Having seen two other Dave Spikey DVDs bought Living the Dream - wasn't disappointed. Great Northern comic.
I bought this on a bit of a whim. I quite like Dave Spikey in person, the guy on the chat shows etc (though that 8 out of 10 cats is truly beneath him) and he put in a sterling performance on Phoenix Nights, but this just didn't match up. It was a bargain purchase at 99p in excellent used condition, and certainly I have no issues at all with the seller, but I just didn't like it. There were a couple of moments I found humourous but no belly laughs from me. Dave seemed quite nervous at the beginning of the show, which I always find a bit tortuous! He settled into his routine and some of his observations were funny but a lot of them were just gross and a bit too traditional comedy house standard. He's obviously a very northern comic, and even though I'm quite local to him, it was oceans away from the sort of humour I find entertaining. Don't let it put you off sampling his work, though like me, you might have to be prepared to turn it off before the end :(Read full review
Dave Spikey is probably one of the unsung comedy heroes. Peter Kay seems to get all or most of the credit when Phoenix Nights wouldnt be half as good without Gerry the compare! This DVD is Dave as his best, I wouldnt say its laugh out loud every second but the funny stuff is very funny and its a dvd you could put on in front of your elderly parents and not be frightened of offending them with load of bad language. If you can get to seem his live act then go, Ive just been and he was hillarious, some material could be found on the DVD but the second half of the show was brill.
Such a funny man. Second DVD even better than the first. He is pushing forward with new material whilst Peter Kay is still cracking on about Bullseye and offering compilations of all his old stuff! Forget Peter Kay, forget Paddy Whatshisface, get into Dave Spikey! Class act!
If you loved Phoenix Nights and watching Peter Kay then you will definetly LOVE this DVD. Dave Spikey is doing just what it says on the cover living the dream recomended to all who like a good laugh
