Customer Reviews

Frankie Boyle is my favourite stand up comedian ,his unique brand of coruscating gallows humour make me HOWL with laughter and tickle my tonsils, his sometimes cruel observations, witty one liners pull no punches and I love him for his honesty ,brilliant self deprecation and Ginger hair.Only the closeted racists, misogynists, homophobes ,anti-disability brigade would find his humour offensive. Political Correctness has destroyed Freedom of speech and expression, offering the kind of bland fare that might be TV friendly but paradoxically doesn't speak on behalf of those excluded from the mainstream media. Being Gay, Black or Disabled doesn't remove one's sense of humour, as often laughter, especially a raucous cackle in the dark can help make a difficult Life more bearable and mitigate the feelings of injustice and disempowerment. To make assumptions about what minorities find hilarious/acceptable is both patronising, condescending and missing the point; one's situation might be dire and tragic, but laughter is a balm that will ease many aches through the darkest times. Don't bristle with self righteousness because you feel offended, the jokes are ultimately on YOU not us.

Hi i own this DVD and would warn anybody thinking of buying it,this is not Frankies mock the week persona,it is his stage act the two are VASTLY different, Frankies stage act contains lots of graphic references and swearing be warned do not buy as a prezzie unless you know the person is not offended by such,to anybody who likes Frankie this is top notch stuff with bad taste jokes about everything under the sun taking the mick out of the audience to current happenings in and out of the news,i was not disappointed which is why i gave 5 stars if as he said this is his last tour he certainly went out on a high.
