DVDs from various stand up comics are very popular at this time of the year, and they sell by the bucketload because they make excellent Christmas presents. So which stand up comedy DVDs are worth getting this year, either for yourself or for your friends and family?
Well there are five that caught my eye and they are as follows:
1. Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing
Michael McIntyre is the funniest comedian around at the moment in my opinion, and he is really starting to establish himself as a top-class comic. His hilarious appearance on Live At The Apollo last week will have helped, but the great thing about Michael McIntyre is that he is exceptionally funny, both in terms of his actual material and the way he delivers his jokes. I maybe biased because I'm a huge fan, but this is my top choice of stand up DVD this Christmas.
2. Lee Evans - Big - Live At The O2
Lee Evans' DVD was close behind because he is also one of the best comedians around. He is already a household name and indeed one of the most popular comedians in the world, however I still find McIntyre to be slightly funnier. If you are a Lee Evans fan, however, you will love this new DVD because it features two and a half hours of brand new material and is a must-have item for any Lee Evans fan.
3. Frankie Boyle Live
Frankie Boyle is a stand up comic who has become a pretty big name in comedy thanks to his constant appearances on Mock The Week in the last few years. Indeed every week he completely steals the show and outshines all the other comedians who appear on there with his brilliantly savage and near-the-knuckle brand of humour. So this DVD promises to provide lots of laughs if his appearances on Mock The Week are anything to go by.
4. Dara O'Briain Talks Funny - Live In London
I don't personally think Dara O'Briain adds anything to Mock The Week, but despite that his stand up material is actually very good. I saw one of his live shows on TV a few months ago and it was extremely funny so if this is a benchmark, then it's a fair bet that his new DVD will be equally as funny.
5. Bill Bailey - Tinselworm
My final choice of DVD is the new one from Bill Bailey. What I like about Bill Bailey is that he is obviously a very talented musician and his musical material is just as impressive and as funny as the more conventional stand-up stuff he does. This DVD filmed at Wembley Stadium should be just as funny as his previous DVDs, which are also brilliant.
