it could just be cos it's more familiar, but it's nice to listen to him weave stories whereas bill hicks doesn't really appeal in the same way

I was watching Dave Allen and Les Dawson round cesares when i was in london and it's the same. the jokes aren't exactly brilliant, but it's still enjoyable to hear normal people talking shit

He was very funny but a bit of a knob. i think he'd change the knobness given time and the direction he was heading. Simple.

Dave Allen also seemed daring and original in the 1980s.

They were great for their time. Comedy is mostly of its time. There isn't much that works outside its own context. That's why Shakespeare is so incredible.

It's just that apparently that was what MLK was originally going to say.
