Dave was a genius. I’m a Roman Catholic and I come from Very religious family, but we would sit down and watch his show every single week. We never took offence to anything he did. He was truly loved by everyone. A master at work. Yes his own show went on for years because he was so popular and loved. He was a wonderful human being and we miss him so much.The Dave Allen show was on British tv every weekend for many years. Great Reaction from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴😂😂😂😇😇🙏🙏
I love Dave Allen. He always ended his shows, "Goodnight and may your god go with you."
Dave was an absolute dude. Years ahead of his time for an Irishman, the church had absolute power back then in Ireland. Try to find a BBC documentary about his family and private life. He seems to be a fantastic dad and friend, a real original thinker that feared no one.
It's the soft Irish accent, what a lovely man he was, God rest his soul. Sadly missed.
Ahhh . . . The world's finest 'sit down' comedian.
Absolute gold!
His first show was called Dave Allen At Large which is a mixture of his standup and sketches it’s on UA-cam they are 5 series’s of that with a total of 33 episodes and ran from 1971 to 1979
That's the one !
Ha! Just beat me to it!
Same, it's definitely something to watch in your own time though, these are pretty long shows
His stand-up shows are hilarious as well, since he curses alot more in them you can tell he isn't under the rules & regulations of the BBC
He had a comedy/talk show called "Tonight with Dave Allen" in '67. "The Dave Allen Show" was broadcast in 1968. At Large started in '71. Before that he had an Australian show also called "Tonight with Dave Allen" in 1963. It was banned after 6 months after he told the show's producer, who was pressing him to go to an ad break, to "go away and masturbate" :-)
Oh, I used to watch this as a teenager with my adored dad, just he and I, laughing our butts off. He was a very successful businessman and a bit of a workaholic so those times are precious to me, always was a daddy’s girl from a toddler. He died in December 2022 in another state, I didn’t get to see him and our stepmother didn’t even tell us where his body was. No funeral, no nothing. I had been so close to him for so long, and at 62 he left me. Broke my heart. Thank you dad for the love of British comedy that you gave to me and which your grandson also adores. He has a large collection thanks to you. Miss you dad, and laughing together.
How heartbreaking for you, some people are just horrible, you and your dad two of the best ones
can you not find where he is buried???
Sorry for your loss 😢 but he did leave you one thing and that’s a comedian genius 😊
grew up with him on the tv as a kid....really funny and a genius of his craft
This is vintage Dave in the 70/80's and yes , there were usually a group of sketches in each show . In those days he was after the watershed entertainment .
Dave Allen made several tv shows in Australia and was popular there. Once, upon returning to the UK, Dave said that the Australians were very a nice and generous people. They would invite you into their home. Welcome you in and serve refreshments. Lovely people. "It's the white ones you got to watch out for" Dave said.
Plus he has a million reasons on how he lost his finger that is hilarious 😂😂
It was eaten away by strong drink once he kept his finger in a glass for an extended period of time.
Loved when he said he bit it off because he thought it wasn't his hand..
I thought it was, "THE CURSE of Four and a Half Fingers."
Always loved his stuck £10 note sketch.
that was brilliant , and also the shoe left in the haunted room ( i am presuming you know this story)
Always remember the sketch in the church with all the officials mouthing the words "have you farted?"
Dave Allen had a number of TV programmes/shows:
"Tonight With Dave Allen" 1967,
"The Dave Allen Show" 1968,
"Dave Allen at Large" 1971,
"The Dave Allen Show in Australia " 1975-77,
"Dave Allen's Summer People" 1976 U.S.A.,
"Dave Allen Live: On Life" 2021.
He's also been a guest on many other shows since the early '60s. His own shows were a mixture of stand up (often sit down in his case) and sketches.
Dave Allen shows were segments of stand-up with comedy sketches in between.
Stand-Up sitting down.
I had the good fortune to see Dave Allen perform live at the Albery Theatre (now the Noël Coward Theatre), London, in 1986.
I have such fond memories of watching him on TV when I was young.The fact that his work is still funny 50 years later is testament to his comedic skill.
I'm the same and will always watch any programme of his regardless of how many times I've seen it.
Dave Allen was my first exposure to British humor. I was a kid and during summer break from school I got to stay up late and stumbled on Dave Allen At Large on a local station in Nashville, Tennessee. This was in the mid to late 1970s. He looked just like this in the shows I watched back then.
