Dave Allen Boxing Day Special 1994

If you liked this video please consider saying thank you by signing my petition regarding Police corruption www.change.org/p/remove-nick-...
This is the Christmas special from 1994, on what would be Dave's final stand show EVER.
Often seen as the unofficial 8th episode from Dave Allen's 1993 show on ITV, as this is in the same stage, design and feel. A few of the jokes are recycled but this very much bookended his 1993 series well, with Dave at his most angry and cynical.
His final work also represented some of his best work, being as controversial as ever.
In this special, Dave muses on Christmas, shopping, queues, post offices, cards, dogs, curfews and the birth of Christ. Already uploaded to my channel but this is a cleaner ripped copy and all in one file.

    What a treasure. I was a teenager when I watched Dave for the first time and fell in love with his storytelling. Every comedian is a storyteller but not every storyteller is a comedian which is fine after all it takes every kind of storyteller to make the world go round. I am now 56 and have introduced Allen to my hubby of 34 years and Hen really loves his humor. This American couple is thanking you for your upload. By doing this you are taking steps in preserving a legacy for generations to come.🥰

    I'm 59, and I grew up watching Dave Allen. Nobody in our family was religious, but I always noted that at the end, he said "May your god go with you". Years later I became a christian, but over time, my faith eroded away to nothing. I STILL remember Dave Allen saying that little phrase at the end. If only EVERYONE could say that to each other, can you imagine what a wonderful world we would live in!

    Grew up in London a child of Irish generation parents. Married a man with even more Irish parents ( he went to a Catholic School the poor bugger). Luckily, not me so I was normal!!! However, every child of Irish parents will see this man as a genius. A true genius. Took the mickey out of all that was bad about Ireland but kept the good. He also was a great observer of humanity with a Celtic twist. He is just a brill comedian, like Ricky Gervais. In the 70s he was classed as Irish. Now he would be classed as a great comedian!
