Why are there thumbs down? They aren't welcome usually but have no purpose here. This man was & still is the greatest comedian I have ever watched on television in my lifetime.
@@smartidea2987 Andrew Phipps Philips didn't say that Dave Allen is/was the greatest comedian the rest of us ever watched. He simply stated that Dave Allen is/was the greatest comedian HE had ever watched
I completely agree. None known as good let alone better - ever. Not George Carling, Jasper Carrot early comedy, and they also were very good - only not as good as Dave, 😊👍
Loved his show , my late Dad and I rarely missed his show on Sunday nights on channel 11 in Chicago. I am Irish and former catholic and he still makes me smile and laugh loud! So sad to hear that he is gone now ; fortunately we have his shows to see on YT! Thank you !🤗👍
From another Aussie, he is indeed. Even more so when chatting with.him.one on one over coffee which I was fortunate enough to do on a couple of occasions in London back in the early.1990's.
I've nearly sixty five years in this life...half Irish, (or perhaps a tad less...it's a long story), and half Sussex yeoman, this guy made me laugh more often than most...and since he's up against M&W, Freddy Star, Baddiel and Skinner, Bob Monkhouse and so many others, that's really saying something... David Tynan O'Mahony...you were a great man.... Another David
Can you imagine what would have been like if Dave had been in father ted? Jeez the combination of Dave Allen and father ted would of been like a nuke going off
I don't know how far he would get nowadays as the politically correct idiots would cry out racist or some other stupid thing. He was simply a down to earth genius.
Sadly, with the over-reacting "moralists" we seem to have these days, I am afraid that if any of his shows would be broadcasted, there would be only one big bleep
My mam is 85, I just told her the holy water joke. It took two seconds for the penny to drop. Then she said, "feck off !!", can you get more Irish than that?
Roll around on the floor stuff. My late Dad and I absolutely adored him. What an adlibber par excellence. What a gentleman ❤. RIP Dave Allen.
We really miss you Dave. RIP !
My favorite comedian ,back in the days!
The finest comedian who has ever lived. Amazing!
In my opinion...Dave Allen is second only to Les Dawson!
@@markemsworth4235 100% agree
Les Dawson is shit compared to Dave Allen….Dave Allen is number 1
A
Best ever, totally hilarious and never out of date.
Awh.. Those great golden days you could sit, drink and smoke on national television..

Andrew Phipps Phillips No Sir, he is not the greatest comedian the rest of us has ever watched. So mind your language.
Andrew Phipps Phillips He was one of the two best ever, truly miss him and George Carlin:( watch both of them, they were the best ever 👏👍🙏🏻💝

I absolutely loved watching his show, growing up and looking at it now I can remember the crush that I had on him!
He was very fanciable, wasn't he? Even when older.
Dave Allen and Billy Connolly the best story tellers.

years ahead of his time R.I.P
I love him❤️ he’s the best ever👍😂😂😂
Great storyteller and a real pro.
Truly 💯🙌
I watched his show in Yugoslavia in 80s. I liked him very much.
Legend. Love his humour.
From an aussie this blokes a legend
We used to watch 'Pot Black' followed by Dave Allen on the ABC. ☺

@@jakartaman3365 I'm not sure you can tell us that and then leave us hanging. Details, details, please!
You use to talk to Dave Allen over coffee? How long did your nose grow???
Brilliant.

He was before Father Ted BRILLIANT MAN
Can you imagine what would have been like if Dave had been in father ted? Jeez the combination of Dave Allen and father ted would of been like a nuke going off
Sooooo missing you Sir :):🥰💗💕💝🥰💖
When comedians had wit, humour and style.
Master Craftsman, perfect timing.

Absolutely right 💯🙌

This man was a genius i love him he makes me laugh my head off
Absolute master of his craft.
i love this guy!
It's the Australian version of "Dave Allen at Large" (BBC-TV)
My mam is 85, I just told her the holy water joke. It took two seconds for the penny to drop.
Then she said, "feck off !!", can you get more Irish than that?
great mind
3 german beers and you'll want to invade poland. Hahaha
Thanks

Makes you realise that political correctness is a bad thing.
Absolutely
A comic genius

"Enough to make you shoot your wife, and miss her."
Fantastic double meaning.

Hello Caro
Sorry Dave! Australia was not worthy of your greatness xxx ooo.
"Extraordinary questions like, "do you do your shows live [fingerrrrrr]?".
He had a massive following in Australia.
@@1969cmp He did indeed. And this Aussie was one of them.
Oh yes we were!
😁
The name's Allen, Dave Allen
They've been drinking

He's better in the 90s when he's older.. here jokes are very short
That gay jibe joke is so Irish it is so fast only UK will get it-70s?Not rude to anything
