I had the pleasure of seeing this performance in the theatre, it was absolutely brilliant, the laughes just kept coming, my stomach and face hurt by the end of the show, a really talented chap.
I watched this exact set live in Manchester, I was sat in the front row. Amazing performance. Knowing that this recording was taken in Liverpool, you have to tip your hat. Coogan made the right decision.
Just genius. Coogan has a right set of pins! And John Thompson as Bernard Righton, brilliant. Love Duncan Thickett. Genius. His Man Who Thinks He’s It show is excellent as well, saw it twice in 1998.
Two of just of the funniest lines from the Paul Calf diaries was when Spirros tells him, Paul, your Pauline in bed is like a big drill, a big Black an Decker, GRRRRRR, she wants to do it again an again, hahaha... Or you can't buy class, hey Paul where did you get your headlights from, halfords ! hahaha....
@@fredzep01 I was trying to agree. It's one of those lost in speech to text kind of things. I considered myself a fan of standup and had never seen these acts. Here in America we don't travel much farther than Ontario for foreign entertainment.... this is gold. New comedians are not filling shoes fast enough
@@Andrew-kn5qj Sorry mate, I wrongly assumed you meant, it's not super encouraging because only 12 up voted it. Anyway, all is saved, it now stands at 14, by this time next year it will be 33 haha.
He hasn't wavered once in the 35 years , he's as funny now as he was then. A true comic.
I wish Steve would do a one off comeback special of these characters, I bet it'd be dead good!

Great review for Bernard Righton but what about Pauline's performance ?

Ahhhh double dipped Strawbs they were the best. 😉👍🏻
Such a pity we didn’t see more of the great Duncan Thicket.
Been searching for the news gag at 19.40 for months - absolutely brilliant 😂
I loved Pauline. Wish she'd made an appearance more often.
Pauline is so 80's 🎉
Loved this show when was first released on video and it's just as good today.
Even when Paul Calf isn't saying anything I'm in stitches...
Earnest Moss..just brilliant, absolutely brilliant 👌🏻👌🏻
I just love that the Thickle character is literally a Woody Allen impression made British. Just brilliant.
Brilliant talent.
Paul Calf 1980s Renaissance man.

Brilliant. Not seen this in years
Wish there'd been more Duncan Thickett, just brilliant.
Absolute genius
Saw this in Blackpool way back, still funny😂
Paul Calf, funny as feck.
Absolutely brilliant.
Never knew he did this and it's brilliant
I really enjoyed that.
Thanks for this!
Can't believe he's in the next Joker movie, how far he's come
Comedy gold! 😂
I think my blindness was just cured. I only thought I knew comedy then I could see.
I still would. Any port in a storm!

To today's comedians, this is how it's done.
Well... 12 comedians agree. That's not super encouragiang

Remember school with all the posh kids? “Look at me look at me, I got matching shoes” Duncan Thicket
Paul Calf's Video Diary.😀
I once went on a date with a guy who turned up wearing a wooly hat like his. I never saw him again.
Must of beena baldy
Makes Ricky Gervais look like an amateur
I loved Bernard Righton
BAG O SHITE 😂😂😂
Would yah ae! I would? 1:08
Bring back Pauline!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Genius
Where's David Daft?
Where's "Camp David"?
@@Alan_Connorhere’s “Gayvid Grey the right bent pianist”
Duncan daft, not David
@@thomasedmundrichards Duncan Thicket and David Daft.
Lol 😂
Steve Coogan was funny once!
7:16 is that Amanda Holden?!
Shame the health and safety routine was cut short, it's much better than Paul Calf.
I look back now and think what a bag of shite it all was
Looks like many of my former girlfriends
same here... well except for the maroon velvet smoking jacket and bow tie
Classy !
Look a audience and it was nealry all white!
Saw this live. Hilarious. The woke police would be all over this if it was now!
By the “woke police”, who do you mean?
Seriously these shows need AI upscaling and put on to some kind of reasonably-priced Baby Cow streaming service.
Re- reasonably priced. Must not, I repeat not, turn into Amazon Prime.
