Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Wordiezett So much average
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
arnelvin Rowan Atkinson Live is the pinnacle of Rowan's stand up performances up to date. The brilliant acting Rowan brings especially in scenes where he doesn't even utter a single word were just phenomenally hilarious. A great example is a scene from "Elementary Dating" where he greets his date's parents in different manners, in a casual way and an overly-done way. Another strength here is his delivery in wordy sketches which, although he is famous for wordless slapstick sketches, was hilarious enough to make me appreciate him more as an overall comedian. "The Wedding From Hell" is a great example for this, especially the Father speech (it was funny as hell my eyes literally teared!). We all knew Rowan Atkinson as a physical, universal, or slapstick comedian for his most famous project (I don't even need to mention anything, I think you know) and we all take him as that. But this performance proves otherwise. It proves that he is a versatile entertainer that we should all look up to when it comes to pure comedy.
schenko This summary of all of Mr. Bean's and Rowan's favorites make Rowan Atkinson live! the best comedy collection available in the world. I've seen a lot of comedy and nothing beats this one. It is witty, funny, smart and unexpected. If you've seen mr. bean before and don't like it because it seems a bit dumb, this collection has some sketches that may change the way you think about British comedy and about the mastermind and genius of Rowan Atkinson (don't anyone come and tell me about the genius of Tarantino!). This is the real genius and this will be a classic for years to come and something really difficult to beat for the young kids thinking of making comedy themselves (I'm 22, don't think I'm a bitter old man). Thank you Rowan Atkinson for making me laugh for so many years (I'm talking as if he were dead!).
Douglas I agree with all the comments here; the tape, which now seems to be out of print, is great. However, I have a version that was released in 1997 by PolyGram, and it is missing three of the sketches listed here: Thomas, Richard and Harold; Elementary Dating; and Guys After the Game. It does have one sketch, A Final Bash, that the earlier version did not have. In this, Atkinson mimes playing an elaborate drum set. Still, I would give anything to see the 1991 version. I have no clue why these changes were made.
Bass2 These sketches show that there is much more to Rowan Atkinson than Mr. Bean! From an excellent portrayal of Lucifer, the devil to an actor who can't win an award, to an Indian waiter; he keeps the audience laughing.The video lets you be amongst the audience and watch humour, some intelligent, some plain dirty. It doesn't matter because by the end of the last sketch you're sorry there isn't any more. Angus Deayton not only supports Rowan, but also delivers an excellent performance in his own right.
