Hal Roach - King of Irish Comedy 2005 Horror Movie Reviews

It is said on St. Patrick Day that everyone is Irish; with this Hal Roach 2-DVD set you can now be Irish all year round. Hal's unique comedy brings you the spirit and mirth of not only Irish humor but the charm and essence of Ireland. Often billed as the" King of Blarney", Hal Roach is also known as the Bob Hope of Ireland. His comedy is performed in story after story in a patter of perfection. Hal Roach, Ireland's greatest comedian, in a brogue as thick as Irish stew, shows us the art of delivering comedy with a touch of brilliance that exudes warmth and style and shows that he has the audience in the palm of his hand and he never lets them go. The first port of call for all those visiting Dublin was Jury's Irish Cabaret. For almost 30 years Hal Roach had them rolling on the floor in laughter. Hal's humor has entertained countless thousands of visitors to Ireland and sent them home to the four corners of the globe with a smile in their heart and fond memories of that funny little guy. As the sounds of laughter build with each punch line to cascade across the room, Hal teases his audience by saying "write it down" or "that was a good one" or "I see you liked that one". He paints pictures with his words; his jokes nearly always point out double entendres or play on words with such authority and control that he mesmerizes his audience and never loses their attention.This comedy special is an uplifting experience, filmed at the height of his career, that will leave you light-hearted and with tears of comic joy. It's a clean and hysterical show for the entire family. Hal Roach is truly a comic genius and we may never see his kind again.He's the funniest man in the world: Los Angeles Times. The audience loved him and so will you, a night to remember: New York Times. Nearly two hours of humor and never told one off-color joke. What a blessing: USA Today
