I live in the USA. Just two weeks ago I discovered the comedic genius of Dave Allen. As the saying goes, better late than never. So true. Love him! He's just contagious with his humor! Funny funny funny! RIP Mr. Allen -- you were king of the stage for sure!
I CANNOT BELIEVE JUST HOW MUCH I'VE MISSED THIS GENIUS STORYTELLER- only recently found him on You Tube - - am Anglo-Irish also raised by God's Troopers - and can relate in genuine and explosive laughter at his "religious" skits - but they are all works of a genius - I have to believe that he has them in hysterics wherever he may be residing - who says God doesn't enjoy a laugh or two. We were privileged to see one of his last shows in Toronto in the 70's.
I am ashamed to say that I had totally forgotten about the first comidian I had ever been exposed too. Dave Allen was a genius ahead of his time. With material that is still so very relevant today. Thanks daromir for uploading this video it brought back great memories of a brilliant man...
I first saw him in the mid 1970s when these shows distributed in the US and watch on PBS. I laugh so hard the first time I saw him. I am so glad for TH-cam and people uploaded his videos. I was sad to hear he had passed away in 2005. I didn't know until just last year. RIP Dave Allen and thanks for your gift.
I didn’t find his humour funny when I was young and growing up but with age and a lot it maturity, I have learned about humour and his dry wit. His use of wit and sarcasm often tells a different story. I was a late arrival but at least no made before it was all over.
i also grew up watching dave allen my dad made me do the house work so i could watching him i loved every bit not the house work.May your god go with you dave
I grew up watching british tv shows n loads of uk comedy, but no where enough, I need to take stock, n watch loads of uk retro tv programs, as they were priceless, just like d many british inventions, not 2 mention d brilliant british empire, ruled d world 4 300 long years, hail britania,long may d british empire rule over planet earth.
Funniest comedian of all time!! He transcends cultures that even us from the east readily LOL to his sketches...Wherever he is now, i bet they are all laughing out there...
I used tot watch his shows late at night when I was still living in Belgium 35 years ago and we could catch the BBC. The one thing that stayed with me ever since was his quote at the end of the show 'May your God be with you'...and then I found out he claims to be an atheist. I like to think of myself as agnostic... His humor was funny, clean... and yes, sometimes predictable....
what a legend..i grew up as a kid watching him and was totaly hooked on his irreverant yet philosiphical look on life...a great loss but i think dylan moran is highly influenced by allen so in that respect he lives on.
heliocentric68 thats what i thought about dylan moran. I agree with you. He also has the drink by his side and he slinks on the mic stand.. so dave allen. And that thing he does with his hair. Only i love dave allen more..I am older maybe.
Reminds me of a " Candid Camera " gag where they had dropped a dollar bill on the sidewalk and attached it to either a wire or a nearly invisible fishing line ! It was hilarious to see people chasing after it like crazy !
Oh my God, I remember watching this marvellous comic genius when I was a kid! He was a master storyteller: that story about the locked room in the rambling country house was a classic shaggy dog story that draws the listener in and never gets old. Dave Allen, you left us far too young! RIP!
We met, David, in 1981, and you really were a nice genius that was regrettably taken from us, yet assume that you are now entertaining all of the atheists in Heaven, and if not, then it must be hell for the audience! With disregards from a confessed maverick. Second Side Up. Mark.
His religious sketches were very funny, as a Christian i never took offence, may your own God go with you, God bless Dave keep them laughing where ever you are.
all comedians copied dave allen , like billy connelly, robin williams, ect all their jokes came from dave listen to billy connelly talk about religion it's all daves work , dave was a genius at comedy the best ever, rip dave allen 10/3/05 taken to soon so sadly missed by all,still makes me laugh out loud now, loved him when i was a child also in my late 50s now just can't get enough of him, wish dave was still here he made the world a better place gbnf forever good night & hope ur in peace luv u jacqui xxxx
People, do you understand?! This man was NOT from England, he was NOT from the UK! He was from EIRE!! Do you get it!?! He was however the most witty bloke from Ireland.

