Craig Ferguson: A Wee Bit o' Revolution

Love Creig miss him on late night but this dvd was fun to watch.

Stand up Craig Ferguson

I love Craig Ferguson although he uses curse words often heard growing up in a blue collar city in Scotland with working middle class parents I read about in his autobiography American on Purpose and I ADMIRE his complete honesty of where he came from what he went through (Alcoholic-been sober about 20 yrs!) been to those meeting in basements of churches he says you can find by looking at VERY first pages in PHONE book! HA! His recovery in a long tern 6 month rehab in Scotland not one 30 days for celebs, funny and very sad stories alcoholics all learn to laugh and cry at that find recovery I can relate to myself,and his intense determination to come to America and BE a citizen after visiting an Uncle here who was a gardener one summer when he was 12? and he returned home more determined than ever to come back. He took the LONG way to get here as told in his Biography American on Purpose-This book lets Craig be Craig with no bleeps, etc. just gut level honest comedy never scripted- he does that few can like Don Rickles, Jonathon Winters, Robin Williams, best kind I like knowing it all just COMES into their heads! And he realizes how blessed he has been and is still humble and not in the social circle of Hollywood. So this book let me read more funny stories, many or most real of his never turned off mind that thankfully he still has! A must read for anyone liking gut level comedy not offended at some swearing that you can tell is ingrained from his life in Scotland and you have to take it with the laughs!

I have to preface this review by saying that I am a fan of Craig's and his Late Night show. I have also seen his stand up show. This video is copy of that stand up show. I saw his show in Atlantic City and enjoyed it but thought he toned down the video a bit from the show I saw. On the road, Craig does not hold his tongue and often uses some choice words, but I think he held back a bit in this video. In his stand up he is known to adlib some parts of the gig and I think he chose not to do so much of that on this video. The video still represents the same show that I saw in AC. I enjoyed the video and also liked the fact that he added the speech he gave in Boston, last July 4, 2008 as well as an unscripted interview with him and a unknown interviewer. If you are a fan you will enjoy the video. If you like comedy you will enjoy the video. If you are not a fan yet, watch his show a few times first. He has great timing and is truely one of comedy's best. Then get the video. The TV persona - cleaner. Stand up persona - dirtier. Craig - truely funny!

Craig Ferguson is one of the best comedians of all time. I have been a big fan of him ever since he was Mr. Wick on Drew Carey's sitcom before hosting The Late Late Show and his new game show, Celebrity Name Game. Unlike all the other late night hosts, he doesn't make jokes about celebrities about their drug addictions or alcohol problems since he has had similar experiences himself. What I really liked about him was that he chose to cut out the Batman jokes due to the shooting in my old hometown of Aurora and despite the fact that he swears way more than any other late night host, he is also a classy man. Trust me since I met the Scotsman in person and he's the nicest man you could ever meet in person. Trust me, his stand up specials are definitely worth it.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is our fave TV show. Craig is hilariously irreverent and the funniest guy on late night by far. Just listen to the audience; Craig gets actual LAUGHS while the other guys predominantly get applause; like a pat on the head for being clever. Having said that, this DVD was nowhere near as funny as Craig's late night show. He needs Geoff; they complement each other like the new Laurel & Hardy, but funnier and contemporary and irreverent. This DVD was surprisingly lacking teeth. It's almost as if Craig needs a censor so he knows exactly how hard to ride the line. Still a fan, but his TV show is just better.

Admittedly, Craig has been a favorite of mine for a good number of years because: I like his perspective on relatable subjects. His delivery, which includes his sheer delight in making people laugh (or think), an undeniable amount of sexiness, and that Scottish accent. This routine has it all as he plucks situations from his real life in chronological order. I watched it twice, one sitting. VERY funny, VERY charming. Also enjoyed the brief interview he did, being less 'on'.

The 1st time I remember seeing Craig Ferguson was on the Late, Late Show. I decided to get his book & discovered this DVD while looking on Amazon. I am very happy with this DVD! My wife & I watched it in her hospital room and the one drawback was, it hurt her stomach when she laughed (which was often), due to a procedure she had done. We will have to watch it again when she is feeling better. Craig is very entertaining and it is refreshing to have someone in the entertainment industry that actually loves America! If you like his TV show, you'll like this DVD. Unlike the TV, the DVD is not censored, so if you have a delicate ear, be forwarned. Neither my wife nor I found it offensive, though.

GREAT....Craig is funnier than funny in this DVD. Great grab!
