 Peter Kay - Live At Manchester Arena (DVD)
 Peter Kay - Live At Manchester Arena (DVD) ... Universal Pictures UK / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, PAL / Peter Kay has rightly earned himself a reputation as one of the country’s finest comedians, mixing in wry observations, northern humour and good, old-fashioned joke-telling at its finest. And yet even the most ardent Kay-fan, including this reviewer, would have to concede that this DVD release of Peter Kay--Live At Manchester Arena is a misstep. It’s not that the material here isn’t funny, as frequently it is. Kay’s observations on the likes of Crimewatch, Bullseye, the daft things that people say and weddings hit home with resounding accuracy. Yet all this has been delivered before on a far better DVD. His Live At The Bolton Albert Halls disc, released two years’ prior to this one, is a taping made on exactly the same tour, and as a result, the material across the two discs is virtually identical. Furthermore, the show on this latest release is cut down to a dramatically shorter length. Save for a strong DVD extra that takes you behind the scenes of his tour, there’s simply no reason that anyone who bought the previous release should fork out for this one. Kay’s talents are undisputed, and the aforementioned Live At The Bolton Albert Halls DVD is a must-have for fans of strong stand-up comedy. But you really should give Live At The Manchester Arena a miss, and treat is as the unwelcome cash cow it clearly is.--Simon BrewNewest Review: ... stand up comedian with a mixture of one liners and observational humour.

It opens with him walking through the crowd to the front of the stage with his signature Amerillo song and shaking hands with a bouncer he calles Shaft after the film character.
He starts the act with a series of fast paced one liner jokes that has the audience joining in getting them going before he launches into some longer observational pieces.

After seeing Peter Kay pick up an award for lifetime achievement at the recent Comedy Awards I thought it was time that I dug out one of my live performance DVD's and see him doing his stand up routine, Kay is a brilliant comedy character actor with Max the bouncer and Brian Potter the wheel chair bound club owner from Pheonix Nights however he is also an accomplished stand up comedian with a mixture of one liners and observational humour. This DVD was filmed live at the Manchester Arena at the end of a sell out UK tour and he is just about to embark on the biggest ever sold out comedy tour in the UK and this DVD is a good reminder of just how good he ...

I find it quite difficult to believe that Peter Kay has released this DVD and I have lost quite a bit of respect for him because of this. The cover boasts that this was the special final-leg of Peter's 'Mum wants a bungalow' tour, leading me to initially believe that it would feature new material. I was, however, incorrect and, not only is the show featured a near-exact replica of the Bolton Halls show, I also realised I had already seen this show on Channel 4 about 12 months ago! I just don't understand the reasoning behind realeasing this DVD and I know of others who have bought it with the same level of surprise. It is clear that Peter is simply cashing-in on his ...
