The Fast Show Live

From 1998

[@TheTieDyeGuy79]

Anyone watching this in 2024 this comedy never gets old 😂

[@damo2172]

the old ones will allways be the best ones

[@jaredgriffiths1361]

I saw this years ago in Brighton and it was possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life! I literally hurt from laughing almost non stop for an hour and a half. Fantastic night. EDIT: I'm sitting here in tears - haven't laughed so much in ages!

[@marcinadamski6197]

Oh man, I'm Polish, I've watched Fast Show in Polish tv in High School nearly 20 years ago, I love it so much, especially the painters and jazz club, but all of those guys has a special place in my heart. Thanks for memories.

[@JordanRose88]

Love that you love it!

[@steveallen808909]

Jazz club in polish great 👍 🤣

[@rav-art]

I was there too 🇵🇱 , recently got myself dvd from this live show ;)

[@FallNorth]

Niiiiicceeeee!

[@gliderfan6196]

Same here. "Blaaaack!" and "Tune? It's jazz, man!" are proverbs in my family

[@NeilNZ]

🥰🤣 wonderful 🤣🥰 this was fabulous, or brillllllliant! Loved this show. Bought back the delightful memories 👍 wonderful. They really put this together exceptionally well 👍🤣🥰

[@thefreshprinceofdapto1668]

Watching the video of this show helped me through a nervous breakdown back in 2000. Thank you Fast Show.

[@sratus]

All good now mate?

[@pqrstzxerty1296]

@Pasu suel Quite true. Save a little for yourself, and keep your sanity.

[@jockmazza]

Bless you. if you need a friend.. msg me. had my issues also

[@jamesrowden303]

@@jockmazza I think 4 years is too long to offer help. Nice try though.

[@JayMaverick]

It's been over 2 decades and I still find myself using Fast Show oneliners, half the time not even realizing I'm doing it. They really made a lasting impression.

[@GazFunkstar]

Was just going to watch a couple of bits of this....and ended up watching the whole bloody thing. Absolutely brilliant 👏

[@tomb2289]

Watching in 2021 when every last pelican has been set alight 🔥

[@Gruntcakes69]

Thank you so much for posting this, absolute gold 👌🏽

[@lookouthumanitarian]

This and. The TVs series got me through some pretty dark times, I've always wanted to show gratitude for the laughs when they were very thin on the ground everywhere else. I wish there was more that's my only gripe! ❤️ To all who made and enjoy the show. Grrrreat

[@TheLoxxxton]

A blast from the past and memories of wild times not ever forgotten

[@jockmazza]

Sending u love mate

[@ianhart4990]

I had this on dvd with backstage footage. The logistics for the costume and stage changes were amazing!

[@andrewt836]

I was there! Fast show and shooting stars live. What an evening.

[@marksadventures3889]

Were you very, very drunk?

[@andrewt836]

@@steb430 why would I lie about it. It was at the Hammersmith Apollo

[@jonnygti]

Seen this a long time ago, but forgotten parts of it, so watched it again, it’s absolute class, such a shame they don’t make this show anymore. One of my favourites from this live show was when the gardener (ted) and his boss (Charlie Higson) break out into song, genius😁😂😂😂

[@greigclement9081]

Its so cool that British tv comedy shows could go on live tours in the UK. Fast show, Bottom, Little Britain, League of Gentlemen, etc Most of them got recorded for dvd except for recent Harry Enfeld/Paul Whitehouse 2015 tour.

[@bricktop.]

The Bottom live shows are some of the finest creations ever commited to film. Richie & Eddie were absolute gold!

[@attackpatterndelta8949]

My uncle went to see the League of Gentlemen tour and made the mistake of sitting on the end of a row. At one point, Mark Gatiss walked out into the audience in a leather waistcoat and assless chaps, and draped himself across my uncle’s lap.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Man! I haven't watched The Fast Show Live in a long time. I first watched in The Fast Show in 1997 and I became a fan. When my Aunty and Uncle came to visit me in 1998, they gave me, my parents and my brother a VHS of The Fast Show Live and they had no idea that I watched and was a fan of The Fast Show. I now own all 3 seasons on DVD. The Fast Show Live is 80 minutes of pure hilarious entertaining comedy.