He was Irish.
"If George Carlin was nice" is the most superb description of Dave Allen I've ever heard. 👏👏
Dave is alot like Billy Connoley in that it isn't the punch line that gets you, it's the story telling leading up to that! Both fantastic comedians / observationists!
Yes Dave Allen did have his own show which was very popular!
I think Dave Allen is the best story teller I have ever seen amongst comedians. He also has a very laid back style.
Extremely intelligent man.
Here we all are 45 years later, sharing in the laughter. Now that is comedy at its best. Timeless. Thanks for the great memories Dave.
I used to watch him regularly here in Canada. Brilliant comic timing & I can still remember the religious jokes! 😂
I love the tradition of Irish storytelling and Dave Allen is an example par excellence.
Yes my mam loved him everything he did was genius god bless from 70s
Can’t beat a bit of Dave Allen 😂
He was a legend ❤
One of Ireland's finest, so glad to see you react to Dave. Hi from the north of the island!
Through the 1960s Dave appeared on other people's shows in Britain, South Africa and Australia, but from the late sixties he was almost always on his own show. They tended to be late evening and consisted of his sit down comedy story telling, with skits, usually visual with little or no dialogue to break it up. The clips where he looks younger were from the seventies from his BBC show Dave Allen at Large. He was less seen in the eighties but returned in the nineties first at the BBC and finally on ITV. He essentially retired in 1997 and died in 2005 aged 68.
Your Majesty, Mr. Dave Allen had a TV show in the 1970's, called "Dave Allen At Large"....hope you can find more of his shows. He's a very funny guy!
A bar stool, a drink, a cigaret and an hour of Dave Allen every Saturday in the 70's. He rewrote the rulebook for British censorship...and actually, there is one sketch, where he crams all the swearwords he can think of, as a response of some complaints of Dave saying "fuck" in a previous show. Found the clip: ua-cam.com/video/4IfoUM6a4bA/v-deo.html
Yeah, I remember him flicking the cigarette ash from his trouser leg as he took another swig from his clearly meant to be alcoholic drink. Sadly, a negative role model for me when I secretly started smoking at the end of the 70s. I too am an atheist, otherwise would love to meet him from a chat, smoke and a drink “upstairs” ….
He does a routine on teaching kids time.
Genius routine.
As a child I loved him, still do. Dave Allen at large on bbc 2
Yea was a show but I find him just sitting telling jokes the best part xxx
He is one of the best ever 😂
I watched Dave Allen on TV in New Zealand when I was a teenager, family and I never missed a show. His shows were always (as we saw them anyway) on stage with him sitting in his chair in front of a live studio audience and filmed for TV, and inserted with skits he filmed through the week. There was NO swearing on TV in those days.
Indeed. Most families I know do not like it. I remember my mother and me trying Rialto when it was opened, and we turned it off because of the swearing in one foreign film.
Every second word had a swear word. We changed the channel, and still have never gone to it.
@@shauntempley9757 Are you sure you're replying to the right youtube thread?
@@cadifan No. I am simply showing how bad swearing has gotten in tv over 50 years.
Just from Dave, to today, it is awful. Stand Up comedy is even worse than what I typed.
@@shauntempley9757 Oh ok. People these days are generally less anal about swearing, it doesn't bother me, it's just normal everyday speech that some people are still uptight about.
When you said you don't think he swears that much:
He had two modes, no swearing whatsoever, and swearing like an absolute trooper. I assume this was mainly down to what time the shows were intended to be on at. Either way though, he was always hilarious.
Dave Allen had several shows.
And sketches was a part of every episode.
My dads favourite comedian growing up
Mine too and he was an undertaker for years🤣
Same
Yes he did have his own show, and he often done sketches in it
Nose knickers had a surge in popularity around four years ago.
Dave Allen didn't use bad language on his television shows, but he did use some expletives in his live stage shows. I had the good fortune to see him at the theatre towards the end of his career. He was hilarious for the whole show. I laughed so much my ribs hurt and tears rolled down my cheeks!
He may not have used many expletives on his tv shows but there were usually plenty of complaints!
One of his best pieces was about travelling on an airplane.
