I actually thought he had lost what he used to have and haven't really liked too much he's done for a long time but OMG this was truly hilarious and goes to show I was totally wrong and he's as funny and observant as he ever was, after watching last night I don't honestly think another comedian can touch him for getting so many laughs, best stand up ever.
But I don't know what international audiences would think of him.
Preferred his "That Peter Kay Thing" and "Phoenix Nights" myself. His stand-up seems to consist of "Do you remember teletext blah blah", but I suppose it works for some people.
I hurt myself laughing at his bit about embarrassing bodies, the part where he was doing an impression of a woman and he said "every time I lift me tits up they fart" (It's making me giggle as I write)
I was lying in bed in agony with one of the most painful IBS attacks I've ever had, But even so I was in an uncontrollable giggling fit for about 20 minutes, I had to pause it while I got through the giggling, Laughing and being unable to stop even though it's causing you great pain, I was in AGONY all night because of it, Thanks Peter,
I think it was actually funnier to 'listen' to rather than watch!
My parents had it on in the kitchen while I was having something to eat, and I was trying to hide my laughter but struggled!
Especially when he started going on about high def!
“It’s all HD now. HD that’s the new thing now, “get it in HD!” What a rip-off. I’ve got Star Wars three times now. I’ve got it on VHS, I’ve got it on DVD; if it gets any clearer I want to sit on t’couch with Yoda havin’ a brew.”
Viewing it was quite difficult as it seemed to be the 'Audience That Didn't Tour Tour' with the constant shots of them!
I loved Peter Kay back in the day and watched his Bolton dvd repeatedly. Got more bored of him as the years have gone on though. But I did watch this, and parts of it were amusing but I wasn't bursting out laughing. The misheard lyrics bit at the end was my favourite part.
Wouldn't watch it again though. His act still consists of mostly 'Hey, remember *nostalgic product*? What were all that about? *Exaggerated comment about nostalgic product*'
If anyone recorded it, keep it rather than going out to buy it on DVD: The 'misheard lyrics' section (near the end) has been edited out of the commercially-available DVD. I recorded it to DVD last night, for this reason.
Except I've always known, ever since he started on TV on The Sunday Show in the late 90s I've known how bad Kay is.
As Rufus Hound once said, Kay is good at remembering things.
Funny, he ain't Add McIntyre and Bishop into this WTF popular cultural phenomenon conundrum as well. At the risk of sounding oh-so condescending and sanctimonious, I truly believe that this unholy trinity are fine examples of comedy for people who don't like comedy. Waits for backlash........:D
Just remembered a Stewart Lee quote about McIntyre's stuff - that it's like spoon-feeding his audience warm diarrhoea.
Well, there were countless occasions when the camera cuts to the arena, showing thousands of people p*ssing themselves with laugther. And no, they are not all tanked up with drink!

I wish I'd known that. I didn't record it with already having a it on blu-ray. I presume it'll be repeated plenty more times in the future, though, like his other stand up shows.
Really enjoyed last night's Peter Kay show, laughed so hard and he's still as funny as ever. I got my mum and dad tickets for this show in Sheffield for Christmas two years ago, wish i got a ticket for myself now. I missed a treat.

Just my opinion........
I can't stand Rufus Hound, terrible comedian. Can't touch Kay's success.

:D That was the best bit for me, I wasn't hurting like you but had starting coughing as I was laughing so hard!! Bloody excellent 2hrs (or about that), I couldn't believe it when it ended as it seemed to go so quickly!

Yeah, it was funny when he did it 15 years ago.

Me too....I thought it was really good and highly entertaining!
A warning to other performers: don't piss off your co-writers and have to resort to stealing/rehashing material.
A nasty piece of work too, by most accounts.
Wouldn't watch it again though. His act still consists of mostly 'Hey, remember *nostalgic product*? What were all that about? *Exaggerated comment about nostalgic product*'
Maybe both at home, trying to rewind a CD

According to Stewart, that quote has been taken a little out of context:

I saw him a few years ago with my family, and when the show finished all our chests ached so much from laughing.
I wish I'd known that. I didn't record it with already having a it on blu-ray. I presume it'll be repeated plenty more times in the future, though, like his other stand up shows.

it seems you just like people who are nasty
Rufus Hound's a comedian
