Filmed on a Boston stage in 1991, this concert film features British comic Rowan Atkinson in selected sketches from 10 years of performing and creating characters. Fans of The Thin Blue Line, in which Atkinson plays a British policeman, will be pleased, but Mr. Bean enthusiasts will be ecstatic with the handful of great Bean moments re-created for a live audience. A real treat for the Atkinson faithful. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - worst Rowan Atkinson yet
Usually I am a huge Rowan Atkinson/Mr Bean fan. However, this is one of his flops. The only reason this received a two star and not two is there about two areas where one gets a small laugh.
Rating: - Rowan Atkinson live and talented
This is a live example of the great talent of Rowan Atkinson who is much more than Mr. Bean.
Rating:  - Very funny but a little distasteful
I bought this as a gift for my husband who loves Mr. Bean, but I didn't know anything about its content. We were more than pleased to find a few very funny skits but very disappointed to find that some of the skits were beyond crude. They were down right distasteful and not worth watching at all. However, as this is a DVD, you can easily skip over those skits and enjoy the hilarious clean ones. That's why I still give it 3 stars.

Rowan Atkinson Live
I first saw this on cable several years ago. Anyone who enjoys Rowan Atkinson's comedic talents is in for a good time with this program. Recorded during a performance in Boston in 1991, it includes some classic irreverent jabs at British schools, religion, and social conventions. Atkinson appears supported by Angus Deayton as his straight man and narrator. Some routines are better than others, but humor is about as subjective as anything can get, so the bits that I didn't like as much might be the best things on the disk to someone else.
My favorite moments include "A Warm Welcome", in which Rowan plays the Devil as a polite, somewhat smarmy host in a smoking jacket welcoming the Damned - which ends up being just about everyone - to Hell. Some of the groups who are damned wholesale are startling and hilarious. "With Friends Like These..." involves Deayton narrating the horrors of his wedding day, with Atkinson portraying, in rapid succession, the lecherous priest who did the honors, his sillyass best man giving an incoherent and incriminating speech at the reception, and his new and utterly drunken father-in-law giving a heartfelt toast to the man he thinks his daughter should have married and an irreversible rejection of the groom's family. I spurn you as I would spurn a rabid dog... "Pink Tights and Plenty of Props" features Deayton as a professor of theatre giving a lecture on classic performance while Atkinson acts out the instructions on stage. ... Read More
Rating: - The best Rowan aktinson ever done.
This is in my eyes one of the abslolute best things hi has ever done. It covers about everything you want and it's made whith much humour and perfection. many sketches in perfect length. Dont miss the extras. For example "The guys after the game". Totaly hillarous. Buy it and laugh. Well spent money.
