Milton Jones - Lion Whisperer [DVD]

Having already seen this tour live (Click here to read my review) I'm not going to go over old ground and talk about the gig which, if you read my review, know I really enjoyed.

For those of you who now have read that review pretty much all the excellent jokes of that set have come across onto the DVD with perhaps one or two extra laughs as well. There are a few changes that do impact on the overall feel. Firstly the jokes customised to the area of the gig obviously changed, and there's little that can be done about that, but with the moving of Milton's grandad from the beginning to the middle of the set, you do lose the great opening joke of late comers turning up. I can only assume that, with the setting of the night, this wasn't possible.

What you do get in replacement is a few extra filmed sections of Milton's grandad backstage with some jokes thrown in.

Though no DVD is ever going to replace the experience of seeing an act live this DVD includes most of what was in the performance I saw with those laughs now yours to treasure on tape.

Well worth a pick up for a subdued and easy-going but hilarious 70 mins of one-liners.
