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.

Great point yes can u imagine … gender covid masks lockdowns fear Brexit Johnson etc we’d be laughing for the next 30 yrs
Dave at his finest and way ahead of his time
I was born in 1968 and I grew up with him, sadly missed a true master of his craft.
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.🥰
We had him , we laughed with him . What joy to have known him.
without a doubt the best underrated comedian off ALL time! And super clever

My most favourite comedian EVER! So funny, clever and sadly missed.
I miss Dave, he was a true original comedian, sadly missed.
I grew up watching Dave Allen live & his 📺 program Dave Allen @ large, in which my favourite skit was The Bishop. He was a massive loss to comedy & satire. R.I.P Dave, forever missed, never forgotten.
We all sat around the telly, the whole family. As catholics, we loved his holy jokes.

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!

Saw him live at the Wellington (nz) Town Hall in the early 1980's. I laughed till I cried and nearly wet myself! I literally fell out of my seat. Funniest person I've ever seen or heard.
I watched everything Dave ever did. He was phenomenal. 😅

He was an absolute legend. So sadly missed. Funny, clever and pretty hot too..especially when he was younger. Was lucky enough to see him live at at the Sydney Opera House. Second row. Wonderful.

Would have been great to hear his take on iphones and smart-watches.
Loved him all my life and along with dear well Dead Dad , we watched together and laughing out loud in 70’s GBL Australia

Just a great comedian and along with the master Bob Monkhouse sadly not with us anymore, and presently noone good enough to replace either.
Frickin Brilliant 🙂
Wonderful man, sorely missed
magic! as always.
I saw him first in German TV in the very early 80s and found him incredibly funny (even synchronized into German). Later I loved him in English and I still do! He still makes me laugh! Rest in peace and may your god be with you❤!
I watch Him so many times... I can not get enough from his sarcastic way of telling jokes! 😂😂😂😂 Especially those about Catholic Church... Which tryed to bann his shows in Ireland!!!! Bastards... RIDENDO CASTIGAT MORES... IN LATIN... COMMON LANGUEGE FOR THEM!
The best!
Dave was 30 years ahead of his time. It is like someone has shown him a smart watch from 2023/24. He is describing everything a smart watch does today at 16.54 in the video and he is right. What is the point of any of that tech? Other than profits for those who make these gadgets and gizmos.
I grew up with him. A great comedian. 1994 or 2023, no difference to the madness. What is worrying is the number of people buying presents on their Credit Cards nowadays and spending months to clear the debt.
Dave Allen was the funniest comedian I have ever seen on TV. Whenever I have watched him I am always in hysterics tears running down my cheeks, I laugh so much I almost wet myself 😅 and when he did jokes about flatulence that would send me into uncontrollable hysterics. That and religion I just know by the look on his face it would be funny 😅😅. No-one else will ever take his place.I would have loved to have met him. R . I. P Dave Allen you are missed 😅
He was timeless 😂
Great man and comedian and Irish ❤
I miss Dave Allen. His shows and his humour were hilarious. My dad once said that Allen was the type of man he would have liked to have bought a pint and had a friendly chat with. He had such appeal.
Dave Allen told Christmas as it was and still is.........total bollocks!!
I miss this kind of humour so much!
So smart he outgunned his critics long before he'd even woken for the day.
love dave rip
I saw Dave in Sydney, maybe 30years ago. The expression "rolling in the aisles," I thought, was just a comedic reference. BUT, it's actually true..coz I actually fell out of my seat , rolling in the aisle with uncontrollable laughter. 😂
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! X like Ricky
Hahaha Dad jumped off the roof of his family home With a broom . Imagination is a powerful tool.
