Tim Vine: So I Said to This Bloke...

Tim Vine is definitely a comic genius. While some say his goofy style is too reminiscent of Tommy Cooper, Vine's act is actually very different. Unlike Cooper, Vine incorporates not comedic magic into his act but well- constructed comedy songs, such as "Alarm-bells". Moreover, Vine's act features various goofy set-pieces, including "Pen behind the ear" and "Flag hippo", all of which provide amusing refreshment between his jokes and puns.

Vine had recorded one stand-up DVD before this one, titled "Tim Vine: Live", which had all the puns but somehow didn't fully come together as a seminal performance. In this DVD, however, it's evident that the comedian has honed his act and, armed with his box of visual gags, delights the audience with his quick-fire style. As a bonus, the DVD contains a host of interesting extras, including one featuring Tim's father telling a joke.
