Many, many years ago I was dating a young American lass who was studying in London. She had never heard of Dave Allen so, for a laugh, I took her to see him live. Admittedly he was slightly more risqué in his live performance and occasionally used the 'F' word but he was a complete showman and really knew how to play an audience. My date thought him hilarious, even when he cracked a few jokes at her expense (she had a particularly loud laugh). Anyway, when Allen reappeared for his encore he had with him a bottle of champagne and two glasses. He poured both glasses, then walked down into the audience and handed one to my date. She was overjoyed and squealed with delight. I was just thrilled to be so close to the great man. What a performance, what an evening and what a gentleman! His like will probably not be seen again.

Although Dave routinely had fun with different religions he was never bigoted, vicious, cruel, used foul language or had an iota of hate in him. He was hugely intelligent, thought provoking and could tell a story that had you from the first word to last. As a kid he was my favourite comic on tv - it's only when they're gone do you realise how special some folk are.

Now if he did this with Islam? Not a woke comment, just a perceived observation. I love the Lord Jesus, but hey, I can laugh. He is a genius. If God had an issue with this man, then He would have an issue with me, as I find him funny. As you say, there is no maliciousness in his humour. And I agree, just pure slapstick.

He didn't use fiwl language because it wasn't allowed on tv back then. He did droo a clanger in I think a Parkinson intwrview once. They bleeoed it out for tv. Having had the pkeasure if seeing him twice on stage I can tell you he was certainly foul mouthed. But, really funny. My Grandma was Irish Catholic and taught by nuns. She had all her children baptised as C of E or who ever else was available at the time.

+philster611 Much better than people like Bill Maher, Ricky Gervais or Jimmy Carr who do religious jokes, Dave had a down to earth approach. He never ridiculed anyone's belief in a God, it was religion and the rules and the stupidity of religion which he detested, and did not have any quarrel with people who believed in an afterlife/deity.

I am old enough to have enjoyed Dave Allen first time round. As a youngster I was becoming very doubtful about religion but was not articulate enough to discuss it in my social environment. Suddenly this guy appeared on TV and became a witty advocate for atheism. I took a lot of comfort from this. Dave Allen, you were a great guy.

I had a similar experience with George Carlin and later on, once I moved to the UK, I discovered Dave. A man of true elegance and grace, of razor sharp with and eloquence. His humour I believe was a product of his many other qualities, and he was superb at it. I to this day speak in a rather peculiar manner for someone my age, particularly because as a young man I tried to emulate people like Allen. I'm glad to hear you found your comfort in knowing atheists can be funny, kind and cheerful. I sure am.

I must be a similar age to you. If Dave Allen was on TV, my parents would let me watch it, even when I hadn't reached 10, but I wasn't allowed to talk. We laughed a lot, but nary a word was spoken, not even in the silent sketches like the best one ever (shown in this video. I couldn't tell you how often I've watched it!) After the show, we talked all about it!

Great collection. I remember these shows back in the 70s and 80s. Amazingly, I was allowed to stay up past 9 on a Saturday to watch him (when I was about 10). I think it was because I couldn't get to sleep until after the show ended because my parents were laughing so loud 😂 Thanks for the upload!

Growing up Irish-Catholic must have been a very negative experience for a lot of Irish people. I'm a black Catholic but went to an Irish-Catholic grammar school. It was the most traumatic time in my life. I'm still a devout Catholic but I made sure that none of my kids went to religious schools and that doesn't only apply to Catholic ones, I attended a Presbyterian college for a trimester; same experience. Like a Jewish doctor friend of mine once said "I love GOD it's HIS 'employees' that I don't like;" my exact sentiments.

I am glad that my Dad used to watch this guy when I was a kid, it made me think about the topics Dave Allen talks about instead of just believing what I was told. Funny thing is, my Dad went on to become a lay preacher. And that last gag at the end about the wall in Heaven I still quote today. Sums up religion to me.

A novice nun joins a convent, she is shown her simple room with a mattress and blanket and has one meal a day. She has taken a vow of silence but once a year can speak only 2 words. The end of the first year she goes before the mother superior and says "more food", another year goes by and she goes before the mother superior and says "more blankets". At the end of the third year she goes again before the mother superior and says "can't stay", the mother superior says "thank God you've done nothing but complain since you got here".

A priest is walking home from work, when he sees a small boy in the street with a box of kittens. "Wow, there's some cute kittens you've got there, son!" Says the priest"Yes, they're Christian kittens" The boy replies "Aw, thats sweet" A week later, the same priest is walking back from a church meeting with his friend, when he sees the same boy with his kittens. "Judy, go and ask that boy what he's got in that box. He's got the cutest answer" Said the man Judy walks over to the boy and asks: "Hey, what do you have there? Those kittens are so sweet" "Yes" Replies the boy "They're Atheist kittens" "What?" Said the priest "Last week you said they were Christian kittens" "Yeah, but now their eyes are open" Replied the boy

At a Catholic Sunday school a group of students were asked what they wanted to be when they grow up. The first kid said I want to be a firefighter, another said I want to be a priest, and this girl said, "I want to be a prostitute". The nun looks at the child in utter horror and says "You want to be a what?" The girl responds "a prostitute". The nun sighs relief and says "Good, for a second I thought you said you wanted to be a protestant."
