studioAT He's gone on to find the balance between being a comedian and a comic actor, but if ever there was a good example of Peter Kay at his best doing stand-up then this is it.Good, old fashioned style humour, based on everyday observations. It's great stuff, and has the audience in stitches.Less sweary than his previous tour, and certainly less than the 'tour that didn't tour' DVD, this is an enjoyable 80 something minutes, displaying a guy at the peak of his comic powers.It's comedy like this we need right now. Well done Peter Kay for this great DVD.

Jackson Booth-Millard I love the Bolton comedian and I have seen some of his live stand-up comedy stuff before, this particular one was made around the time he was successful with his sitcom Phoenix Nights. Peter Kay here plays to an audience at the Albert Hall, in his home town, including his mother and grandmother, plus Coronation Street stars Sally Lindsay (who she starred in an episode with) and Jennifer James amongst them. His material is always stuff you can relate to, he talks about his observations on many things that sound familiar to you, including his experiences with his mother and grandmother, classic jokes analysed, taxi drivers, old people, home entertainment, television - specifically Crimewatch, shopping, silly sayings, and much more. Also starring, the opening and closing sequences, Amer Nazir as taxi driver Mr. B. Peter Kay was number 22 on The Comedians' Comedian, he was number 12 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, he was number 7 on Britain's Favourite Comedian, and he was number 2 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. Very good!

bob the moo Peter Kay appears in front of a large audience of his Northern brethren and goes through a routine that runs just under an hour. Kay runs through a range of observations made against his own life growing up in the North (where it, as I understand it, is grim). From drunken dancing at weddings, watching Bullseye or taping the top 40 charts off the radio, he covers a range of subjects – but this is also a weakness.Outside of the group that will be familiar with what he is talking about (not many outside the UK I'd reckon) he isn't going to get many laughs, but I suppose I'm in the UK so it shouldn't matter – but it does. The problem I had with the show was that it never gets close to the inventiveness and wit of Kay's TV shows (specifically Phoenix Nights), instead it more or less just picks easy targets – dancing at weddings, drunken relatives, rubbish television shows and so on. It is amusing in a 'oh yeah' type of way but I must admit that I wasn't roaring with laughter as much as the (badly timed) cuts to audience were. I say badly timed because the odd time it is apparent that the individuals are not actually laughing at that specific joke but I suppose the important thing is that they were laughing at that moment.The material won't travel well but it is worth seeing if you are in a relaxed mood. Ironically Kay seems happy to be just a notch above the working men's clubs that he lampoons so wonderfully in Phoenix Nights but the crowd (a rough looking lot) seem to enjoy it a great deal and I suppose that if you're a fan of his type of humour then you'll enjoy this too. I did identify with the people and situations he joked about and I did laugh a handful of times but basically I didn't think he stood out from many other stand ups who also do the 'have you ever noticed…' stuff but do it better. Kay is better than this.

geege2004 I saw this guy for the first time on the DVD "Live At Bolton", and would now rank him in the top three comedians I have ever heard in my life! Everything about his show was funny and uplifting, From his running for a bus to, well....I won't spoil the surprises, I swear he will have you and your whole family in Knots. A truly naturally funny man in every sense. He also does some superb impersonations including Jim Bowen(presented bullsh1t....no bullseye) and a very good one of a typical drunk uncle at a party. Another notable talent he has is that he hardly swears during his show. I say notable because a lot of comedians use swearing as a driving force for their comedy but this guy doesn't need to. There are only a few other British comedians out there that can touch this guy, one of them being The Big Yin himself, Billy Connolly and Lee Evans being the other one and I think with his upbeat personality and well timed wit he will go far! Out of 10.... 9.5, Superb!
