Very well said.

I keep forgetting to press like on these Dave Allen sketches, so just to show my love for the man, I love all of them. There, I don't have to worry if I miss some. I have said before, this man is probably the first comedian to make me laugh at him and at myself. Most of his comedy I relate to and that honestly brings back memories of my younger and recent years that I can now laugh at. Wish you were still with us old chum. 👍🏻🇦🇺😢 and 🤣🤣.

Dave's observational style of comedy is mind numbingly funny. One of the greatest comedians of all time.

I love Dave Allen since I was a kid . Thank you for posting this.The best comedian ever.

Dave was one of a kind. In some ways he was Ireland's answer to Billy Connolly, except for a lot less swearing. He'll always be funny, as his gags are timeless

No Billy Connelly is a rubbish comic who's only talent is being utterly foul mouthed. Dave Allen is the King of Comedy!

I imagine that he'd have a lot of material to work with in Australia's federal capital, plenty to poke fun at, and as an Australian or Irish descent, I would have happily cheered him on while he did so

They broke the mould with Dave. Thankfully we have these great reminders of his superb charm and style.

The best Comedian ever! I laugh so much sometimes at his very true humor that I in pain on my chest because I laughing so hard. Such loss to the world.. times like now in 2020 we need his humor.

My favorite comedian, I love listening to him.

Dave Allen was & is a legend. Brilliant humour that one can relate too. Love it when he has a rant. RIP.

Dave Allen - the greatest ever, think he needs recognition in this day because boy do we really need to see the truth and laugh about it now more than ever. If someone in the producing world has any sense they will bring back a series on showing him from his young years right through - but not a 1 hr programme but a good showing - someone make it happen!

My all time favourite comedian, a hilarious view on life and impeccable timing and delivery, miss you dave. RIP

I love this mans humor so honest, he must have been such a laugh to be around 😂😂🤣🤣

Could you imagine sitting next to him on a plane...brilliant

I'm watching this in my office and my sides are aching!! I saw Dave Allen live once, back in May 1991. The funniest comedy concert I have ever been to, and magnitudes funnier than any current comedian on the circuit today. God, I miss him!

"You climb to the top of a tower, tie a rubber rope around your feet and dive off." Written down, it's just a statement. Get Dave Allen to say it and it's comedy gold.

Soooo true! Every word! Absolutely brillinat. Though its now 2018. not much has changed .Still filtering the waters of Mediterranean every summer :)

"Fifty years in a week, that was quick wasn't it?" simply clever.

Love Dave Allen 💕💕💕 Timeless!

I miss comedians like Dave Allen, real comedians.

Awesome to be laughing at this so many years later. Ah the wonders of technology. Dave Allen will still be making people laugh in 100 years. I wonder what he would have thought about that.

My husband introduced me to Dave Allen and Omg I have been binge watching him. He has helped me laugh through a tough time x

@oldworms Agreed! He makes me laugh so much. Ok. so I'm sitting on my own, in the dark, with the computer and laughing my head off OUT LOUD!!!!!!!! LOVE Dave Allen!!

Classic !! It's so true ! That's what makes it so funny ! Even today , he's still my favorite comedian ! I was laughing out loud all throughout this !

The original and best stand-up act and very very funny

"I saw it on my toe!!" BRILLIANT!!! Just found out about this guy and i have to admit that there are few like him. Very funny!

I love Dave Allen he always makes me smile n laugh.he makes good sense of life.

Holiday brochures, that's a thing of the past.

An epic story teller, awesome!

A superb comedian, able to teach anyone how to do it, apart from maybe Ken Dodd. Did you notice though, at 06:08 during the 'applause' for the bungi jumping joke, the scene changed to a rear view of the auditorium while Dave was taking a sip of whiskey and there wasn't one bit of movement from the audience!

Rest In Everlasting Peace Dave Allen comedy genius never forgetten 🕊️🙏🕊️🇮🇪🤍

Thank you for sharing . He was such a genius .

I was named after this guy , what a absolute great guy , he was included in most of my younger years as my parents loved him

none of todays so called comedians and their new age comedy styles can match his comedic genius. His kind of jokes, his clean comedy, his rapport with the audience and his take on everday life and make it hilarious

Love the impression at the beginning of the brochures dropping through the letterbox. Classic.

God, the Irish are so on the money with their humour, pure class, dry and so , so slick

It doesn't get much better than Dave . Sadly missed

Even today i am still chuckling away from this.

"my anus is doing a filter job for the Mediterranean!" lost it there

The old ones are the best.

Oh I wasn't expecting that at he end. I was left laughing for ages.

Landscape gardeners, slimming clubs, insurance plans, takeaway menus, skip hire.... What he said about avalanches of shit coming through the letterbox has only become truer over time.

So great, its almost like he's talking to you personally, funniest man ever!

Fantastic funny man......no one better at telling a story

I have happy memories of watching my dad laughing so much it would make me laugh

Micheal mackintyre’s material 20 years later Pure genius no one can surpass his stand up observations of that era
