Dave Allen

I loved his skits on the Church! I used to watch him with my dad. Good memories.

I loved Dave Allen. Funny and handsome with a lovely Irish lilt.

Good night and may your God go with you was his sign off.

Remember him well with his good looks Irish wit and whiskey glass when he picked it up you see he had lost the tip off a finger.

I loved Dave Allen. Very handsome as well.

And Spike Milligan too. So funny!

Dave Allen was a favourite of ours, we remember him as a dishy young man on a bar stool with his glass of whiskey but he was equally good as he got older. Loved his monologues and his irreverent sketches about Catholicism.
Can’t think of anyone like that today.

loopyloo

And Spike Milligan too. So funny!

He was daft as a brush but hilarious.
Am not sure if is t true but is said the epitaph on his gravestone is ‘I told you I was I’ll.’

Correction - ‘I told you I was ill.’

My husband worked with him on Dave Allen's one man show at the Haymarket. Behind the stage every evening they had a sweepstake for what time the show would finish. Dave Allen knew this and used to come off stage asking who'd won each night. It could vary 10 - 15 minutes depending on his audience!
We had a lovely engagement gift from him.
So funny in real life.

Handsome and witty - I often wondered how he lost one tiger - I could read it up online, I suppose.

My gran loved him.

Yes I liked him too.
Funny and so good to look at

There was something gentle about his humour - never cruel.

Loved him!

I loved him too! Many years ago, went to the Haymarket with my late husband to see his live show, he was brilliant!

He was the best ever! Nobody since can compare. Handsome, smart, intelligent and super funny.

He was part of the reason I quit smoking. I remembered him saying he was not prepared to pay to kill himself by smoking so he quit. I did the same.

I saw him do a show a couple of years before he passed away, he was hysterical, same format, the drink and a tall stool.
I was so fortunate, as I also saw Spike Milligan, that man was brilliant. Even one of his on stage backing group had to leave the stage, as the poor man was crying with laughter and couldn't continue, how many times had he seen that show? Milligan obviously changed it daily.
The one who surprised me was seening Eric Sykes, he was so funny.
I am so please I saw these comic geniuses before they passed away.

Loved his TV shows. You always knew you were in for a treat.

Saw his live show years ago and was one the funniest shows myself and OH have ever seen -

Loved Dave Allen. Saw him live years ago and he was so funny. A great evening.

Yes, he was so funny but in a dead-pan way which made it even funnier.

Instead of the dross that is served up now on tv perhaps they could run repeats of these comedy greats.

I agree Allira would love to see and hear him again. Intelligent humour delivered so well.
