    My Dad (RIP) watched Dave all the time. I remember him sitting in his chair in the living room chuckling away. Such great memories. As a kid I never understood the jokes. I do now and I'm laughing and smiling for me....and for my Dad! 🙏

      Nigol66. I was watching this for the same reason. My dad passed two weeks before his birthday last August and he was a big fan of Dave Allen. We really resonated with the Catholic humour as he was raised a Catholic too. We always found his sketches so hilarious and always think of my dad when I watch him. This is my way of spending time with my dad over Christmas as it’s my first Christmas without him. RIP to our dads and to the amazing comedian Dave!!! he brought us so much laughterAnd I’m so grateful for the times we spent together enjoying his humour🥂💗💯💯⭐️✨💫

    My Dad R.I.P. was the exact same he loved watching Dave Allen back in the 80s & 90s when I was a kid growing up in Ireland. Dave was he's favorite comedian of all time. I can still picture him sitting in the bosses chair, as he used to call it, laughing so much that he had tears in his eyes. I of course hadn't a clue why. If only my dad knew his real surname was Tynan, the same as ours...I could imagine my dad saying if he knew that fact back then..that makes sense alright. Lol always makes me smile. Comedy Genius David Tynan legend. R.I.P.

  • @DavidStowers-o7k

    Not just one of Britain's greatest verbal comedic talents,
    Dave Allen showed the absurdity in the everyday, the
    mundane and most of all, a humans capacity for both
    good and evil in a way that only someone without a sense
    of humour would ignore.
    It didn't matter if a belief in the supernatural was required,
    to Dave, all that mattered was if you laughed, then he had
    done his job.
    He never treated his audiences as if they're a bunch of ill
    informed idiots, only there to be insulted, for him it was a
    privilege to make you laugh, to think and with any luck, to
    leave his shows with a new-found hope for the future.
    Although he's no longer with us, he'll live on in our hearts
    and memories.
    To Dave Allen, gods favourite Atheist, Rest In Peace.

    Dave Allen was a unique and very great comic talent. Outwardly, he was urban, relaxed and charming to a fault. Inwardly, he was driven by rage and anger against the mundane and the banal in everday life and Establishment hypocrisy wherever he found it, whether in the church or state. His humour was observational and personal but universal in its appeal. It spoke to, and for, us. I miss him still.

    Dave Allen's urbane, observational, comedic style drew from a deep well of anger and sardonic contempt for the totems of the Irish society in to which he was born: church; state, class. He exposed hypocrisy where he saw it and railed against the absurdities of the age in which he lived wherever he saw them. He was a true original. I can think of no comedian in my lifetime who I miss more.

    I'm delighted to find this. Dave Allen was my dad's favorite comedian. This reminds me of growing up in the 80s in Ireland watching this with him. Now introducing my American wife to his fantastic comedy.

    These skits and jokes were a great memory test for me and surprisingly I could still recall the punchlines for many of his classics. Proper comedy in an era when the world had a sense of humour and people weren't afraid of taking the piss.

      Trust me Davinia my friend my own fantasies change so much that my own paradise would be my own hell depending on time and my mood. BTW my paradise has no problems with sex, liqour, food choices ... I only insist that genuine belly laughter is a must. Dear Dave provides excellent laughter, may my soul stay near his ... wherever I go while I am alive or when I die.

As a cross-cultural attempt he showed them the video of "The Life of Brian".They sat dutifully thru the movie, but laughed uproariously only at the skit where Brian falls into a crater and lands on the foot of a Monk who breaks 30 years of silence with an "OWW"!"
