1998 · 87 min · ★ 9.0 · Comedy

With his trademark props - the stool and the whisky glass - Dave Allen proves the essentials of great comedy are simply a microphone, an audience and an hour-and-a-half of your time! Undoubtedly Dave Allen On Life showcases this most original stand-up comedian at his unsurpassable best. Hand-picked by Dave from his self-titled BBC series in 1993. These classic monologues on the idiocy of life include over 20 minutes of footage never seen on TV before.
