The Best of Dave Allen- Part 1 of 7

Dave Allen (1936-2005) 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, God, traffic, smoking, the Bible, life and death. It is a vintage display from a unique raconteur, a man who observed our guilt, weaknesses and doubts and made us laugh at them and ourselves.
