Dave Allen – Giving up smoking

Categorized: give up smoking | 26 comments

Particularly heartfelt routine from 1984 – well, we know it was based on personal experience! Around this time he seemed to be developing the observational side of his act and leaving behind the more traditional jokes. His subject is giving up smoking.

    I don’t get why …
    I don’t get why he’s not more well known in America. He’s a lot like Bill Hicks (rather, Hicks is a lot like Allen), and he makes the same sort of observations as George Carlin, but less bluntly.

    If you spit in the street you can be fined £25.
    If your dog fouls the footpath you can be fined £20.
    Solution: Aim your spit directly onto your dog’s turd.

    Awesome. He really held your attention and I love the “My your god go with you” end to his shows. Imagine him doing a show in a small club with the chair, whiskey and today. Still totally relevant.