[@johnhance5868]

Nice one sharing this video 👏👏👏 i loved watching the fast show back in the day, but i had absolutely no idea they got together to make this live show, I loved every minute of it thank you 👏👏👏

[@SeeDaRipper...]

Such a shame Caroline Aherne couldn't make it...RIP girl...Scorchio!

[@jonnygti]

“ my wardrobe is full of DEATH!” SLAP!! “Oh is it lunch time”😂😂😂

[@paulharrison2557]

I remember the folking folk songs sketch, I don't think I ever laughed as hard as first time I sat that!

[@nickfox4766]

That was so good, brings back a lot of happy memories.

[@paulduckworth316]

Best comedy series I've seen in my 40years as the 13th Duke of Wimborne and with my reputation......

[@DiscoCol08]

OMG Donna Ewin, a blast from the past....

[@LALakersNornIron]

Stunning woman.

[@GinolasSon]

Monkfish- You. I got an equation for you! Piss. Off! 🤣🤣🤣

[@wendydee3007]

BRILLIANT, all genius :o)

[@genius8698]

Bloody fantastic and probably the best comedy show ever seen on television.

[@biscuitpocket7283]

Totally agree with you.... 🍪pocket.

[@natk8673]

I watched the DVD of this probably 50 times when I was a kid

[@kkrispy2009P]

Great show . To see it live thanks 4 sharing

[@vaughancapstick9961]

Wow. What a team 👏 😃❤💕 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Qu33nandRuler789]

Everything just brilliant 😇😇😇

[@leslielandberg5620]

Some of the jokes are actually ancient. But the delivery, timing and panache breathe life into them.

[@jackchilli]

I saw this live at the Hammersmith Apollo in 1998. Shooting Stars performed a live show before this show started.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

My aunty and uncle gave us the videotape and they did not know that I was actually a fan of The Fast Show.

[@GnCFilms]

That explains why there's a poster of Matt Lucas outside of the theatre on the DVD. Thanks for that! How was Shooting Stars live? Can't believe they've never released that.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I like Matt Lucas and Shooting Stars.

[@TB.....]

GnC Films Shooting stars that night didn't go down too well if I remember rightly. Didnt get too many laughs. Fast show team really did well though.

[@colinscholey]

i was there too yes!!!!!!

[@thepieman4398]

anyone who doesn't know the Fast Show must be wondering what the fuck is going on! For the rest of us, utter bliss. Catchphrase fest!

[@donnyrover1]

ted and ralph... superb

[@leejones8582]

That music is so 90s

[@SawItComingNot]

The best 1 hour 20 minutes on KZbin 🤣🤣🤣

[@SawItComingNot]

Although the Swiss Toni episode with Tom Baker is a cracker too.

[@READYTEDDYBEAR]

That Paul Whitehouse being sick is fucking killer. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 They did it in The Fast Show tour in Glasgow and it got the same boos and groans and went to Unlucky Alf in box. 😂😂😂😂 Fucking genius! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@julzyboy1973]

Does anyone else remember two of the cast, one of which was Thomson, they did a sketch where they had hunchbacks, mophead hair cuts and did some funny dancing? Would love to see that sketch again. Soooo funny!

[@julzyboy1973]

***** Any chance you can upload that sketch please. Love to see them doing that again.

If you click on 50:56 and then 1:09:14, it will look as if Rowley Birkin is cracking up laughing over Bob Fleming's disgusting sound he makes with his nose.

All I know is Paul made him Irish purely to piss off Graham Linehan, and that makes me VERY happy! 😂😂

[@cdname47]

at what point did Billy bleach and the "someone sitting there mate" characters become merged into one?

[@GnCFilms]

I think it was Series 3 - I noticed that too.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

There were some sketches in Series 3 which Billy Bleach says to other characters "Someone's sitting there".

[@darkstar2315]

Hold the bells!

[@alistairmscott]

Ha, thanks, I knew that one! I was wondering about the club/dance tune at the very beginning.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

1:04:48 That's what they could had done in the TV show. After the closing credits, Jesse appears and says "This week, I..." but it cuts.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

33:06 "Clean your balls" LOL
