he was my saturday night stay up late treat, as a 8 yr old in the late 70's seeing my nan n grandad howl with laughter was a joy, i got some of his jokes but obv a lot went over my head but seeing him now on youtube ...its just pure genius
Agreed. I have a friend in America and he had never heard of him. I suggested that he looked online at him. He is hooked. Another one which American's have not heard of is a comedy called Red Dwarf. There is now an appreciation group called Dwarfers. It is hilarious. I constantly watch both of these after a rough day.
He worked as a journalist for 2 of our local newspapers in county Louth years ago in Ireland, the papers arecalled the democrat and the argus, but the democrat was called the Drogheda independent at the time when Dave Allen was there
I first experienced Dave and his brilliant humor back in the early 70's as a teenager in Canada and Loved his comedy then. Now as an older adult, returning to his humor and wit has helped me with dealing with the occasional depression that accompanies daily living. I'm very grateful for that relief😁
It's been a while since I cried with laughter but this guy always gets me. The 1 where he's teaching his child the time is priceless, tho thinking about it everything he does is hilarious and priceless.
yes , me too, I am glad there are transcriptions because I am French and my English is not perfect, but I can't spend a single day without watching Dave, and now I found another humorist very much alike his humour, she is called Pam Ayres,
Agreed he always was a comedic genius, fantastic actor as well. I was born in 1975 and can vaguely remember his early shows,however I was lucky enough to watch him throughout the eighties, nineties up until his death RIP. My mum introduced me to Dave, she was forever watching him on tv, apparently when he was younger he looked a lot like her ex boyfriend.
I do listen to him everyday, he is a bit like GOD to me, especially during this mondial tragedy we are living ... wonder what Dave Allen would have thought of this
when i first saw dave allen in 2013 i was literally rolling on the floor with laughter, i watched dave allen telling the time, i wish he was still around.
When I was a lad I used to watch him with my dad. The jokes went over my head I didn't have a scooby doo ..But now I am at that age where I can appreciate the more subtle jokes...also that there is no f..ing this and f..ing that...one of the best comedians there was in my opinion .....👍👍👍😎🇬🇧..
Growing up in the 70’s there was many comedy shows or sitcoms about which you thought were brilliant. If watched now there’s not that many you could really say you still find funny. But Dave Allen to me was different, he has never aged, as in what he talks about or his sketches he did have never dated. His talks to his audience on life and everyday problems, are still happening in today’s world.
My late dad loved Dave Allen so despite the language I was allowed to watch it from an early age! I remember sitting on his knee watching the funeral race sketch & laughing so much!
What a great comedian dave allen was I still lol hes up there with les dawson bob monkhouse and all the other greats we will never c the likes of them again truly epic
yes, I am French and do not have good English, but same as you, only heard of him a few days ago, and I absolutely adore him, he makes me laugh like nobody did, watch him every day, several times, can't stop about it !
He was Irish, from Dublin, a very close neighbour to the UK, so we knew him well. I missed his humour very much when he died, he was very gifted, and an excellent Comedian. Sadly he died in 2005. and the only comedian that i loved and respected
Such a delightfully funny man. I saw him live in Reading a few years ago and the entire audience found his performance brilliant! I shall never forget that evening!
The older he got the funnier he was. He NEVER fails to make me laugh even if i have seen it before!Everybody says I should be a comedian and my sense of humour is very dry like Dave Allen. Strangly enough I hate most comedians because they come across as loud mouthed attention seekers. Comedians that lots of people think are hilarious really irritate me. They try too hard and swear too much. Dave Allen swears just enough to emphasise his frustration about whatever subject he is talking about. It's so sad that he didn't live longer and continue to mock today's society. I may have to do it for him! THIS MAN WAS SENSATIONAL AND MADE IT LOOK EFFORTLESS.
2:32 our precious daughter would NOT HAVE A BAR OF THIS!! Would scream murder until “free” of this confining approach. I totally get it, can never understand the infernal wrapping up of babies!!
Here in America in Pittsburgh Pa WPGH TV use to carry his show back before becoming a Fox affiliate back in the early 80's right after Benny Hill, always loved his show, great seeing it here.
Brilliant, he makes me LAUGH. When I try listening to new comedians, they dont make me laugh. They must have poor writers behind them nowadays, as I know Ken Dodd had 3 writers for his stage work.
I know of NO-ONE alive or dead that could hold an audience in absolute hysterics like Dave Allen.He was a one off on every way
moreover I know of no one expressing human behavior so bloody accurately and describing how fools we are🤪 when we pretend to know all and yet..... 🤯🤪
The best comedian ive ever heard.

