Dave Allen was so far ahead of his time. A brilliant comedian who used humour to show the many holes in religious dogmas.

@ontaka5997 2 года назад

The brilliant thing about Dave is, he doesn't sound angry, vulgar, or bitter, which many comedians sound when they talk about religion. He just tells his stories in good humor with an innocent face. He does tell many of his jokes from a "Child's" point of view.

I was lucky enough (or clever enough) in the 80's, to see his live performance. After 2 hours, at the encore, he came on stage to a huge applause … he picked up his glass of whiskey, looked at us, and said “F**k off home, it’s over!”😂😂

@button1ginger1 2 года назад

I saw him in the early 90s in London. He started off with a preamble about not being the sort to do encores and that when the lights go out, we needed to get going to catch the bus home. At the end, he walked off, leaving the stool, the bar table and his glass of whiskey and the lights went down. He walked off to an ovation. We carried on clapping long after the lights went out and then slowly, the lights went up. We cheered and clapped like crazy. He came back out on stage and we went nuts. He walked towards the stool and table, picked up his glass, looked at us like we were morons and waved us away. He then walked off and the lights went out again. We cried laughing during that show.

@mrnorthernspitfire3067 2 года назад

Your comparison to Billy Connolly is a valid one and one that I've made as well, they both deliver their jokes through storytelling but they both do it a different way. Dave Allen does it like how friends tell stories in a pub (sat down, relaxed, easy going,). Billy's delivery is like the fella that has you in stitches on your tea break with his loud, dramatic and animated stories. I grew up watching and listrening to these two, absolutely fantastic comedians.

The Black Cat analogy has been attributed to folks all the way back to Confucius. HL Mencken was the person that added the line about a theologian being the one that found it. All it then needed was a class act like Allen to deliver it. Imagine someone today being offered a half-hour prime time slot to rip into any religion he felt needed taking down a peg, I can't.

Saturday and Sunday evenings in the living room with mum and dad laughing our arses off to people like Dave, Victoria Wood, French and Saunders, Billy Connolly, Richard Digance, Des O'Conner, Julian Clary... So many great ones.

Loved DA and loved all of these - probably saw them when they were first aired. There are so many sketches based on how he felt about religion, especially Catholicism. He held the record for many years for the most complaints made over a single broadcast when one of the shows had a sketch of the Pope performing a strip tease. Some people have no sense of humour.

You have to remeber that when Dave Allen was doing this material in the 1970s there was far more offence caused to religious people. At the time even the Atheists in the Uk thought he was going straight to hell! LOL The reason he was or appeared polite and reserved was because if he wasn't his show would have never passed censorship and been ared on TV.

@bobbybigboyyes 2 года назад

We all grew up watching Dave Allen in the 60's and 70's. Dave made it big in England so the BBC gave him his own tv series. He loved to sit on his stool and have a whisky as he cracked jokes, nearly always about religion. After he was raised on it he hated it and knew what a joke it all was. You may have noticed he has half a finger missing. There is a lot of his stuff on RU-vid, and there are a few DVD's out too. Sadly he died but he was a genius! Have you seen Kenny Everett? He was zany with many incredible characters, Sid Snot, Cupid Stunt, and so many more! He floored all the opposition when his tv shows started in England in 1980. Luckily I recorded the lot on VHS back then. He did sketches every week with all his characters and with guest comedians, such as Billy Connolly and others, as well as rock stars on the show too. Here is Kenny showing how the world sees the US Military..... Hilarious!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0WI8_6acrh0.html

@Lumibear. 2 года назад

He was a delight. I recall that he kept getting into trouble at the time, for swearing or offending dignitaries and such, they tried to reign him in by approving his scripts beforehand word for word, but the man talked from brain to mouth and adapted to the audience reaction on the night, so you got what you got or you got nothing, he just could not be scripted like that.

In one sketch during the apartheid years he played a South African Pastor who finds a black boy in his church. He askes the boy what he is doing in a white church, the boy says cleaning. The pastor says 'That's OK but don't let me catch you praying' He could be political in his humour. As a comedian he was up there with the best and was clearly not only funny but very intelligent.

@rocon86 2 года назад

I'd say Dave Allen is the funniest and most intelligent Irish comedian we've ever exported from Ireland. He was years ahead of his time. He pointed out the religious absurdities that religious people and society think are normal, like swearing on a fictional book in court to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

David Allen tells his jokes in the form of the old Irish storytellers. Seanchaí (shan-a-key) were traditional Irish storytellers and the custodians of history for centuries in Ireland. They could recite ancient lore and tales of wisdom whenever it was needed and could be considered as something of the Google of ancient times. . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z3B_XKe7VRo.html

Classic stuff, so many of the younger crowd don't know the sort of stuff they've missed. Also I suggest buying a new gas strut for your chair, they're easy to get and not too expensive. One thing about them though, measure the length of the current strut at where you normally have it for sitting in the chair and buy the closest length of strut to that length for the replacement even if it's longer than the current one collapsed. Also worth buying a strut that is rated for more weight than is needed so it isn't stressed. The ones that come as standard with chairs are normally not good quality. The quality strut I use is now on it's second chair and showing no sign of problems.

I remember aged 4, 5 6 odd my dad would watch Dave Allen and be laughing like mad. He watched other comedians but never laughed as much. As a child I found the other comedians funnier as they'd have more gestures and funny voices which a child can access.