As a girl from Tyrone I remember black and white TV back in the 70s. My family was very Catholic yet I remember one night watching him on TV with my parents. He told a story about boys in a Catholic cemetery. He told it for at least 20minutes, then he said the punch line. We all laughed old and young. He was a genius but I preferred him on the stool with his cigarette than the skits he did later.
Dave's TV shows included -
The Dave Allen Show (1968)
Dave Allen At Large (1971-1979)
Dave Allen (1990)
Dave Allen had his own shows in the UK and he came out here to Australia for several seasons. He was kicked out of the catholic church. He also didn't swear much he offended people without working blue I mean you could take your grandmother to his shows and she wouldn't be upset at what she heard she'd probaly have a good time.
There's a 90 minute video called "Dave Allen Live on Life", featuring some classic stand up routines related to life. One of my favourites on there is the one about how the telephone is treated differently in the time of recording as to when Dave was younger. Also there's a classic called "Is Ed in" within that video where explained teenagers turning into neanderthal men and not being able to understand them, fecking hilarious!! 🤣
He was an absolute legend, he had his own show for years, I still remember watching it in the 70's, it was one of those shows the whole family would watch together and wouldn't miss, he always seemed a bit more cutting edge than most other comics at the time too, then 'Alternative Comedy' first appeared on TV in 1982 with the show 'The Young Ones' starring Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson from Bottom which you love, and that changed the comedy landscape in the UK overnight, alternative comedy as it was coined started in the Comedy Store in London and involved a large circle of comics who went on to make a long running series of films together which were hilarious, the series was called 'The Comic Strip Presents', I have the DVD boxset which has 39 films on it, would be great to see you react to one!
Despite some (ok, a lot) of his material being potentially divisive, he seemed to be universally popular.
Dave Allen and Billy Connolly were my favourite comedians growing up in the 70s. Thanks.
He has a great sketch about 2 old folks having a duel.
yes he did have his own show The Dave Allen show
man i have watched this 100s of times haha
The music plays DRINK DRINK from The Student Prince when the guys go to the pub. Brilliant.
He had a few shows over the years.. Dave Allen at large.. The Dave Allen show etc
Way ahead of his time, the best in his day and still way ahead of anything on offer in the UK/Ireland today
I still remember the pain from my stomach and whole body from laughing at Dave Allen, and we were so happy when we got video recorders so we could watch him back and get the bits we missed. And cue the laughter again...
The clips where he looks young are from the '70s, I remember watching them at the time. He had great timing.
He used to come on TV on Saturday evenings for a number of episodes per season. Probably the latter half of the 1970's and into the 1980's. So yes he did have his own weekly shows.
The Dave Allen Show. For years through the 70s/80s.
Please react to Dave Allen Supermarkets. It is hysterical and you will never look at food shopping in the same way again. Keep the reactions coming, your channel is brilliant. 🇬🇧😀
Yes, Dave had his own show, with sketches as well as the stand-up (well, sit-down) comedy. I think there may be some of his show "Dave Allen at Large" in UA-cam. There's another wonderful religious monologue of his about being sent to a convent school.
did the bishops shoes go over your head lol?
That would be a Bishop's hat!
No idea who George Carlin is, but Dave Allen will be loved forever 🇬🇧
I worked with his brother in the late 80's. Met him a few times, really nice guy.
My treat was to watch Dave with my dad, we both have the same sense of humour and loved this guy ❤
Hi K.B., I was really hoping you would watch this with Q.B., but I`m glad you enjoyed it. He is greatly missed !! I used to watch his shows in the late `60`s & through the `70`s. When you started to hear his familiar theme tune, you quickly sat in your chair eager to watch. The only one`s I missed was due to the 3-day week in the `70`s, power blackouts for hours on end on a rota system.
Grew up with Dave Allen. His jokes were easily relatable .. hilarious 😂
Back in the 60s he always had a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other. From time to time he'd say, my glass is empty, so it's time for some sketches - cue sketches. I was a boy then and didn't understand many of the jokes but I loved the sight gags. RIP.
dave allen was a pioneer in this, noboby as smart as and/or bold.
Yep - there was "The Dave Allen" show, in the 70s, and probably into the 80s.
The village with Inn and pond featured in the funeral sketch isn't Irish at all, it's English: Aldbury in Hertfordshire. It was a popular TV location from the 1960s onwards, most notably for the surreal spy series 'The Avengers' (most famously "Murdersville"). It is surprisingly little changed even today as a visit via Google maps will confirm.
