I have all his old DVDs and I like recalibrate as well, but I'll copy and paste a text I sent to my misses who is also a big fan.
"Yeah his last one was good he actually told stories, this one it was like he was just after applause, saying things everyone obviously agrees with and bringing his views into it and then being incredibly hypocritical. The first half was shocking and then he told 1 sort of decent story at the end. He's found what makes him money and it's sucking up to 20 year old brain washed students, so unfortunately he's not for me anymore."
When he told stories it was actually good and the interaction with the crowd was good, but the preachy stuff was too much for me, not because I don't agree with it, It just doesn't make me laugh, save it for the correct setting where things can be done about it. No matter what you say he isn't the same comedian from years gone by, he was much better back then!
The only reason this hasn't scored lower is because of the documentary that is included. If it was based on that alone that would of got a 7/8 because I really enjoyed that. I still like him as a person I just don't find his TV show (which at one time was the best thing on BBC Three) or his stand up funny anymore.
I expect to get hate from those brain washed students, but just remember I was a fan and supporting the fella back when he was on mock the week, you're new to the party , you probably don't have a clue how good he used to be!
