Greg Davies Live: The Back of My Mum's Head [DVD]

Product Information

Not that it is not funny because there are some funny moments in it but to me You Magnificent Beast was his best. Ed Gamble was delayed by a miserable rail service meltdown, and in voiceover Davies delights in the fact he’s shoving him straight on to the stage, 20 minutes later than planned, sweating and breathless after his run from the station. One of the items on the menu outlining the show is ‘discrediting children’, which he delivers as promised, along with a soundscape (largely for Davies’s own amusement that one) and ‘fun with a racist’ – a taxi-driver, naturally, whose ignorance towards different people is matched only by his ignorance towards pie composition. This show is funny, but to be clear, if you're looking for insight into the human condition you'll be better off eating a bun or picking up a stick.

First I saw You Magnificent Beast (2018) and then Firing Cheeseballs At A Dog (2011), and so now The Back Of My Mum's Head (2013). He seems genuinely excited to be brining the audience into his confidence, like close mates, even starting off by confessing to problems with his undergarments this evening. It’s a great conclusion to a uproarious night of anecdotes, told by a real pro, who rather than resting on his TV laurels is cementing his position of one of Britain’s finest storytelling comedians. It's just the fact that Greg Davies sometimes starts fake laughing about a joke he's going to tell and that is a bit annoying. Davies Snr makes a couple of appearances here, perhaps to recalibrate the meter of ‘normal behaviour’ and serve as a reminder of where Davies got his eccentricities from, even if watered down over the generation.Greg Davies - The Back of My Mum's HeadGreg Davies - The Back of My Mum's Head (Comedy) production archive for QTIX code T01719256889. While many comics spin out their tales seeking laughs in the details, Davies distils many his yarns down to only their funny essence, moving quickly from one tale to the next.

It turns out that it refers to the last thing the young Davies would see after being chastised for his odd behaviour.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. A couple of times, he presents a series of tales as a Top 5 countdown – of his favourite involuntary noises, or most shockingly inappropriate lines he’s heard – the former being punctuated by the audience’s cacophonous, ill-timed attempt at the old Pick Of The Pops theme. Please note that iUKTDb archive listings between March 2020 and July 2021 may not be accurate as we did not receive details of all rescheduled and cancelled shows. Davies himself doesn’t shy away from similarly ikky ground, and his stories can be charmingly horrific as he sugars the pill with his easy-going charisma. Star of BAFTA award-winning The Inbetweeners and BBC Three's Cuckoo, much-loved towering beacon of comedy Greg Davies is one of the most successful stand-ups in the UK.

It’s not normal, love,’ his mild-mannered mum would say, turning on her heels and walking off in exasperation.Foolish behaviour is just as likely to be celebrated than mocked, provided it comes from a place of child-like abandon. Still, Gamble – whose material is a good match for Davies’s self-deprecatory tales – deals with it well and slowly warms up the large audience with his tales of an intimate medical examination.
