Hear the outrageous unseen stories of the Celebrity Big Brother house and what Jim really thought about his fellow housemates! Back and Live! promises to be his most hilarious, shocking and insightful show to date. ‘A master of his art’ The Spectator‘Davidson was cheered to the rafters’ The Daily Telegraph‘Standing ovation to packed houses every night’ The Mirror

Wow. The best stand-up DVD released in years!
Wow. The best stand-up DVD released in years!Let me start with the negatives. The show was recorded in a small theater and I still saw a few empty seats (although it was mostly full). There is nothing to the set. The microphone had a slight echo to it and the titles felt very 'home-movie' style. It definitely feels as though this DVD was produced on a streamline budget.However what it makes up for in technical style, it more than surpasses ten-fold on content and quality. Jim should be headlining Mock the Week. His writing is so very clever. The whole show was written to build, progress and find punchlines in otherwise dark material. He opens up with some nice observation comedy before divulging into the bad year. While the transition to it is notably awkward - that's the only way to approach it and wow, does he find the laughter in the madness.His one-liners are perfectly timed and his stories are captivating. He could have perhaps built up the ending better, as I wanted to give him a standing ovation even from my own home, while watching the DVD. But he basically ended the story he was on and the audience didn't know it was the end of the whole show, and not just that story. When they realized it was the end, they all stood up for him - which he truly deserved. But that's partly the problem of being such a great storyteller - your so drawn in to what he is saying that you just don't want him to end!Its 86 minutes long and includes a bunch of extras lasting 20 minutes.He does swear a lot, which was off-putting for a while and so it does earn its 15 certificate. I am very much against swearing but his stories and jokes made sticking with him worth it.I was never really a fan of Jim before this DVD. I knew off him but never watched his TV shows. I have watched all the stand-up DVDs released for the last few years and this is now in my top five of all time. Quality writing with a heartfelt delivery. a winning combination!

Jim Davidsons rebuild of his career
Jim a little more serious, but still captivates an audience. His usual stand up (for adult minded people ONLY of course) routine, but also giving his explanation of serious allegations made against him and his troubles with making a rebuild of his career. Saw this show live in York prior to the dvd being made so obvious knew what was coming, as a fan of Jim it goes well along with his book. He still holds an audience, and has he says, the REAL people that matter are his audience and fans. Although not continually jokey and funny right the way through it does make for good viewing, would recommend.
