He was a bloody good comedian.

I can quote some of his best jokes/sketches word for word, especially the ‘telling the time’ sketch:

But let’s not pretend he was any more than very good. I can name a dozen comedians in my lifetime who were/are better than him. Rowan Atkinson and Rik Mayall for two.

I agree. I think that Dave Allen was ahead of his time. He was innately funny.

Thank you. Goodnight. And may your God go with you
