I have been a fan of Gallagher for many years now, and when my daughter recently discovered him as well, I decided that it was time to buy some new Gallagher videos. This DVD came out in 2005, and has two shows.
Mad As Hell is very good, almost classic Gallagher, with the funny man turning his wit and perspicacity loose on the world. This show was very funny and a pleasure to watch, even if it does not have the Sledge-O-Matic in it. It is sixty minutes long.
Two Real is a different Gallagher than I remember. In this show he relies much more heavily on the props for the humor, rather than his witty perception of the world around him. It is disappointingly unfunny, and is even dirtier than the other shows I have seen. He does do a Sledge-O-Matic bit at the beginning of this show, but it is quick and not funny. This show is thirty-five minutes long
So, as a long-time Gallagher fan, let me just say that this DVD contains one 5-star Gallagher show, and one 2-star Gallagher show. Overall, I am glad that I bought this DVD, but it could have been better. I give this DVD a guarded recommendation.
