DVD review: Micky Flanagan: The Out Out Tour

December 27, 2011   Martyn   4 Comments

If you like stand up comedy then you can’t go wrong with this offering from Micky Flanagan.
The DVD includes a whole host of new materiel, as well as some of his older material, which includes the jokes “out-out” and asking for ketchup in a restaurant.
Flanagan’s charm is that he comes across as less of a performer and more as a friend, talking to a room full of friends. Which adds to his warmth and depth.
Micky went to a school where driving a van was an ambition too far beyond the comprehension of the average student.
Micky is a skillful comedian and excels at observational humor. If you prefer your comedians safe, like Michael McIntyre, then this isn’t for you.
Micky Flanagan is a star in the making, it takes a serious amount of skill to turn the mundanity of watching a kettle boil, or running a bath into a laugh out loud stand-up routine, but he manages it effortlessly.
The DVD is available for £11.99 from amazon

    I first saw Micky Flanagan on Mock the week ,and I snapped this up as soon as I saw it,He is hillarious,not for the easily offended though. I was in stitches all the way through,can’t recommend highly enough, best stand up in years.

    I saw the Out Out set live in Scotland in October, and it was extremely funny throughout. Whilst there’s swears, Micky gets away with it because of the sheer likeability of his personality. Never trying too hard, and happily sending himself up, he weaved through a range of subjects, from his somewhat dozy childhood and late discovery of education, 80′s courtship rituals and out out nightclubbing in his (red leatherette, very tasteful) carpet slippers. He finished up with his absolutely hilarious take on the art of the peeping tom, which had the audience howling. Easily one of the very best stand up shows I’ve seen, with an effortless feelgood factor – absolutely unmissable.

    Saw the show in London, was in stitches the whole time. Micky is very funny, and a proper cockney!
