The Best Of Dave Allen DVD   2 Entertain

Dave Allen was an alternative comedian before the phrase existed, an innovator who set the agenda for comedy - and comedians - for more than 30 years. Here is his personal choice of sketches, gags and monologues that wickedly target the foibles of our age. With suit, a stool and a glass of something he was in his element, reflecting laconically on such diverse subjects as sex, the Irish and God, traffic, smoking, the Bible, life, and death. It's a vintage display from a unique raconteur, a man who observed our guilt, weakness and doubts and made us laugh at them and at ourselves.
