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!

This is one of the funniest collections of skits I've ever seen. Atkinson's bits are original and well delivered on this tape. He plays everything from the devil, to masochistic school director, to a jealous actor. There is even a little Bean in this one! I only wish someone would distribute in on DVD. Tape looses its quality after a while, and I won't be able to replace it once it goes bad. We really need to get a petition going to get this on DVD in the states. It could have been a suggested sale item on the Johnny English DVD, but oh well.

These sketches show that there is much more to Rowan Atkinson than Mr. Bean! From an excellent portrayal of Lucifer, the devil to an actor who can't win an award, to an Indian waiter; he keeps the audience laughing.The video lets you be amongst the audience and watch humour, some intelligent, some plain dirty. It doesn't matter because by the end of the last sketch you're sorry there isn't any more. Angus Deayton not only supports Rowan, but also delivers an excellent performance in his own right.
