Peter Kay: Live at the Top of the Tower

Filmed in front of a very small audience at the top of Blackpool Tower, Peter Kay makes his stand-up debut in style. Compared to his later shows, this one isn't as funny, it has a different feel to it and Peter Kay doesn't deliver as strongly as his later tours. This isn't a criticism of Top of the Tower but more of a compliment to how well he progressed and improved over the years. It is very common for comedians to start strong and slowly get worse over time, in my opinion; Peter Kay is an exception to this. Many of his well-known jokes are told here, 'Its spitting', 'Garlic Bread', 'Rola Cola' and many more are all on this.

Although over done over the years it still gets laughs from me every time I watch it. Peter Kay has the ability to come across charming and a very likable person, from a working class background telling jokes which almost every person watching can relate to.

Peter Kay has gone on to be incredibly successful, this is where his stand up days all began and seeing him looking so young really makes me feel old!

8/10

This is without doubt one of the best stand up shows ever done in the history of comedy.Everything from people speaking with their hands to "Garlic......Bread" and Rola Cola is just brilliant.Also about when people go on holiday the first thing they do is phone home and your parents cleaning the house so that it is nice and clean for the robbers.

10/10

If you like Peter Kay in Phoenix Nights youll love this.

This video is for everyone!!! It is just so funny from the very start! Peter Kay talks about holidays like when you ring home you always ask what is the wheather like at home! He also talks about school dinnerladies! School trips and also booking a hoilday on cefax!! 10/10 Excellent

This is OFFICIALLY the best stand up comedian on the face of the planet. No, honestly, he is!!!!

Live at the top of the tower is quite simply the funniest thing you can see on a screen. Having seen him last night on his current Mum Needs A Bungalow tour, I cannot wait for more Peter Kay Live DVDs coming out.

Put simply, buy this video, then go see him live! But be warned, you might wet your pants laughing!

Peter Kay delivers experience from his life in this excellent stand-up routine, performed at Blackpool's Tower. His comedy style is experience from his life, which most people living in England can identify with.... i know i do! Everything from making rose perfume to booking holidays off teletext make for 90 minutes of non-stop laughs!! I hope he decides to make more stand up Videos/DVD's, but i hope there are different jokes in the next video, unlike other comedians (e.g. Lee Evans) who continue their jokes into each video they make! Well i've got to get going, so in the words of Peter Kay... Packed It, Booked It, F**ked Off!!
