Tim Vine Live DVD review + watch stand-up comedy video
By Dave Tommo on Mar 11, 2009 in Reviews and Commentary, Videos | Tags: Comedians, Comedy, DVDs, Stand-up comedy, Tim Vine, youtube
I recently had the pleasure of watching the Tim Vine Live DVD.
Tim Vine holds the record for the most jokes told in a certain amount of time - it says on the cover of the DVD "Guinness world record holder for telling the most jokes in an hour".
He rattles them out at a furious pace. He uses props including a dictaphone which he refers to throughout the show. I found myself pausing the DVD on a number of occasions just to catch my breath. He really does crank them out. He's like a human joke telling machine gun.
This show was recorded in 2004 but it's still fresh. Tim is one of those comedians you're gonna love or hate. He's sort of in the same shop as the late great Tommy Cooper, with his sweating and the occasional pleading look out at the audience.
I recommend this DVD as a good night in with some friends and a few drinks. You too will have aching jaw muscles by the end!