Used to watch Dave Allen with my dad and grandad. Fantastic. Classic. That's REAL comedy. Clever...Subtle...REAL.
Today's so called Comedians should study just what a comedian is learning from Dave Allen.
I am ashamed to say that I had totally forgotten about the first comidian I had ever been exposed too. Dave Allen was a genius ahead of his time. With material that is still so very relevant today. Thanks daromir for uploading this video it brought back great memories of a brilliant man...

My god what a story teller. I have loved Dave Allen since I was a child and still up till now.
one of only a few comedians that even if it was the saddest day of your life - he would make you laugh. just magnificent. A genuine master of comedy.
First time i saw dave allen in the early 70ties, I laughed so hard my stomach ached for 3 days after...

As a catholic I just LOVE the confessional box scenes ! And the jokes about the Catholic Church !!! 🤣🤣🤣🥊
It's a breath of fresh air that someone can see through the jokes and not take it seriously more should be like you.

Angie Thompson ...recall seeing early episodes also...back in that day...

'... Goodnight and may your God go with you...'
Brilliant love him he's very funny
Amazing stuff. Many clips I have not seen elsewhere. Than you for sharing. I will be buying these, as soon as I find a way to do so.
Reminds me of a " Candid Camera " gag where they had dropped a dollar bill on the sidewalk and attached it to either a wire or a nearly invisible fishing line ! It was hilarious to see people chasing after it like crazy !

Dave Allen.The only man who could scare Stephen King with a joke.
I Still Enjoy him...
Absolutely Fantastic 👏👏👏
Well it's 2022 and men still exist so that's good.
AHHHHH!!1 HILARIOUS INDEED !!! R.I.P. DAVE ALLEN . THE VERY BEST OF BRITISH WITH PURE IRISH CHARM . FROM U.K. (2021).
very funny, I enjoy his humour, great stuff
Best comedian man, fuckin hell, so much vocal energy doesnt have to throw himself about the stage!
We met, David, in 1981, and you really were a nice genius that was regrettably taken from us, yet assume that you are now entertaining all of the atheists in Heaven, and if not, then it must be hell for the audience! With disregards from a confessed maverick. Second Side Up. Mark.
Plot twist: he was a god and all his excellence went with him. He is sorely missed.
He was must see TV for our family with Disney.loveim
Dave Allen, potentially the favourite comic for all us atheists... he takes the mickey out of the churches.
A pure, undiluted legend.
His religious sketches were very funny, as a Christian i never took offence, may your own God go with you, God bless Dave keep them laughing where ever you are.
Allen lived in Chiswick. Saw him on the Tube between Hammersmith and Acton Town in 1999.
There's an art of telling a story that keeps you interested Dave Allen had it and made you laugh at the end.
Just amazed!!! Thanks for uploading it here!
Too bloody funny....!!
Brilliant
Genius and brilliant father ,Mark cardiff
RIP Dave I hope you met God and he forgave you for being an atheist. I have always loved your work and may God go with you
I love the way he always was an Irish man. I loved the part where he skits about the English.
and the Catholics.
Ahh sure of course it’s funny to skit about your own culture, just like father ted. Great crack
Well there are a few great Irishmen. He has to be the greatest comedian of his time
Classic!
people like this should leave at least 300 years
I want to thank you for this post. But...The 👎🏻 signs...give Dave another listen. You will hopefully get to realise his genius...👍🏻
Thanks for posting this :) Really Funny !

When comedy had not yet been destroyed by the PC Gestapo.
I wish that people would stop saying that.

Did this air in 1991?I mean the scenes where he sits in the chair
The Irish are not illogical , they just can't help taking the mickey .
SO.... Comedians of today.... where do you get your content from?
Multitalented David, never attracted criticism from Cathalic hierarchy? Unbelievable?
Oh yes he did. His shows were banned in Ireland.
The sound is too loud and it's distorted.
ya i just discovred him two days ago
