Product Description
Compilation of favourite gags, routines and observations, selected from across the groundbreaking comedian's thirty years in showbusiness and including trenchant reflections on life, death, smoking and the nature of the Irish, all delivered from his trademark stool with a glass of whisky in hand.
Amazon.co.uk Review
When Dave Allen passed away in March 2005, we lost a true comedy great. Sitting cross-legged on a high stool, whiskey in one hand, cigarette in the other, Dave Allen's exasperated commentaries on the absurdities of modern life struck a chord with millions of fans in Britain, Ireland and Australia for over four decades. He was a compelling storyteller -- able to spin shaggy dog stories out of the almost any subject, including the missing tip of his fourth finger of his left hand, for which he provided various unlikely explanations. But his gentle, laconic wit could also give way to ferocious attacks on the media, the state and, most famously, the Catholic Church. He was a unique talent -- a comic who could make his audiences laugh, cry, and be shocked, all in one. Here he is with his personal choice of sketches, gags and monologues.

sorted byI Love Dave Allen's comedy, already have this DVD.
Brilliant comedian on a stool telling jokes and part of a finger missing. Caused controversy on BBC before going to ITV with this 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

They seem to change the price now (edited)
NEW = £4.99 via Prime, Not eligable for prime if used copy purchased.
65p, if not 40p (it's the nature of Amazon that the prices are so...fluid) for a USED copy, but, as NOT eligiable for prime delivery, add £2.15.
I also had the "Not eligable for delivery to your address" message (in red) pop up (came out, went back in, it was gone)
BTW
You may wanna check-out WOB (World Of Books) in general. THIS offering is currently on offer @ £3.59 "LIKE NEW"
It's good ter have options methinks, especially with limited availability