My ex used to think Dave Allen was Pierce Brosnan's father lol so now when I see him I cannot help but think of him as a 007
Anyway great stuff, glad someone else has mentioned this guy's original series and shows, fantastic they are preserved on here!
Cheers King!
13:34 Yes he did, on the BBC. He had two shows: The Dave Allen Show and Dave Allen At Large. It was a golden age for comedy back in the 1970's and 80's. 17:40 Dave used to end his shows by saying "Goodnight, and may your God go with you." He never meant to offend anybody with his religious jokes, and nobody was.
I loved Dave's sketches, the race to the graveyard cracks me up every time
He had series of shows for many years thru the 70's and 80's? BBC and ITV?
Dave Allen at Large was the tv show ha did on the BBC. He was taken off the air, by the BBC in 1990 for "offensive language" in broadcasting, for a joke.
"You wake to the clock, you go to work to the clock, you clock-in to the clock, you clock out to the clock, you come home to the clock, you eat to the clock, you drink to the clock, you go to bed to the clock, you get up to the clock, you go back to work to the clock... You do that for forty years of your life and you retire - what do they fucking give you? A clock!"
That was a time when you were not allowed to use fowl language on TV.
Allen was known for satirising of religious ritual, especially Catholic ones, every week in his shows, you could of powered the whole of the UK for a day, from the Catholic's crossing themselves when he was on the air on a Saturday night, so much conectic energy was created.
Hey King B, have you considered reacting to "Celebrity Juice", a comedy quiz show presented by Bo Selecta creator Leigh Francis who plays the quiz show host "Keith Lemon"? The quiz has several of the Bo Selecta characters including the Bear, who gets his own regular "The Bear Grills" slot. It features several celebrity guest panellists and can get a bit raunchy (the show originally aired on late night Itv2) but the full episodes are available on UA-cam, at least here in the UK.
Hey just to let you Dave was Irish and i loved watching him cos well im Irish his show was cutting edge at the time..❤❤
Used to watch his comedy shows in the 70's he was one of the only Comedians I actually enjoyed. never once did he need to drop an F bomb to get a laugh. his comedy skits were Hilarious. great seeing some of these again
I loved Dave Allen I used to watch him all the time
His program was called ' Dave Allen at Large.
Check out Dave Allen teaching his son the time
Yeah enjoyed that laughed out loud a few times at work
I remember watching Dave Allen for years as a child. Some of his humour took a bit of growing up to appreciate due to the religious background. But his humour was always watchable for all people of all ages. Except maybe the religious.
This guy is amazing, Anything by him is hysterical.
There is a documentary about him that tends to come out at Xmas on the BBC and if memory serves at his request his stuff doesn’t get repeated, if the tapes even still remain. Worth a watch but with so little clips out there the comedy stuff used you prob will have seen if you can find it.
I saw him live in London and he was brilliant
Lee Evans did a variation on that Gideon joke and his delivery was hilarious 😂
He had a show called "Dave Allen at Large"
Dave Allen is one of the great stand ups. His shows on TV were brilliant. Years later I saw him live. He was always top-notch.
He is sitting in that chair and telling stories between sketches in His shows.
Hes was rhe best. And the impressive thing about him was when he died, he didnt wsnt his shows repeated on tv because it stops new acts
He also did the Dave Allen show in Australia. But I don't remember how many episodes.
He had his own show for 8 years
Yes, he had a very popular tv show on the BBC.
Love the work you do. I watch every video you post. Showing some love to the Boomer Royal Family 😊
Dave Allen was a massive Laurel and Hardy fan as you can guess with the fast motion slapstick 😊
Yes dave had a few shows. All great.
Bit of context here - you've got to know that this early religious stuff was so close to the knuckle. The day after a Dave Allen show was full of people who thought it outrageous and those who thought it hilarious. Early shock humour, but boy refreshing and so needed.
You have been watching the TV show "Dave Allen At Large" that ran on BBC TV from 1971 - 1979
Yes he was a great storyteller.
Another great story teller of that that tome was Les Dawson, although he also did one-liners.
I went to see dave Allen in London aldwych I was round on the floor crying with laughter and I went with a friend she was from Sweden and she didn't understand why I was laughing so hard and he brought everyone In the front row a drink sad he is dead he was total class❤
