Rowan Atkinson Live is the pinnacle of Rowan's stand up performances up to date. The brilliant acting Rowan brings especially in scenes where he doesn't even utter a single word were just phenomenally hilarious. A great example is a scene from "Elementary Dating" where he greets his date's parents in different manners, in a casual way and an overly-done way. Another strength here is his delivery in wordy sketches which, although he is famous for wordless slapstick sketches, was hilarious enough to make me appreciate him more as an overall comedian. "The Wedding From Hell" is a great example for this, especially the Father speech (it was funny as hell my eyes literally teared!). We all knew Rowan Atkinson as a physical, universal, or slapstick comedian for his most famous project (I don't even need to mention anything, I think you know) and we all take him as that. But this performance proves otherwise. It proves that he is a versatile entertainer that we should all look up to when it comes to pure comedy.

Roawn is incredibly talented, as you will be laughing hard throughout!, plus my favorite sketch has to be No One Called Jones!. Angus Deayton is also very good as Rowan's partner, and Rowan is always so unpredictable you never know what he is gonna do or is gonna come up with next!, plus Rowan is incredibly versatile and can play any type of role!. This is a brilliant absolutely brilliant, Rowan Atkinson, is simply put a genius!, it's some of the funniest sketches i have ever seen!, and i say Go see it immediately!.Here is what i think of the sketches!.#1. It Started With A Sneeze. This is pretty funny, however we have seen it before with Mr. Bean in the church, however it's still pretty funny to watch, as there is plenty of laughter to be had. Grade B#2 Warm Welcome. This is really funny, as Rowan plays the Devil, there is lots of funny stuff here, and while it is a bit too short, it has plenty of laughs, i especially loved the line in the end (i hope to see you all at the barbecue bye!). Grade B+ #3. Fatal Beatings. This is my 2nd favorite next to No One Called Jones, this is absolutely hilarious as Rowan plays a principal and meets with a student's father, it's a sick style of humor and may be an acquired taste for some but i found it absolutely hilarious , especially the ending Grade A#4 And Now Nazareth The Amazing. This is decent, and had me chuckling a couple of times, however it's not as good as the rest,that being said it's still well worth checking out, as it is funny. Grade C+#5 Invisible Man This is quite amusing, and while short, it still provides you with plenty of chuckles, as Rowan is incredible in this one!, i just wished it was longer. Grade B#6 The Good Loser.This is very funny, as Rowan Plays a sore loser, but it's all very funny, as i found myself cracking up a lot during this one, and what really made me laugh is when the host picked someone else Rowan blurts out (Oh Sh*t), i liked it a lot!. Grade B+#7 With Friends Like These. This is hilarious as it's tied for my 3rd favorite, Rowan plays a wacky priest, and it's very funny,, then he plays a kooky best man, who opens his big mouth one too many times, however the funniest of them all is the grumpy father in law, that had me in tears!. Grade A#8. Pink Tights And Plenty Of Props. This is one is great, as Rowan shows his incredible versatility here, playing all sorts of crazy roles, i especially loved the villain with the physical defect!, the ending is also a scream! Grade B+#9 No One Called Jones. This is one of the funniest things i have ever seen, as i couldn't stop laughing even afterwords!, the nasty names he used to call the students were just crazy, and Rowan played with a straight face!, i couldn't believe that, this is my favorite out of all of them, you will be laughing hard trust me!. Grade A+#10. The Final Bash. This was a perfect way to end, as Rowan once again shows his incredible versatility, by pretending to be a drummer and playing musical instruments, and the sounds are really catchy, the end was especially great!. Grade AOverall This is some of the funniest sketches i have ever seen, Rowan Atkinson is simply put a genius, and i say Go see it immediately!. ***** out of 5!

What can I say about Rowan Atkinson that hasn't already been said? He is brilliantly asinine, wonderfully silly and a greater comedian I have yet to see... if he made you laugh in the "Black Adder" and "Bean" series, you'll love his blend of naughty humor in this live show. There are ten sketches in the show, and each one is a gem. My personal favorites are "The Good Loser", in which he is a bitter actor who has lost an award to a loathed castmate; "With Friends Like These", in which three of his 'near and dear ones' each give a toast at his wedding; and "Pink Tights and Plenty of Props", in which our man Rowan gives one of his most hilarious performances ever as an acting instructor (watch for when the evil brother is 'fatally' wounded and 'dies in character'. I screamed with laughter and tears ran down my face! I also had to run to the loo, 'cause I laughed so hard!) All in all, I just want to say: "DO NOT BUY THIS TAPE IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO LAUGH!"...and you might want to put a plastic cover over the couch cushions just in case! (smile!) ENJOY!
