It actually was ginger ale he was drinking, he was happy to let people think it was whiskey.

I used to watch this all the time as a kid I never noticed he is missing a finger

Loved him alot back then!

KQED San Francisco This guy was hilarious The original cutaway Dave Allen at Large

Brilliant stuff, just a real shame half of the sound is missing.

R.I.P CHRIS SERLE😢

Still watching a 87 years old.

Brilliant entertainer. He was an extremely funny man. I was in love with him. So handsome.

Did he just predict a black president by 2020?!

I'm 30 and grew up with my dad showing me old comedies like the Two Ronnies, Benny Hill, and more obscure things like Robin's Nest, the Liver Birds, etc... he never showed me Dave Allen. It cam cup in my recommended and I'm hooked. Absolute comedy genius.

Oh my god... Allen thinking of people in the year 2020, asking for a raise so they have £350 a week and have to work Wednesdays... I'm watching in 2024 when minimum wage for 40 hours a week (including Wednesdays) is about £490. He wasn't far off for 2020... also a really unfortunate year.... If only he knew what horror was coming...

British people also say brekkie, cozzy and din-dins. We probably gave them to the Aussies

As a kid in the 70s I had a small b&w TV in my bedroom. While turning the outer dial of the changer knob without actually turning the knob, the channel tuned into one I hadn't known about and Dave Allen was on. Watched him ever since.

One of the best comedians ever.

8:44 Furlough Scheme. Need I say more. This man was a bloody genius. 👏👏👏

Some of this would go well today's confused people

Katie your funny

Watched this guy as a 6 yo and thought he was funny especially his drunk characters

I was watching him when I was single digits in America so around 1975-ish. I remember thinking this was funny. It was a more simple time.

Immortal!!! ❤️♥️🌏🌍🌎🌐

I remember once! he did a thing with his glass on the table on his arm chair table magically filled up! Can anyone ever find it? If so thank you! He and his gang were just fantastic!

@14:07, what's the joke?

Yes - still good stuff - even now. As an expat Englishman - I love it!

@7:51, what do the headlines say?

@23:40, what's the joke about Episcopalian?

@5:09, what's the joke about the dog running to the duck?

@3.44, what's the joke about God and cricket?

@22:43, why did Dave start singing? What's the joke?

@7:17, what's the joke about a Catholic priest and a corkscrew?

@3.00, when an English man tells Dave to do his own thing, he won't know what the English man is talking about. Dave's mind is off a different angle. What's the joke here?

واو المقطع جدا قديم، ومفيد🌹

There's only one Dave Allen, and he was great! We sure do miss you, Dave! In this crazy world, you're still making us laugh, what a great feeling, thank you!!

@33.19, did he say "i killed my fore?" What does that mean?

@17.31, what did St Peter say to the Irish man?

So funny!

Could someone explain the priest and lady joke to me? I'm a non-native speaker. Thanks

Lenny Bruce And Dave Allen🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Australia. All pommy comedy shows were so good back in 1970ts. To many of them to mention, i always loved their work. 😊

I miss dave allan

Dave was born in firhouse dublin ireland

He is a delightful witty genius.

I used to watch him when I was a kid. Still makes ma laugh to this day. He is missed. We all have to die. Ce la vie.

Dave Allen , simply one of the best. There was Benny Hiil, the Goodies,

GREAT.

Great.

I used to watch Dave Allen in the 70's, 80's, 90's and it's 2024 now and thank goodness for KZbin I've found him again. I'm 79 now and he was the best and is still the best. Thank you lad for all the hours of pleasure you have given me and millions of others.

This man is simply the best.

I have LISTENED to Dave Allen many times. This is the first time I am noticing that he is missing the top half of his Left Index Finger.

Dave nearly reached his Three score and ten {70 years}

He was a born actor too...teachers could learn from him...
