Watch Peter Kay: Live at the Bolton Albert Halls For Free

What a waste of my time!!!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Top of the Tower was good, it's a classic in fact, but Live at the Bolton Albert Halls is something special. It is in my top stand-up shows of all time with its relatable stories and signature jokes. Filmed 3 years after his first tour, Peter Kay returned with a bigger reputation, bigger venue and even bigger jokes! His style may not have changed but his all-round performance as a comedian is much improved on an already sterling show 3 years earlier.Again, his jokes are consistently relatable. He tells us stories which literally have us linking ourselves to over and over again. He really is naturally funny and it seems effortless to him the way he reels off story after story. This tour is my favourite of Peter Kay's and I still re- watch it every now and then.9/10

I love the Bolton comedian and I have seen some of his live stand-up comedy stuff before, this particular one was made around the time he was successful with his sitcom Phoenix Nights. Peter Kay here plays to an audience at the Albert Hall, in his home town, including his mother and grandmother, plus Coronation Street stars Sally Lindsay (who she starred in an episode with) and Jennifer James amongst them. His material is always stuff you can relate to, he talks about his observations on many things that sound familiar to you, including his experiences with his mother and grandmother, classic jokes analysed, taxi drivers, old people, home entertainment, television - specifically Crimewatch, shopping, silly sayings, and much more. Also starring, the opening and closing sequences, Amer Nazir as taxi driver Mr. B. Peter Kay was number 22 on The Comedians' Comedian, he was number 12 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, he was number 7 on Britain's Favourite Comedian, and he was number 2 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. Very good!

I love this DVD! He is one of the funniest men nowadays! This is a must-have in every household! It includes something that all of us has encountered in our lives - mine is the "People say stupid things" and the Wedding jokes. Peter Kay is so funny and those who find him not funny, well, that's their sense of humour. I recommend his other stand-up DVD, Live at the Top of the Tower, it was released before this DVD so you might need to watch that one first to understand some of the jokes in Bolton Albert Halls. If you haven't seen any of his Phoenix Nights, then you must. Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere is a sequel to it.

Only kidding of course!!! What can you say about this show, apart from it's brilliant. The 'Blackpool Tower' show was a good gig, still is in fact, but this one is in a different league. He's definitely the most naturally funny man on the planet. It's not so much what he says, it's the way he says it. His observations of life, his delivery, his funny shape ,with that northern wit and Bolton accent combine to great effect. To be honest i don't want to see this vd again for about another year or so, because i've seen it so many times, but i still laugh hard at it. The tour was a virtual sell-out, so he must have made enough money to 'buy his mum a bungalow' by now!!
