Rowan Atkinson Live (1992)

Very Cool!!!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I have always had a fascination with comedy having watched countless comedy stand up shows and even more comedians from all over the world. When I came across this again I remember watching this as a child and thinking it was funny then, and to watch it again 10-12 years later, it was ever more hilarious now. With his classic array of characters and his unique twist on humor of everyday scenarios matched only by his impeccable acting skills are a summation of a great comedy stand up show. Mr. Beans beginnings are obviously in this show, but in my opinion, I actually thought it was one of the weaker sketches compared to other hilarious sketches in this show.P.S. the opening it great

I have the habit of watching movies late in the night at about 3 or 4. And usually, I don't watch a certain movie I heard about, but the first thing I stumble upon. It so happens that a few nights ago, I "stumbled upon" Rowan Atkinson's Show. I must admit that I was very skeptical at first regarding this one because I am not one of the biggest Mr. Bean fans. In fact, I sometimes hate watching Mr. Bean :) But I said I should probably give it a try. I found it wonderful that after the first 5 minutes I was already hooked up and I couldn't look away from the monitor. I was actually starting to enjoy it. Half way through the show, I was laughing so loud that my neighbors called me to see if I'm alright cause they are hearing strange noises. In my opinion, this is definitely a movie that all comedy lovers (not only Mr. Bean fans :) ) should watch. Enjoy your movie! :)

I caught parts of this performance on cable and was very impressed. Then I was in Sun Coast Video and saw the entire show for sale on VHS and I immediately bought it. I was not disappointed.Mr. Atkinson is trapped by his Mr. Bean character and it's a shame. I'm sure there are quite a few folks out there that would not bother to watch this type of performance thinking it will be filled with his somewhat gross line of comedy. There is some of that but for the most part, this video contains very thoughtful, and more importantly, very funny pieces of sketch comedy. In some places I laughed so hard I cried.Get a few friends together and laugh till you pass out.

I agree with all the comments here; the tape, which now seems to be out of print, is great. However, I have a version that was released in 1997 by PolyGram, and it is missing three of the sketches listed here: Thomas, Richard and Harold; Elementary Dating; and Guys After the Game. It does have one sketch, A Final Bash, that the earlier version did not have. In this, Atkinson mimes playing an elaborate drum set. Still, I would give anything to see the 1991 version. I have no clue why these changes were made.
