I live in the USA. Just two weeks ago I discovered the comedic genius of Dave Allen. As the saying goes, better late than never. So true. Love him! He's just contagious with his humor! Funny funny funny! RIP Mr. Allen -- you were king of the stage for sure!

America didn't miss Dave Allen. He played on TV here in the 1970's and 80's.

Used to watch Dave Allen with my dad and grandad. Fantastic. Classic. That's REAL comedy. Clever...Subtle...REAL.

Today's so called Comedians should study just what a comedian is learning from Dave Allen.

My god what a story teller. I have loved Dave Allen since I was a child and still up till now.

I CANNOT BELIEVE JUST HOW MUCH I'VE MISSED THIS GENIUS STORYTELLER- only recently found him on You Tube - - am Anglo-Irish also raised by God's Troopers - and can relate in genuine and explosive laughter at his "religious" skits - but they are all works of a genius - I have to believe that he has them in hysterics wherever he may be residing - who says God doesn't enjoy a laugh or two. We were privileged to see one of his last shows in Toronto in the 70's.

I first saw him in the mid 1970s when these shows distributed in the US and watch on PBS. I laugh so hard the first time I saw him. I am so glad for KZread and people uploaded his videos. I was sad to hear he had passed away in 2005. I didn't know until just last year. RIP Dave Allen and thanks for your gift.

There will never be another Dave Allen. Brilliant, unafraid, humble. A star.

I didn’t find his humour funny when I was young and growing up but with age and a lot it maturity, I have learned about humour and his dry wit. His use of wit and sarcasm often tells a different story. I was a late arrival but at least no made before it was all over.

“Sadly no spirts” lol Dave, you truly are one of the best comedians off all time, and sadly missed

He can be watched over and over and you can get another laugh each time. Brilliant man.

Watching Dave Allen from around age 14 was an education.

God, he was a class act

'... Goodnight and may your God go with you...'

Used to watch Dave Allen at Large in the 80s with Mum and Dad. R.I.P Dave Allen!

Well it's 2022 and men still exist so that's good.

As funny today as he was back in the day 🤣 brilliant 🤣 👏

Plot twist: he was a god and all his excellence went with him. He is sorely missed.

Thanks for that Dave and may God be with you.

Quite definitely one of the funniest men who ever lived and the joke is those youngsters don',t even know all those gags came from him...

I am ashamed to say that I had totally forgotten about the first comidian I had ever been exposed too. Dave Allen was a genius ahead of his time. With material that is still so very relevant today. Thanks daromir for uploading this video it brought back great memories of a brilliant man...

Too bloody funny....!!

I havent laughed so out loud and long for years! thank you.

Dave Allen, potentially the favourite comic for all us atheists... he takes the mickey out of the churches.

I used tot watch his shows late at night when I was still living in Belgium 35 years ago and we could catch the BBC. The one thing that stayed with me ever since was his quote at the end of the show 'May your God be with you'...and then I found out he claims to be an atheist. I like to think of myself as agnostic... His humor was funny, clean... and yes, sometimes predictable....

love dave miss you rip

Well there are a few great Irishmen. He has to be the greatest comedian of his time

Dave Allen.The only man who could scare Stephen King with a joke.

what a legend..i grew up as a kid watching him and was totaly hooked on his irreverant yet philosiphical look on life...a great loss but i think dylan moran is highly influenced by allen so in that respect he lives on.

Genius and brilliant father ,Mark cardiff

Amazing stuff. Many clips I have not seen elsewhere. Than you for sharing. I will be buying these, as soon as I find a way to do so.

hysterical! thank you! i discovered him in florida 1977 on tv with uhf?vhf dial

Brilliant

Absolutely Fantastic 👏👏👏

Reminds me of a " Candid Camera " gag where they had dropped a dollar bill on the sidewalk and attached it to either a wire or a nearly invisible fishing line ! It was hilarious to see people chasing after it like crazy !

people like this should leave at least 300 years

There's an art of telling a story that keeps you interested Dave Allen had it and made you laugh at the end.

very funny, I enjoy his humour, great stuff

Classic!

AHHHHH!!1 HILARIOUS INDEED !!! R.I.P. DAVE ALLEN . THE VERY BEST OF BRITISH WITH PURE IRISH CHARM . FROM U.K. (2021).

I love the way he always was an Irish man. I loved the part where he skits about the English.

We met, David, in 1981, and you really were a nice genius that was regrettably taken from us, yet assume that you are now entertaining all of the atheists in Heaven, and if not, then it must be hell for the audience! With disregards from a confessed maverick. Second Side Up. Mark.

One in a m illion I miss him..The higher you go in thee church the clothrs get flashier..lol

great story teller

His religious sketches were very funny, as a Christian i never took offence, may your own God go with you, God bless Dave keep them laughing where ever you are.

I miss that man so much. Still hilarious 😂

Allen lived in Chiswick. Saw him on the Tube between Hammersmith and Acton Town in 1999.

Obozavam ga. Apsolutno. Najbolji je.

Good old Benny

Just amazed!!! Thanks for uploading it here!

One of My Spirits.

The greatest 🇮🇪 comic that ever was, even Ricky Gervais ripped off his material for his Oscar presentation!!

I want to thank you for this post. But...The 👎🏻 signs...give Dave another listen. You will hopefully get to realise his genius...👍🏻

clasic of comedy

Marvelous man

Second that he was so good

Love this 💖

Oh my God, I remember watching this marvellous comic genius when I was a kid! He was a master storyteller: that story about the locked room in the rambling country house was a classic shaggy dog story that draws the listener in and never gets old. Dave Allen, you left us far too young! RIP!

Well done Daromir for uploading this. Seems KZread(Google) has listened.

Ne može se porediti sa bilo kojim drugim komičarem,van svake konkurencije. Po meni jedini komičar kome su skečevi brilijantni koliko i sam nastup. Šteta što nema više snimljenog materijala.

all comedians copied dave allen , like billy connelly, robin williams, ect all their jokes came from dave listen to billy connelly talk about religion it's all daves work , dave was a genius at comedy the best ever, rip dave allen 10/3/05 taken to soon so sadly missed by all,still makes me laugh out loud now, loved him when i was a child also in my late 50s now just can't get enough of him, wish dave was still here he made the world a better place gbnf forever good night & hope ur in peace luv u jacqui xxxx