Most Americans have never heard of this man yet he he is one of the greatest comedians of all time.
I'm a American I've known him for quite a long time. I used to watch him on PBS in the mid 70's.
@Buffalo 66 Yea, you're right, so I deleted the comment, its not the peoples fault. :)

The hour hand is the first hand, the minute hand is the second hand and the second hand is the third hand.
I watched him growing up, and I'm still watching him. I absolutely love him ❤️
A raconteur, an observer of human behaviour & a genuinely funny man. Sadly missed, Dave Allen is one of my favourite comedians.
One of the best ever.
The greatest comic story tellers of all time. Thanks to youtube I can revel in his whit whenever I feel like it
Wit, not whit.
what a genius. cant beat the old ones. still has me in tears.
I could listen to this true comic genius everyday and still cry with laughter. Absolutely Brilliant
I actually watch him every day, especially this one !

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME nobody makes me laugh like him !
Dave Allen is a man who will always be remembered by me and many more of his fans.
Good comedy. Did enjoy. Many thanks.
I just heard of this man for the first time and I'm crying so much.
A brilliant brilliant comic he was the Greatest . Loved the sketches in the Dave Allan Shows always hillarious . He is graetly missed .😍😍😍😍😍
A brilliantly funny and thought provoking comic. The best weve ever had.
can't get enough of Dave Allen, watch him EVERY DAY !

It felt like a personal loss when died. I remember at school the day after his show retelling the jokes. He is still the master.

I born in Africa and we growing up watching him 🤣RIP Dave
Theese episods i have been searched for in many years, i newer forgot this from my youth, this is one of the best he has made!🤗
Dave Allen is a genius. And he becomes one by observing things that anyone of common sense could observe, but doesn't.
+Michael Price
WAS a genius. WAS.
+Bruce Kennewell Sadly true.
HE WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH THE INTERNET YOUTH, absolute legend.
Dave Allen at Large was pure entertainment.
Seen him live. He is amazing
2020 Covid-19 lockdown/quarantine ......binge watching this man....... time well spent!👍👏💜
j'ai besoin de ma dose de Dave Allen tous les jours !
Dave Allen is a legend. I'm 64 now and I grew up watching him. I think most modern comedians cite him as an influence.
What a great comedian dave allen was I still lol hes up there with les dawson bob monkhouse and all the other greats we will never c the likes of them again truly epic
How is it that I've never heard of him? He's hilarious.

So pleased that you have found him ~ there are many videos on here, so enjoy.
completely ADORE this man !
As a young boy in Australia I used to look at his show every chance I got. Mum and dad were German but they nearly pissed themselves while watching
A one off, legend.
I'm from Romania. Never seen this guy before. From what I read, I understand he is dead! Sorry for the loss. A really amazing guy! Live his vids.
👋♥️😊♥️🇺🇸♥️
It was a great sadness to us British when he died in 2005
he was irish and his death was sudden. I was shocked to hear it.
@@markdaly1903 yes thanks for mentioning it, he was IRISH , only Irish have this type of humour !
MARYSE PRADET - what sort of humour do I have ?

"think of the starving children " who never heard this !
This is absolutely hilarious, had me in tears 😂

Such a delightfully funny man. I saw him live in Reading a few years ago and the entire audience found his performance brilliant! I shall never forget that evening!
Few years ago ? More than 20 years ago (o:þ
Dave was a complex, wonderful genius, years ahead of his time. I’m always sorry to see 👎🏻 signs for these clips.
One of the greatest stage presences ever.
I used to do my homework while watching dave. It was a good combination
Dave Allen rocks!

I may have to do it for him!
THIS MAN WAS SENSATIONAL AND MADE IT LOOK EFFORTLESS.
And YOU are an egotistical twat. Obviously you come ffrom that uneducated latrine south of Canada.

6:20 - This is the best part, we all know how revolting hot baby food looks
I don’t like cabbage. YES YOU DO !!!!! Lmfao
what means "Lmfao " ??
Dave Allen sketches, especially the religious sketches, so funny, and not anti religious, nor blasphemous.
9:15 "Think of the starving children"... lol
aside from the unfortunate error that reduced the audience to silence - a great comic genius.
silveradofilms, what error are you talking about.
There wasn't an error
"it would make any pothole proud" OMG sooo brilliant !
Brilliant, he makes me LAUGH. When I try listening to new comedians, they dont make me laugh. They must have poor writers behind them nowadays, as I know Ken Dodd had 3 writers for his stage work.
Pure genius
THX!!!

What a Genius so inciteful
Excellent
