Customer Reviews

Tim Vine Yards Ahead...
" Tim will undoubtedly batter you into a submission of laughter... " There you go... a " one-liner " review.

A Man Walks Into A Bar.... OUCH!
Tim Vine may be very funny to people, and very fast at making one liners, but his comedy really doesn't translate to me on the stage of a comedy club. This is 1hr of quick-fire one-liners, with 3 songs thrown in and his make up lady walking on to take the sweat off his brow. His jokes are rather immature, and would be better off on a school playground, not really the sort of jokes you'd pay £30 in a theatre to see.

I wouldn't say I was being snobby about his jokes, but they're the sort of thing I told when I was a kid: quick jokes which mainly use word play, but basic word play at best.

If this comedy does amuse you, then great, but it's really not that good in my opinion. I much prefer jokes from Peter Kay, Tommy Cooper, Alexei Sayle and many more. If you do like Tim, then you might want to check out Dusty Young, he's a quick witted man who mainly does Patrick and Mick jokes - but at least his follow on, Tim's sadly don't.

I hate writing reviews like this, but I think it's only fair people know what his comedy is like, and having that Guinness World Of Records sticker might encourage you, but it doesn't really appeal to everyone.

This is good for younger people though, I mean this is quite suitable for a 12 year old, but the other question is, will they enjoy it?

Definitely rent this, don't buy it, even the extras don't resurrect what could have been so good. Pity as his quick jokes really hit a chord with me in The Sketch Show. There is commentary from Tim explaining his act, but I couldn't stomach it.

good clean fun
i loved this. it's really good clean fun, witty and sharp and a refreshing change compared to a lot of stuff that passes for comedy. you have to watch it a lot to catch all the jokes, that's because there are so many. I also liked the "Deep" dance video (an extra on the DVD) for some reason i can't quite fathom, as it's really catchy & looks like everyone concerned had a laugh making it.
