Really Surprised!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

He's gone on to find the balance between being a comedian and a comic actor, but if ever there was a good example of Peter Kay at his best doing stand-up then this is it.Good, old fashioned style humour, based on everyday observations. It's great stuff, and has the audience in stitches.Less sweary than his previous tour, and certainly less than the 'tour that didn't tour' DVD, this is an enjoyable 80 something minutes, displaying a guy at the peak of his comic powers.It's comedy like this we need right now. Well done Peter Kay for this great DVD.

Forget Billy Connoly or Lee Evans Peter Kay is the best comedian there is. The one he done in Blackpool was good but his best stand up has got to be at the Bolton Albert hall in front of his own home crowd. He does phoenix nights as well but probably better at stand up. He does a new show called Max and Paddys road to nowhere which is genius he is pure genius. He makes great jokes like knock!knock! who's there Bigish! Bigish who not today thanks. I Hope he makes many new live shows hes done a lot of them around Gritain but many of the same jokes and he brings many more out on DVD because he is hilarious.WATCH PETER KAY HE IS Brilliant!!!

Peter Kay appears in front of a large audience of his Northern brethren and goes through a routine that runs just under an hour. Kay runs through a range of observations made against his own life growing up in the North (where it, as I understand it, is grim). From drunken dancing at weddings, watching Bullseye or taping the top 40 charts off the radio, he covers a range of subjects – but this is also a weakness.Outside of the group that will be familiar with what he is talking about (not many outside the UK I'd reckon) he isn't going to get many laughs, but I suppose I'm in the UK so it shouldn't matter – but it does. The problem I had with the show was that it never gets close to the inventiveness and wit of Kay's TV shows (specifically Phoenix Nights), instead it more or less just picks easy targets – dancing at weddings, drunken relatives, rubbish television shows and so on. It is amusing in a 'oh yeah' type of way but I must admit that I wasn't roaring with laughter as much as the (badly timed) cuts to audience were. I say badly timed because the odd time it is apparent that the individuals are not actually laughing at that specific joke but I suppose the important thing is that they were laughing at that moment.The material won't travel well but it is worth seeing if you are in a relaxed mood. Ironically Kay seems happy to be just a notch above the working men's clubs that he lampoons so wonderfully in Phoenix Nights but the crowd (a rough looking lot) seem to enjoy it a great deal and I suppose that if you're a fan of his type of humour then you'll enjoy this too. I did identify with the people and situations he joked about and I did laugh a handful of times but basically I didn't think he stood out from many other stand ups who also do the 'have you ever noticed…' stuff but do it better. Kay is better than this.

Only kidding of course!!! What can you say about this show, apart from it's brilliant. The 'Blackpool Tower' show was a good gig, still is in fact, but this one is in a different league. He's definitely the most naturally funny man on the planet. It's not so much what he says, it's the way he says it. His observations of life, his delivery, his funny shape ,with that northern wit and Bolton accent combine to great effect. To be honest i don't want to see this vd again for about another year or so, because i've seen it so many times, but i still laugh hard at it. The tour was a virtual sell-out, so he must have made enough money to 'buy his mum a bungalow' by now!!
