan will get it..)
I just recently found about about Dave, would you mind explaining the joke? I watched the bit where he explained how to look at a clock, but I must have missed something
So true and sooo funny. My 16 year old son eats everything and leaves the empty packet or carton back in the fridge.
Hope God appreciates Dave's humour ha ha 😇🤣 you can't blame me I'm only four .
Love him so much❤️❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂
In the name of the Father the Son and into the hole he goes....ROTFLMAO!!!!!!...i'm a christian and i laughed for 3 hours on that 1.

A REAL comedian
An excellent observer of people politics ;-)
I agree with you Beth 😊🍀🍁😉👍
i just realise one thing now :many people put their children in a religious college because they can rely on them to educate the children, instead of having to it themselves , but bad, very bad choice on my advice sorry for my approximate English, I just love Dave Allen, and I am sad to hear many Irish did not like him because of this bloody catholic religion, I mean he was such a genius !
One of the greats,
Censoring bad language from Dave Allen? Really? How do you sleep at night?
Excellent. So funny after a shit day. Thank you Dave Allen. God bless you 😂

Same.
WonderFul. As good as it gets.

If god is everywhere why isn’t he in the cupboard and under the stairs too
Only a catholic knows the discourse in the religion ..Rip..
He was an Atheist because of his Catholic upbringing.
OMG ! religion is the plaigue for Ireland !
