Dave was the best comedian ever. Love these. Thank you.

The old comedys are still so much better than modern day.

I lived in England for 3 years in the early seventies and never missed Dave Allen's show. Sadly we never got it in the States.

Love this. Thanks for posting. Never seen these before

Boy, this was *so* much funnier 40 years ago (but back then it was extremely funny).

Thank you for you sharing this !

I see some of the comments say this is boring and not funny but personally thats fine all i know when i was young Dave made me laugh so much snd that will do me just fine thank you .

good wit is for the ages

Those were the days when humour was funny and enjoyable to watch. Very little can match it now.

YES…found it, the sketch featuring Dr Crippen….thought of that sketch the other day…..😅😂🤣

He never switched off , my wife and I saw him shopping in Marks and Spencers in High Street Kensington , walking around very slowly in the ladies department , he must have known people recognized him , he picked up some ladys knickers from the display to examine looking at it puzzled !

Priceless! from the days when comedians were actually funny.

love dave so funny

I miss the days of clean slapstick humor.

I always got the impression that he'd have made a great straight actor as well.

Yep 100% , i reckon the likes of harry Enfield and paul whitehouse too. Dive right into character.

He was another comedian who shunned profanity. Very artful.

Nonsense. He was responsible for the BBC issuing a public apology in 1990 after MP's in the House Of Commons complained about him using the F word

I ve seen him live I don’t think I can agree. He was bloody funny though

I guess humour is subjective. Some people didn't like this but I got a few chuckles especially from the last one

the best x

Sadly missed.

I was scrolling and your thumbnail pic drew me as I thought it looked like Benecio del Toro in 'Sicario' An easy mistake to make 😂 The Dave Allen gag I want to see has the punchline *spoiler alert* SIZE NINE!

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it was Pablo Escobar.

Still, my two favorite Dave Allen skits are the one with the 10 pound note stuck under the car tire (tyre) and the one where guys are walking to work together: - 10 pound note: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXVhy6htZdO1nKw.htmlsi=9VlApJntMnBgxK-e - Guys walking to work: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGuqt7ieYZutgbg.htmlsi=-iwJqk7o4umrgIP4

Wish these repeated on British tv

I also loved Dick Emery as well

What is/was the name of this fair haired actor in the start of this sketch at 4:30?

You don't get great comedians like Dave Allen anymore Dave and dick Emery's style and their comedy were brilliantly written having this type of sketches is none existent now because of so-called political correctness gone mad writers have to be careful what they write in fear of affending these so called snowflakes😢

Look up Ricky Gervais or Jimmy Carr.

What's the skit where he was told to hide in the closet by his wife?

he was irish

At 1m 46s she says "Your wife Catherine should have nothing to fear from you and i going for a scamper in the orchard . . . " The correct grammar should be " . . .nothing to fear from you and ME".

No repatory theatres, no real audience participation learning their craft over years, before exposure to TV and the net. No talent nowadays, lack of real education and vocabulary

I used to really love Dave Allen. Then his show was replaced by Benny Hill, which I despised.

Boring

Not funny

this is not in any way funny anymore. Great in the 70's, absolutely boring today.
