Lebbis: Hoe Laat Begint Het Schieten

Hoe laat begint het schieten? Mensen vragen al snel, waarom die titel? Kijk. Ik ga in dit nieuwe programma de wereld weer een stukje beter maken. Dat geloof ik. Zoals de aanhangers van Transcendente Meditatie geloven dat ze uiteindelijk kunnen vliegen. Zoals Jan Peter Balkenende denkt dat hij een Christen is. Zoals astrologen geloven dat het moment waarop je geboren bent en de stand van de sterren onze levensloop beïnvloeden. Zo denk ik dat ik de wereld beter ga maken. In ieder geval voor mezelf, want: verbeter de wereld, begin bij jezelf. En als iedereen dat doet wordt het toch beter.

Dave Allen

Dave Allen was an alternative comedian before the phrase even existed. He was an innovator who set the agenda for comedy and comedians for more than thirty years. All he needed was a stool and a glass of something and he was in his element, reflecting laconically on such subjects as sex, the Irish and God, traffic, smoking, the Bible, Life and Death. Also sex, the Irish and God... This DVD contains his very own personal choice of sketches, gags and monologues. It's a vintage display from a unique raconteur - a man who observes out guilt, weaknesses and doubts and makes us laugh at them and at ourselves.
