That’s true watching her laugh was a spiritual experience‼️😊

I grew up in an Irish American Catholic working class family. My father was a good catholic and a good father but he used to get the biggest laughs from Dave Allen. Dave is quite funny and takes some good natured and non offensive jabs at the church. One of our local UHF stations carried his show every night and brought him much happiness. Your reaction took me back to some of the best days of my childhood.

David Huber, WTTW in Chicago used to air Dave Allen At Large almost every Sunday night, usually preceding Monty Python's Flying Circus with the opening announcement: "The following program, "Dave Allen At Large", contains comedy sketches and jokes which may be unsuitable for younger and more sensitive viewers". Great stuff.

Not seen this in years. The worlds funniest man with a missing finger!

Dave Allen is my all time favourite Comedian ... such an intelligent comedian who told such great stories.... He was rarely on tv but you would huddle around to watch him when he was. RIP

He had a weekly show for a couple of years in the UK. I think he did more TV in Australia from what I've read about him.

The funny thing was, despite being an atheist, Dave would sign off his show with the words "Goodnight, and may YOUR god be with you." He didn't believe, and he lampooned the Catholic Church in his sketches, but he respected people's right to faith.

Well it could be taken that way, but it could also be taken to mean "good night and take your bloody God with you.", i.e. feck off all you God botherers. I suspect that's how he really meant it, but being a mischievous wee fella made it deliberately ambiguous.

Apart from one time! One week he did no religious jokes or sketches, and got letters of complaint! so the next week he did nothing but religious jokes and sketches. At the end of that programme, he said "Tonight I think I'd better say, Good night, and may my god go with me" ps, having read the other comments: I never took it as an insult to the audience. To me he was saying, May whatever god you believe in comfort you

Same. As a little kid grew up seeing Dave Allen, Pau Hogan and the Two Ronnies and they were all awesome fun for a kid in late 70's.

I used to love Dave Allen so much. Being allowed to stay up late on a Saturday night to watch him in the early 70s was such a treat.

“We still do...shhhhh I’m catholic “ brilliant 😂🤣😂

It's so nice to see someone really appreciate and understand what made me laugh so much as a kid... You ROCK!

I used to love watching Dave Allen, especially when he did his ghost stories. They'd lower the lights, put a spot on him and off he'd go with a spooky tale.

He was our greatest ever comedian,thank you for showing.

I was just a kid, maybe 15 when I discovered Dave Allen on PBS. He was the funniest, cutest thing I'd ever seen. Instant fan. These reactions are a total hoot.

I've seen all these before when I was young but I am sitting here laughing so much at your reaction to the great Dave Allen lol. These are from 70's and 80's. Best comedian that ever came out of Ireland.

I’m glad you enjoyed Dave Allen, he was a favourite of mine. I was honoured to meet him once and can truthfully say he was a lovely man.

My Dad was a huge fan of Dave Allen in the 1970s and 80s. I would hear him laughing from my bedroom in a very similar almost breathless way to how you did 😆 There are so many videos of his you’d enjoy watching but I can recommend Dave Allen telling the time, Dave Allen on Religion and Dave Allen on Airplanes.

Lol - best reaction ever. I've been watching your reactions (mostly music) for a couple of years now, and this was absolutely priceless.

I used to watch him on television in Britain late night with my Dad but years later I actually met him he came in our shop it was Newsagent he was telling jokes to the Paperboys and girls.

I loved your reactions! As a specs wearer myself, I know how hard it is to laugh so much - but Dave Allen will do that for you

It was your reactions that totally made this for me...

Dave Allen was much loved on UK TV

Love your sense of humour - I've seen Dave Allen's religious jokes many times before but your laughter brought it all back - I nearly cracked up !

But a little known side of Dave Allen, born David Tynan O'Mahoney, was that during the Second World War he was evacuated from Dublin, where he was born, to the small Co Longford village of Kenagh. In last week's Life magazine, I recounted the only recorded explanation Dave Allen ever gave for the absence of his index finger. In a 1994 interview on BBC radio, Allen told a 'macabre' tale of his father, his finger and the chopping axe. He said he did something bold and his father, who was chopping wood at the time told him to put it on the chopping block. His father brought down the axe, thinking the boy would pull his hand away but Dave, thinking his father would never

Dave Allen was brilliant.

Lovely to rediscover Dave Allen, enjoyed your reaction to him.

Dave Allen was an Irish comedian back in the 70s especially..😂😂

Actually, when I was a kid in Ireland, Dave Allen was banned from the national TV network largely because of his religious jokes. We used to be scrambling to the British channels to get to see him.

Catherine Tate is a fantastic actress. The first time I ever saw her was in Doctor Who. She was funny, but in the sincere and feeling moments she really excelled. Her character was one of my favorites.

I don't like to use the word "precious" but you are truly precious! As an atheist, I really do appreciate your wonderful laughter and attitude!

I'm sat here crying with laughter....at you! God [if you exist] , I needed that. Thank you!

I love the reaction when she realizes he's saying he's an atheist and suddenly the mood in her room dims for a moment. Credit to Sincerely, though, when she gets the joke and thinks it's funny.

Its worth it just to hear you laugh.
