Peter Kay - Live at the top of the Tower Reviews

Done well before Kay's infamous John Smith's adverts that sparked a million and one copycat 'Ave It' and 'Top Bombing' incidents around the country, Kay was making his name as an outstanding young comedian, done no better than with this performance. I watched this well before he came to national fame and had no idea who this tubby, ...  Read the complete review

So funny! Peter Kay is in my mind the best comedian in Britain if not the world and the fact that he does this without being vulgar or extremely offensive to other cultures etc makes him rather unusual. He keeps the bad language to a minimum ( probably as his mother is watching) and we can all relate to his experiences. This DVD sees ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be the funniest man in comedy. It was the very first thing I had seen him in. It is stand up comedy at a top level. His true life humour will have you wetting yourself in laughter. While watching it i realised I had seen him in the John Smiths adverts 'av it' as he kicks the football. He is a naturally funny man ...  Read the complete review

Garlic Bread!!!! This has got to be one of the most well known lines in comedy! Peter Kay did this show back in 2000! Nine years ago! Can you believe it. This went on to be one of the most popular stand up tours in history. Since then Kay has gone from strength to strength. He has sold out massive arena's when on tour and has become a huge ...  Read the complete review

I hadn't actually heard of Peter Kay before I first watched this DVD, and its only until after this I started watching some of his earlier work and then getting into other of his live shows as well. Its kind of a tradition in my family that on Christmas day when were waiting for the dinner to cook we always sit down and have a stand up DVD ...  Read the complete review

Peter Kay pretty much makes up comedy about everyday things and is very true to life. His act is rather simple, uncomplicated and more to the point extremely observant. He makes jokes about things that everyone does/says that really you wouldn't even think was funny until he has brought it to your attention. We can all at some point relate to his ...  Read the complete review

It was the Pheonix Nights series that really launched Peter Kaye into the public consciousness followed up by the spin off Max and Paddy that has made him probably the top comic in the country at the moment and his stand up performances are high quality as well. This show has him appearing at the top of the Blackpool Tower and is a ...  Read the complete review

Peter Kay is in some ways a very traditional comedian. Not for him the flights of fancy of Eddie Izzard or the sex and swearing of Russell Howard. Peter talks about families, holidays and TV. Done wrong it would sound horribly dated but it is done with such honesty and warmth that it hits bullseye every time. Live at The Top of the ...  Read the complete review

This man is a genius when it comes to comedy, he is by far the best comedian around at the moment, I'm always checking to see if he is doing a live tour somewhere as I'd love to see him live. Its just amazing that he can turn everyday life into comedy, things we do naturally as human beings are shown in a different light through his humour and you ...  Read the complete review

Peter Kay first broke into the big time with the excellent Pheonix Nights which was a comedy show set in a Northern working mens club, from this a spin off called Max and Paddy was another success which featured the two bouncers from the original show. Peter Kay is talented as a comic character actor but he is also really excellent as a ...  Read the complete review

Fantastic! Side splittingly funny! Makes me cry! I have seen this DVD at least 10 times and it still makes me laugh my socks off. Observation comedy at its best. He tells stories about childhood holidays which are so fuuny you are laughing before you realise hey hold on a minute my holidays were like that, my family embarassed me ...  Read the complete review

As a rule I am not generally too interested in comedians , that is until I saw Peter Kay. His show at the top of the tower will have you in stiches from the first to the last minute. He talks you through various funny situation and what makes them funny is that you have all done them...like panicing when the phone rings late at night, making rose ...  Read the complete review

If you love Peter Kay you will love this, it is hilarious from the beginning I just wish it was a longer dvd! Peter Kay is a much loved comedian who hosts this show from the top of the black pool tower. His quick wit and humour cannot stop you from laughing, his jokes are so real because what he says you either remember it been said to you or ...  Read the complete review

For all of you who haven't heard of Peter Kay um what can I say shame on you. This bloke is the mastermind behind the ever successful phoenix nights and also a great comic genius. He has to be one of the finest acts to date and is from Bolton. Poor man ! But because he is from up north people down ...  Read the complete review

Its spitting........ This Dvd is the most watched in my collection! Peter Kay is so funny in Pheniox nights but this is ten times better! I have just read some other reviews some saying it isnt funny and others (well most with the same opinion as me) saying its great. When I first put the DVD on I really thought I wasnt going to ...  Read the complete review

Garlic bread? - Advantages: Funny, Funny, Funny - Disadvantages: starting (corny) , nothing, nothing

If i had to some up this made in one that word would be 'Incredible'. Peter Kay is by far the funniest, down to earth comedian that British Television has ever produced. "Live at the top of the Tower" is a fantastic DVD to watch with you mates while having a few beers and a curry. Peter Kay has produced laugh after ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who has seen Pheonix Nights will agree that it's one of the funniest things on television purely because it's british and that there are people in real life like the characters in the programme. Peter Kay is the man behind it so when I saw his live DVD in WH Smith's for £8.50 there was only one phrase that entered my ...  Read the complete review

It’s been quite a while since I’ve written an opinion here on dooyoo; the last was long before we’ve had these fancy changes. Nice aren’t they. But I’m back now I’m going to tell you about my latest purchase, ‘Peter Kay Live At The Top Of The Tower’. A DVD / video of Peter Kay’s stand up ...  Read the complete review

There is nothing funnier than the way we live. Actually, there is only one thing funnier than the way we live...a fat bloke up a tower, telling us about the way we live. Peter Kay is the lovechild of the Wheeltappers and Shunters Club and Billy Connolly. He is alternative whilst remaining, well, Ken Dodd. He is a white Charlie ...  Read the complete review
